Arrival Story: I am Blades cousin, I don't live with Blade but with his grandma. I used to live with a lovely old lady called Winnie (that's why I'm called Tigga - get it?) but sadly she was very old and she passed away. I then ,oved into my present home just across the street from my original home, at he age of 6.
Bio: At first I was very shy. My poor old Winnie had gone into hospital and I was left to fend for myself. I was seperated from my canine sister who went to live with Winnie's brother, but they didn't want me. That's when I came to live with my new mum, Joyce.
Now I'm very affectionate but VERY territorial.
Every now and then I take on a new 'apprentice', a young male cat who needs to learn the ways of the world. Tigga's world. My apprentice will follow me everywhere watching and learning from me how to be a 1st class cat. My apprentice is NOT allowed to enter my home. If he tries, woe betide him! When he qualifies as a first class cat, I send him on his way. Then I take on a new apprentice. My first apprentice was Robbie a.k.a. 'Bob'. He lives across the street and I taught him all he knows. During his apprenticeship, we were inseparable. Now I have a new apprentice, we aren't sure where he comes from, but he turns up for his tutorials most days. He'll make a fine cat. We recently found out his name is Dave.
I recently had some major dental surgery and now only have one bottom fang. Don't laugh...all that means is: more lbs of pressure per that fang!
Lives Remaining: 8 of 9

The Last Forum I Posted In: Some good looking stuff for your humans...
I have been enlisted into the 'tag' game by Sunrise, Fortitude, Miranda and Maxwell!. Theses are the rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own diary about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.
My seven random facts are:
1) In summer I have a pronounced auburn streak down the centre of my back.
2) I love to be groomed
3) I tripped my mum and she broke her ankle in October 2006.
4) I am one of 6 only 6 Catsters called 'Tigga' yet there are 616 'Tiggers'.
5) I used to live across the street from where I live now but my first mum Winnie was very old and went to heaven. I now live with my second mum Joyce in the house opposite.
6) I used to have a a Cairn terrier sister called Tansy at my first home but she went to live with my human uncle.
7) I like all kinds of seafood, even cockles and mussels!
Well, it was back to the hospital for the umpteenth time today for my mum.
When I tripped her over, back at the end of October, they plastered her broken ankle and sent her home but 3 weeks after that she was back in hospital having Open Reduction Internal Fixation surgery. In cat terms that meant she had two screws put in to hold together the bits that weren't mending.
Now today, 5weeks and 5days after the initial injury she went back to hospital to see how the ankle was doing. They removed the cast to check on her wound from the surgery and it looked good. They x-rayed it and that looked good too. The bad new was that she still has to have a cast on for another 5 1/2 weeks and STILL cannot put weight on it! I think she'd been expecting that the doctor was going to let her walk home or something...oh no.
The good news is that they put a nice festive red cast on this time. Blades mum is going to put a bit of white faux fur around the top to make it look even more like Santa's boot. I don't think my mum really liked that idea but never mind.
At least mum has me to snuggle her during these cold winter nights and she assures me that she doesn't hold me responsible for her accident.
I'll do everything I can to try to resist the urge to dash in front of her again...
