Nacho Kitty and Mr. Biscuits are two cats who live with Cassandra Larose, evening/weekend supervisor at the Sexton Design & Technology Library.

Name: Nacho Kitty (brown) and Mr. Biscuits (black and white)

Nickname: Nacho Baby, Nich Nach, Nugget; Biscy, Small Sir, Arnold T. Biscuits

Species/breed: Nacho is a Torbi (Tortoiseshell/Tabby mix) and has the Torbitude to show for it. Biscuits prefers to be known for his sophisticated Tuxedo look.

Age: 10 (Nacho) and 6 (Biscuits)

Fave Food: They both love salmon (especially if it’s smoked and offered from Mom’s bagel). Nacho loves shredded cheese, and Biscuits is a fan of licking takeout burger wrappers.

Special Tricks: They are both champion biscuit makers. Mr. Biscuits also likes to unwind by watching TV – he is currently making his way though Murder She Wrote.

Best quality: Nacho Kitty likes to stun with her beauty, but she’s also got a great personality. She also is turning into quite the impressive Dal staff member, as she likes to sit in a chair next to me as I work from home, offering her input at many meetings. Biscuits is hilarious. In addition to always kneading the dough, he loves to flip over and show his tummy, as well as stretch his legs in the air and leave them there for a while.

Social media platform or handle, if available: They are new to Instagram @nachoandbiscuits and looking to make friends.
