Tigger, the Cat of the Day
Name: Tigger
Age: One year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Maine coon
Home: Colorado, USA
 
   This is a picture of Tigger. He is about one year old and still growing. Tigger is special because he was a stray that found us! He was lurking around in trash cans looking for food. Then one day the neighborhood kids brought him to us and asked if he was ours, because he looked just like our female kitty Cinnamon. So we put up posters, and watched the ads in the paper for a lost kitty, and I called the dog catcher for two weeks on a daily basis to see if anyone lost him. Lastly, we took him to our vet to run a scan to see if he had a chip in him for identification ... to our happiness he did not! So she said "Well, I guess he's yours!"

    Tigger is very loving and all he wants out of life is a meal every day and a belly rub or two...!!!! He and Cinnamon sleep next to one another and they clean each other. I think he thinks she is his mama. Tigger also collects stuffed animals and brings them to the spare bedroom and he puts them up on the bed. If I move them, he seeks them out and brings them back to his bed! One of the critters is as big as he is and he still carries it up there! Tigger is about two feet long from head to toe, and weighs about thirteen pounds and is still growing! He is one of our special kitties!
