Tigger, the Cat of the Day
Name: Tigger
Age: Four years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Cobourg, Ontario, Canada
 
   This is our special family member, Tigger. Tigger came from a litter of nine kittens! But the twist in the story is that there were two mother cats. Two sister cats became pregnant at the same time, and the first one had a litter of five kittens, and her sister, had her own litter of four kittens the very next day. The family who owned the two mom cats said that all nine kittens, would nurse from either mom, whichever one had more room I guess! So, we really don't know which one was Tigger's mom, since his siblings and cousins all nursed together!! Tigger was the runt of the litter, and would repeatedly have his head stepped on by his siblings and cousins while trying to eat!! Well, we fell in love with him instantly, since he was the only little kitten who seemed calm and quiet, and was happy to just be held and cuddled. Now he is a happy healthy member of our family, but his quiet calmness has diminished, since he will sometimes run from one end of the house to the other - at lightening speed - with no warning!! His love of cuddling has also changed somewhat, since it has to be his decision when to cuddle, and we must just be happy with his decision once he has made it!! Yes, he has his own style, but we love him, and wouldn't have him any other way!
