Gorilla, having always wanted to be a denizen of the jungle, named himself after watching hours of Dian Fossey's documentaries on mountain gorillas. He felt that he was meant to be a gorilla but somehow ended up in the body of a house cat (a very large house cat). He had hoped to go live with them in the wild, but due to his slight vision impairment, he instead chose to live a more quiet life, becoming the first cat to achieve a PhD in Zoology with a focus on gorilla studies. Want to bring a little black cat magic into your home? Think Gorilla may be your new bestie? Within an 8 hour drive of Asheville, NC and ready to take the plunge? Great!
