My Cat Profile
About Me
Active within 1797 Days
Hi! My name is TORI (Katrina Torrence)
I am a Devon Rex from Round Lake, IL
Nicknames: Tori, Torikins, Twitchy Paw, the Grey One, Golem
Age: 9 years old
Gender: F
Coat: curly coat
Education: Tori plays fetch better than any other animal I have ever played with. She hears where the toy lands and goes straight to it. She will look until she finds the toy (different levels, in stuff, behind things). She will tell me when she is ready to play again by meowing. If I don't pay attention she will paw me until I do. She loves to run from people and does a spectacular job letting them THINK they are picking her up - then uses those backlegs to launch free and continue the chase! Tori knows her claws are sharp and will generally not use them while playing with humans. She even tries not use them if she jumps on your shoulder. Tori likes to chase me, too. She waits for me to walk by and ambushes my feet and ankles with a barrage of bats from her paws. She purrs like an motorboat and sometimes she trys to purr so hard she sounds more like a cooing pigeon :-}
My favorite tricks and treats are: Fetch! I come when I am called. I know when my owner needs to be up for work and help her out of bed if she ignores her alarm. I like to use the prairie dog style of standing to see things a little higher than me. I also ride on Mom's shoulders when I don't feel like following her on foot. and Homemade catnip/ cedar pillows, Cheese Its (this wonderful, cheesy, crunchy treat MUST be for me!), beef jerky, pizza crust, pistacios, basically anything I'm not supposed to have
Where I hang out: The warm rooms. Blankets, clothes, heating pads, under the bed, in the closet, in the windows and on the kitchen counter. Laps are preferable
My favorite grubs: Egg and Salmon, any bread or cracker, beef jerky. I will insist on having a bite and study where these elusive treats are hidden for ransacking later
My pet peeves: Stealing my sleeping spot, picking up my fetch game, being ignored, a dirty litter box (I will announce it to the house if it's not to specifications) and a late meal
What I love about my owners: She makes room for me when I want to nap, she makes homemade food (I have a sensitive stomach) and toys, she listens when I meow (and knows why)
My cat hobbies: Sleep under the covers with my own piece of pillow, play with catnip pillows, talk/ chatter to birds and squirrels, play chase, play/ fight with my younger sister (Page), intimidate the dog, bat at feet and purrrrring while getting a massage
Pet motto: That's my spot ...

How We Met
I needed a friend. I've always had a pet and found myself living alone, without one. I wanted a dog, but knew that I would not be able to devote the time and attention it needed. My boyfriend told me about a wonderful cat breed, the Devon Rex. They are playful, inquisitive, smart and SOFT. My previous cats were not involved with me and I wanted an active, involved pet. The Devon Rex breed seemed so perfect. I found a local breeder and signed up for the next litter due. Tori was a good blend of play and love - not to mention her special coloring (platinum/ cream tortie). I wanted to name her something cool and Torrence reminded me of the flurry of cat claws and the color of her coat. She purrs so loud it sometimes sounds more like bird than a cat. She is the most loving creature I've ever had the pleasure of knowing

Stupid dog Started barking at something last night. He kept making quiet little 'woof's until the humans told him to be quiet. I decided he needed a little dicipline so I chased him out of the room.Come visit me, TORI (Katrina Torrence) & PAGE (Easter Rampage).

Ninja Tori! She watched me put her bag of treats on the top shelf of our fireplace brick wall. I found the treats on the ground and the cats munching away not an hour later. I put the treats back and watched for her move ... I would have thought she would jump from shelf to shelf to get up there, but instead she made one giant leap to the brick wall next to the shelf grabbed on to the bricks with her claws(Um - about 6 feet up). She leaned over, grabbed the bag with her mouth, dropped it and jumped down after it. Having witnessed the ninja moves, I decided to put the treats in an old catnip cup with a plastic lid. About an hour later, Tori had the cup on the ground. I didn't think it would be an issue, but 15 minutes later she had the lid off and was running away with the treats! All of this came about because I broke my ceramic container that used to hold the treats.Come visit me, TORI (Katrina Torrence) & PAGE (Easter Rampage).

Playing Today I was sitting in my favorite spot, on the kitchen counter, watching Mom put away groceries. I noticed Page on the floor leaping from grocery bag to grocery bag. She settled in on one and I decided it was time to play chase. I slowly crept down to the stool for more cover. She made a leap towards me as I was getting ready to pounce. I quickly ran in the other direction - through the dining room, down the hall and back into the kitchen. Page made an awful amount of noise coming after me, but she never even got close. Mom finally started downstairs and she was moving her feet really fast, so I knew I could chase and bat at them (my favorite game) I started running down the hall after her and all of the sudden Page jumped out of the darkness and body-checked me into the wall. I suppose she thinks this is some sort of victory ... one battle, the war continues.Come visit me, TORI (Katrina Torrence) & PAGE (Easter Rampage).

My favorite recipie ... Scrambled egg and salmon: Two eggs scrambled (no milk, no butter, no spices) with a can of pink salmon (drained). Mix it up with a blender, mixer or food processor (you can chop it up, too but it's a lot of work) My favorite part about this recipie is that it's not too dry and not too moist and just the right temperature after it goes from the pan to the mixer to the bowl.Come visit me, TORI (Katrina Torrence) & PAGE (Easter Rampage).
