Arrival Story: We have been living in our new house for about 3 months and the last couple weeks we have been hearing a lot of noise under the house. Because we live in the country we were scared it might be a possum or raccoon or some squirrels. So we set a humane trap. And Tigger is what we caught. We pet him gave him some turkey sandwich meat and some water (It was in the 100 degrees + that day). Then we were stuck. He has been living on our back porch now for about a week. He is dying to come inside the house and will dart in only to be faced with my three dogs and will high tail it out. We would love to bring him in but it just would not work out with the dogs. But he can live out there as long as he wants to.******** That was the old story! Tigger and the dogs get along GREAT! It all started after we had him neutered and had his injured foot fixed. We don't know how it happened, but we noticed him limping. My husband was not thrilled with "another vet bill" but I cried and said it could be our anniversary present so he let me get his foot fixed as well as him neutered. The vet advised us to keep him inside for 2 to 3 weeks. We bandaged his foot and he would rip the bandage off and rip out his stitches. After another trip to the vet to put his stitches back in and he did it again. We got him the e-collar. Within two days we introduced him to the dogs and they did spectacular. He loves the dogs especially Lizzie and she adores him. Bandit will chase him if he runs but never aggressively. And Bridgette could care less either way, she loves to kiss him though. She will kiss his face every time she see's him. Now Teddy is starting to do it too. He is still learning to get used to Delilah and Harley, they are a little too nutty for him. But he is still so gentle and accepting. I had a soft spot for him. I felt he had to have some traumatic experience in his life. He is SO sweet and LOVES people we know he had to have a home and one time. And then all the sudden weather it was an accident (he got lost) or on purpose (he was dumped out here) he went from a loving home life to living off rats and mice under a country home hiding from coyotes, loose dogs, feral cats, possums, raccons, and hawks. He cannot get enough love, he follows us everywhere we go. I made a deal with my husband that if Tigger could be allowed in the house he could have the $1500 stimulus check. Now he comes in whenever he wants, but by his own choice he spends most of the days outside unless its to hot or cold!
Bio: We have never really been cat people. We like them but we have always had dogs. Anyway when Tigger found us I think it was fate. I did want one cat, and my husband walks outside one day and says I heard rustling under the house. I had also been hearing it late at night for a couple days so we set a humane trap and Tigger is what we found. He came straight out all purrs and lots of rubbing kitty love. In the beginning we weren't so sure it would work out, and thought about calling some rescues. Because he sprayed on my husband prized hot rot, he clawed open one of our window screens, he would also bite when he got really excited about our attention, and we HATE the idea of a litter box. And if he was going to be my kitty there is NO way I would leave him outside at night. We have local feral cats, large dogs run loose, hawks, coyotes, and other diseased animals such as raccoons and possums. Anyway, he stayed mainly outside as I had three dogs at the time that had never been around cats. I took each dog one at a time out on a leash to meet him and none of them showed any signs of aggression with him. Then I noticed him limping one day and saw that his paw pad was completely ripped in two. I also wanted to get him neutered as we have LOTS of feral cats out here and I do not want to help contribute to them as well as the pet overpopulation. So we took him to the vet to fix his foot and him and to get all his vaccines. The vet recommended 2 to 3 weeks indoors. He was NOT happy about being locked up all the time. He ran out into the living room one day and the dogs didn't even care, just wanted to sniff him. So as soon as he recovered from the surgeries he was a different cat, he had NO more behavioral problems. We clip his front claws, we got him a cat tree for him to scratch on (he figured it out really fast) and I would walk away and ignore him when he would do the love bite. He's a smart kitty and a fast learner. He goes out when he wants, comes in when he wants. And he could not be a happier more loved and spoiled kitty. From day one (since he was inside the house) he has gotten along GREAT with my dogs, my four year old daughter. And he is just a purr machine. I told my husband "I bet we could search for years and not find a cat that is good with kids, dogs, and living in the country safely." He was a gift from heaven and we are so glad he found us.
