She had been abandoned by her mother when she was barely three weeks old and she hid herself under a raspberry bush. When the lady that found her showed Tigger to us, the kitten jumped onto hubby's chest and licked his chin. The decision was done and Tigger became hubby's cat. She has never been a cuddler but she is very smart and does things we have never had other cats in the past ever do.
She has many beds in various places and is fussy on what kind of bed it is.
She will not be put in a carrier but she will sleep in one as long as it is her plan.
She had traveled well as a kitten but once there were too many trips to the vet - she no longer wanted to travel at all.
She still plays but as long as she doesn't think you are watching. If she catches you, she stops and walks away.
She has her own way of waking up hubby to get her breakfast and it starts very gentle but gets more and more firm if he doesn't get up right away.
She loves to sit up in her nest to watch what goes on in her home and outside views of the creatures of her kingdom. Other tenants may not know that she is the queen of this kingdom but she does - LOL.
She does a pretty good impression of a baby seal too - LOL
Yes, she is the boss of this home and will steal your water if you leave it full to go get something.
I wish you all a great weekend.
This post makes me smile, Alicia! Tigger is all cat! The Prisoner is purring his support of whatever quirks are in Tigger's plans!
ReplyDeleteShe's not the least bit spoiled...is she?? 😸😽
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend with DD.
That's a lovely tribute to Tigger! It's clear that she's a unique and independent character. Her history of being abandoned and her subsequent bond with your husband is heartwarming.
ReplyDeleteTigger's personality sounds like a fascinating mix of feral instincts and domestic comfort. Her quirks, like her preference for certain beds and her clever ways of getting attention, make her all the more endearing.
It's wonderful that she's still enjoying her life and playing at eleven years old. Thanks for sharing her story!
Enjoy your weekend! (((BIG HUGS)))
