 | TIGER KITTY
Tiger kitty was my favorite! Tiger kitty came to our home when I was four years old.
Tiger kitty slept with me, cuddled and purred in the crook of my arm. Tiger kitty had the prettiest soft orange-stripe fur, a tail with a white tip, and a little white nose with a single freckle.
One day when it was very windy, Tiger kitty went away into the woods behind our house. We called and called Tiger kitty, but he didn't come back for a day and a night, and another day and a night, and then one morning there was Tiger kitty by the back door mewing to be let inside-we where so happy, we kissed and hugged him.
Tiger kitty was very happy to be home! Tiger kitty gobbled up all the food in him dish and mewed for more.
Some change has taken place in Tiger kitty in the woods. He was longer than he'd been but skinnier, and his eyes were a strange tawny yellow. His tail had a funny bump in it, as if it had been broken, and the white tip seemed to have faded. The freckle seemed to have faded from his nose also.
Sometimes when I pet Tiger kitty, he doesn't seem to know who I am and hisses and claws at me-if I'm not quick, Tiger kitty will scratch at my hand. But a few seconds later Tiger kitty recognizes me, and purrs and rubs hard against my ankles.
Especially when he's hungry, Tiger kitty purrs and rubs against my ankles.
Tiger kitty sleeps with me like always. Though in his sleep Tiger kitty sometimes grows and twitches, and at such time I am afraid he might scratch me if I woke him.
I love Tiger kitty!-but there is a secret between us no one else knows.
If you guess out secret, don't say it out loud. Tiger kitty can scratch. |
