Tigris
is a love-child and comes from a misalliance between a Siberian
Cat only half a year old and an Abyssinian. So he has a rather unusual
genetic mix which makes him such a beautiful, relaxed and proud cat. His
fur is the softest and silkiest I have ever touched, it is ticked like
Abyssinian's and colored like a tabby's and especially at the belly it
is long and fluffy.
When we had read about him in a newspaper ad, we thought he might be the
right brother for Filou,
who was a single child. Tigris' human parents wanted him to make the
decision and he decided to come with us by sleeping immediately on my
lap with head and paws on my arm. He still likes to come to bed, lay
down by my left side, with his head on my arm and purring like a Harley.
He likes to stretch and show his beautiful tummy for a rub. It is a pity
that he only can live inside because he would certainly be the boss of
an outside cat population. He is thirteen pounds of muscles and the
quickest to catch fur mice and feather whisks. My husband cannot stop to
try to play rough with him although he should know that Tigris wins all
the time. They are best buddies and read the newspaper together (Tigris,
like many cats, reads with the belly). To make sure he gets enough
exercise, Tigris can open doors and attacks his brother. But later they
can be seen washing each others ears.
