Most Expressive

Most Expressive

Name: Tiger
Breed: Persian
Fun Fact: I’ve heard that out in the wild, white cats are the most bullied ones. Tiger, as his name suggests, is fierce, loving, naughty and full of expressions. One minute he is judging you and the other he’ll be sleeping.
He rarely sits on the table, and when he does it is usually to judge our actions. 😂
