Tristan Jones

Notice the similarity?

That's why we named our newest cat Tristan Jones. His weathered and world-wise look reminded us of sailor/author Tristan Jones. He is a famous (or infamous) spinner of nautical yarns. Years after his death, the debate continues as to whether  his stories are fact or fiction. If you dream of adventure, his stories will captivate you.

Our Tristan is not especially daring. However, he is the most photogenic of our critters. While Foc's'le strikes more dramatic poses, Tristan will actually wait long enough for you to take the picture.

 

 Tristan does another unusual thing: he actually uses cat toys and accessories, such as this purr pad. Most cats ignore those things and just look at you as if you are crazy.

Like most authors, Tris enjoys cuddling up in a comfy chair and reading a good book. But in as much as cats don't read, he just cuddles up.

And just WHAT are you looking at?

Another funny thing about Tris is that he attacks this pattern on the bed linen. Here he is exhausted after a particularly tough battle.

The holiday seems to bring out Tristan's glowing personality.
