Tiger the Cat
May 1st 2008 21:00
This is my friend Craig’s daughter’s cat called Tiger. Tiger has been trained to jump up in the air and press the top of her head against Craig’s hand when he says, “Kitty pats.” Tiger was actually given to Craig’s daughter as a present. When he told me this I started to say it was good that he and his daughter were happy to provide a home for a cat as often animals given as presents are often dumped once the novelty was over. Craig interrupted and said that the person giving the cat away had called him in advance to check if it was okay to buy his daughter a cat. Now that’s responsible pet giving!
Tiger is a very gentle and quiet cat. Craig’s had her for years but she has never scratched anyone. I found her very calm and friendly. It was also cute to watch Craig standing there saying, “Kitty pats” and watching Tiger jump up to meet his hand. The only negative thing I can say about Tiger is that she’s hard to photograph because she’s always moving around. This was about as close as I could get to a photograph.
It was a shame Craig didn’t mention he had a cat until the end of my visit, as I would have loved to have spent more time playing with her. She was lying on the bed when I first saw her. Oh well. Craig lives two hours away – near my parents’ – so I will have to wait until my next trip to see the oldies to then see Tiger again.
