Tigger

This is our boy Tigger James. We got Tigger in June of 2006. He came to us from Northwest Animal Companians (NAC). The people who had him couldn’t keep him any longer.

Tigger was just six weeks old when he was in a storm and had a door slammed on him that broke his back. The people that had him had just lost their first

baby to a miscarriage so Tigger was their baby. They took very good care of him. Expressing his bladder and changing his diaper. They also gave him a bath everyday. They found out he was allergic to cat food with corn in it so had to buy him special food. They ended up having two healthy babies but had to get rid of Tigger. They really didn’t want to. The day we were to pick him up she said she couldn’t part with him and not to come get him. Well she called the next day and said he had an accident on the carpet and the landlord said he had to go so we got this special smart boy! He was about five years old when we got him, so he  is around eight now. Every day I express his bladder and colon and change his diaper. His is pretty good about letting me do this but I do have a few scars from his claws LOL. He is the smartest cat I have ever seen. He figures out how to do things other cats wouldn’t even think of. Example-we had to board him to go to California for my dads funeral and when we went to pick him up his cage had tape around the safety latch! Yep, he figured out how to do the safety latch and the other latch to get out. Oh ya, he loves to go outside and sneaks out the dog door. One day we had the dog door closed and he got on his back and was able to get the door open and out he went leaving his diaper in the door frame on the way out, my wife Pat was able to video that. I am going to try to post that so you can see it. It is on a tape so I need to figure out how to get it on the pc. I am pretty new at all this computer stuff but I am learning! More on Tigger later.
