Tuesdays with Tigris - Whatevs

 Reader,

As Styx mentioned, the people were away. It wasn't great but the neighbour kid is much more generous with her portions at dinner, so it wasn't all bad. She didn't understand the word diet.





I also had a little adventure with my pal Marv over the weekend, you can read about it HERE.

Mischief Monday - Traitors! Traitors! Traitors! by Styx

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

I am very mad, mad, mad this week. My people have been the big bad traitors and i don't know if I am going to forgive them. 

A picture from before I was so, so, so mad

I got a little mad, because Lady took another day off to drive cats to get spayed and neutered. This time she took 11. Here is one of the cats she took, who sang most of the ride.

I understand this is very important. While we cats are the most awesome, awesome, awesome, we do need to curb unnecessary reproduction. Allowing people access to affordable spay and neuter services is important! But I am still a little mad that she was gone from me all day. She could have just been with me, me, me. 

I might be able to forgive this, but Lady and Man were away for 87 million years and while they don't deserve it, they will probably tell you more about it here, I found these pictures on Lady's phone. This shows she has a pattern of loving other cats and not just me, me, me. They went to a cat cafe and played with kittens. They left us alone for 87 million years to play with kittens in another province. This is completely unacceptable. I am mad, mad, mad.

Part of me can't blame them from wanting to play with cats, because we are so great, great, great. These kittens are cute, cute, cute. But if I can't go, they should not be able to go.

Happy Anniversary Lady and Man

 Today the Lady and Man celebrate being married for 87 million years (some days it does feel like that, although legally is its 30). We will be away again this week, but expect to return to regular scheduled programming next week.

FFF Nature Friday - Window Watcher

 Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,

It is the best Friday of the month because we celebrate Aunty-Yam's FFF and Rosy and Sunny's Nature Friday.

I have a little poem for you

Why am I stuck inside

Staring out at the grass and sky,

When the dumbest birds get to walk free,

I wish I was a wild turkey.

Lanie's Log - The Newest Trick

I have been a prisoner for 282 days. In general, except when there is stranger danger, I can be very relaxed.


The Lady Warden (LW) has been working hard on a new trick, because I will already do it for the Man Warden and she is jealous. Mostly, I know if I am difficult she will give me extra treats. I am no fool!

The trick is sit on the LW for treats and then stay for pets. Styx has helped me work on this.


Terrible picture, but it was the first time LW had 2 of us on her and she was too excited.

Practicing on the day bed

Watching the Stampede

This brings LW a lot of joy.

Tuesdays with Tigris - Yes and No

 Reader,

Sometimes I demand belly rubs from my Lady. I don't really want them, but I do and I don't and I do and I end up biting her.  She thinks it is funny. 



Here she is just trying to capture my eye colour

Then when I am done with her, I hide. She will only leave me alone if she can't find me.


I am also hiding because it appears the people have been approved to be a cat foster home so in August I may have to put up with more garbage cats.
