Tigger

Tigger is from a litter of a stray calico cat. The same calico also had Angel from a different litter. Tigger is a couple years older than Angel. He was born in 1998-1999. The stray had her litter in the back of Mom's truck. When there was a tornado warning for the area of Denton, Texas, I grabbed all the kittens and brought them inside our house. They were around 1 to 2 weeks old and they all had a bad eye infection. Not one of them could open their eyes. We had to take them to the vet's and get some sab to put on them twice daily. Meanwhile, the momma cat kept crying for them. SO we returned two of her kittens and kept the other three, Tigger, Dusty, and Miss Pandy who was the runt of the litter. We had to force feed Pandy to keep her alive. Tigger was the biggest & healthiest of the litter. He was so eager to eat at feeding time that he litterally scalped poor Dusty & Miss Pandy with his claws to beat them to the food. All grown up, Tigger has not changed much. He still believes he is top cat & will swat at the other cats to claim his area on the bed or at the food. He is a brat, but very loveable to humans and to Paco. He will also boss around Buddy, but Shorty will put Tigger in his place.
