A new nickname

This is our cat Tristan. I don't think I've ever posted about him. We got him about a year before we adopted Claire. He's had a hard time socially - he's not really a team player, and has always wanted to be an only cat, so now he finally has his wish, and gets to be the recipient of all of our cat-love. His personality is kind of like his coloring - black and white. He's either being really good, or he's being rotten. You'll be petting him, when suddenly he'll turn and bite you. If only he was as sweet as he is cute! Anyway, he has accumulated a few nicknames over the years:

Budder Bean
Trissy
Trissy Bug
Twissy
Sir Trissom Bug
Love Bug

He's been a healthy cat as far a sickness, but has gotten into quite a few scrapes due to his fighting with various neighborhood intruder cats. His latest injury was last week, when he came in limping. Larry took him to the vet, and while they could tell us his leg was not broken, they didn't really know what was wrong with it - it just appeared to be bruised. In order to determine this, they had to shave part of his leg. Now he has a new nickname:

Poodle Foot.
