Tigger – Floppycat of the Week

Here’s my handsome Cat. He’s name is Tigger I still remember the very first day I saw him. That was back in July 2007. 12 years ago! Time flies I have always loved Cats from a very young age and it was a dream to become a Cat parent And July 2007 that day finally came Tigger had entered my life and that’s when my life changed for the better He was only 8 months old My Tigger is a fighter because he went through a lot Here’s a little background You see, Tigger has only half a tail This happened during the winter when fireworks were going off with the previous owners Tigger is scared of fireworks and he somehow managed to get out of the house He wanted to hide somewhere to get away from the sounds of fireworks So he decided to take shelter inside the Car bonnet Now the family went out looking for Tigger as they realized he went missing So they decided to use the Car to go looking for him They did not know that Tigger was hiding in their Car bonnet Not knowing this, the family drove the Car unfortunately And this resulted in Tigger losing half his tail I don’t know how old he was when this happened But all I know my Tigger is a very strong Cat Despite going through this terrible accident it hasn’t stopped him being an adorable Cat full of life and energy Back in July 2007 when I first became owned by Tigger my life changed for the better He was the one who I would go to He bought a smile to everyone’s face When he would sit on the window porch looking out the window, people that would go past would always compliment him and tell me “Can I have your Cat” I don’t blame them because Tigger is one handsome Cat This may sound crazy but Tigger was always there for me through my college days I would let out my problems to him because he’s such a good listener and that actually helped me Tigger is such a friendly Cat and is very approachable He loves the attention too! I’ll tell you one thing Tigger loves and that is Treats! And boy does he know how to get one What he’d do is he’ll hang about where we keep the treats And then he’ll look at me with such a cute face and slowly will blink at me He would then meow and purr at the same time That really gets to me and touches my heart so how can I say no to him? He’s good at manipulating and knowing how to get what he wants! Tigger’s favorite food is the Sheba brand – It is expensive but hey! He deserves the best Tigger loves sunbathing and as soon as the sun is out here in England (Which is very rare!) he’ll go sunbathe all day Back in the early days Tigger would love waking me up at 5.30am! He would come meow at my bedroom door because he would be hungry He doesn’t do that no more because he does tend to sleep more now due to him becoming older He’s going to 12 years old in November! I don’t know where the time has gone! All these years I have learnt a lot about Cats and the more I learn about them the more I become fascinated They’re such amazing animals Due to my love and affection for Cats I decided to create a website which is all about Cats
