Tigger earns himself a name
Most of my cats have last names (Ozy and Millie Undefoot, Avery and
Mudpie Smallcat, Fleagor Bigcat, etc.) but Tigger has been with me for a couple of years now without one. Saturday he earned one: Tigger Guardcat. I heard hissing and growling coming from the mud room and saw that Tigger was crouched down at the cat flap, making absolutely sure that whatever was trying to come in would have to go through him to do it, and that was likely to be difficult and deadly. I assumed he was stopping Mooch (the feral who lives under my workshop), but when I got to the door and looked out, Mooch was just out there, looking more like he was watching the workshop - as were several otehr cats - than like he had just been chased off. About that time a raccoon run out from under the workshop and took off for the north fence. Tigger had driven off an adult raccoon that the other cats had simply ignored. -- T.E.D. ) SPAM filter: Messages to this address *must* contain "T.E.D." somewhere in the body or they will be automatically rejected. |

No treats - he's an eighteen-pound cat on a ten-pound cat frame, in short, he's seriously obese. He was that way when I took him in. -- T.E.D. ) SPAM filter: Messages to this address *must* contain "T.E.D." somewhere in the body or they will be automatically rejected. |

It all went to his head: he now spends all night cuddled up with me in bed while the coons, and probably possums come in and help themselves to the cat food. This problem started when I accidentally left the back door open over night last Saturday. -- T.E.D. ) SPAM filter: Messages to this address *must* contain "T.E.D." somewhere in the body or they will be automatically rejected. |
