Tigers New Game
I went to Wall-Mart yesterday and bought a laser mouse. It has become a new game with Tiger and me. I press the button on the mouse and red dot comes out and Tiger chases it. He gets frustrated at times because the laser goes places he can’t and disappears when I get tired of the game. It does make for funny body movements on Tiger and he concentrated then I thought he would be. He will stop and look for the dot and move only his head looking for it till he figures out where it is and where he thinks it is going. He really gets confused when the dot goes under the door or in back of things that he can’t fit under. I have put the mouse down in fount of him and he has no interested in the thing because it doesn’t move or isn’t soft where in can get his claws into it. He really gets going when I have the dot climb up on his climbing tree and growls when the dot disappears into the ceiling. He will set there for a while like he is waiting for it to come back out to play with him.

Tiger geta new BIG toy!
Tiger gets a new BIG Toy
Knowing Tiger loves to climb Friday of last week we got him a three platform climbing post. It goes from the floor to the ceiling. It was still in the box when Saima got here on Saturday afternoon, so she put it together and put it up. She put it by the door to the back at first. I moved the toy I made Tiger a while ago with a bell in it from the back downstairs to the tree, to give him something to bat around. Well that last the rest of the day only. Tiger loved the climbing the tree and batting the toy around but he also like chewing on the beads on m drapes and almost knocked down Loon pictures I have on the that wall.
The next morning I decided to move the tree. I got it down alright but needed Emma’s help to get it to stay up and straight. It worked better there but Bruce removed the mirror (to save it from Tiger) and moved it over a little to save the pictures on the wall .
Emma and Tiger get along well but Tiger thinks she tastes real sweet because he nipped her a bit. Yum yum!!
But they made up and all is well.
Tiger Loves the tree and uses it a lot I had hopes it would keep him off my counters but oh well, I will get over it. I put his other toys on the tree but he gets up there and knocks them down and carries them away. He does use it a as a scratching post though. Oh yes he also sleeps on the top platform.

Tiger –The Thief
Tiger –The Thief
I was cleaning the living room yesterday and went to dust off the fireplace mantel and all the little animals we gone. There should a panda bear, and a white rabbit and a brown rabbit. They were hanging in to the canoe with their front legs, on a small canoe from the Grand Cannon trip. I looked all around the fireplace and living room and no animals.
I couldn’t find the animals.
I went downstairs later to put wash in the dryer and there was Tiger batting around something hard I looked and there was a white rabbit, how it didn’t break I don’t know. I went to pick it up and Tiger tried to bite me.
Later in the day I was watering my hair plant, the one Tiger has been tiring hard to kill, there in the pot was a small brown object. Tiger jumped up on the stand holding the plant and tried to grab the rabbit. I wasn’t ready and he did grab the rabbit and took off with it. I followed him until he went under the tub with it. I figured I wouldn’t see that rabbit again.
A few hours later Tiger jumped up on my lap with the Panda bear in his claws, I tried to take the bear but Tiger wasn’t giving it up! He jumped down with the bear and ran under the glider rocker in the living room. I got on my knees and looked under the foot rest part of the rocker and there was the brown rabbit and the panda bear. None for the trips across the house they took. I put them back on the canoe and just hope that Tiger leaves them there.

Tiger and Bronson

Bronson and Tiger- GRR
Darin’s dog came to stay with us for a few hours on Sunday. Tiger is fearful of Bronson and went into hiding when Bronson first got here but Emma found him in the wood room. Later after the girls and Darin, Saima and Grandpa left for the basketball tournament in Brainerd, Tiger was under one of a dining room chair and Bronson came close. Tiger puffs his fur up and growl and spits at Bronson. Bronson back off. Now Bronson is about 3 times larger then Tiger so that took a lot for that little kitten to do.
Later I was taking Bronson and Tiger out for walk on the back lake and Tiger scooted out the door too. Everything went fine till on the way back Bronson was in the lead and Tiger was by a big Oak tree he went right up the trunk like it was easy if it was flat instead wood. He went right up to the third big branch and set there for a few minutes and then went higher when Bronson stood at the foot of the tree backing and climbing on the tree trunk.
Tiger stayed up that tree for about 2 hours. He tried a few time to get down but couldn’t figure it out. I left him alone for a half hour and went back out on the deck and looked he and managed to come down on branch . I went back out a half hour or so later and he was down and branch. Another half hour and he was on the first branch. It still was far off the ground. I went out on the back patio and talked to him and encouraged to keep trying. He started down and keep trying till he was at last on the trunk and slowly working his way to the ground. He got down and ran right to me. I took him right in house and put him in laundry room where Bronson couldn’t get him. Then put Bronson on the deck and let Tiger out.

Tiger Is up a tree AGAIN!!
Wednesday I was getting ready to go to Brainerd to do food shopping. I put both Toffee and Tiger outside. I called Toffee in and didn’t see Tiger. I called and called but no Tiger. I thought oh well he will come back. I put Toffee in the wood room and finish getting ready. I went to patio door and called Tiger again and that when I saw him up in the tree. It was the tree next to the one he was in before but much high up in it. He looked at me like he was saying, “Now what do I do?” Well guess what Bruce was at work, I didn’t trust myself to get on the ladder and not fall off and I think he was up to high to make that possible anyway. I went over to the tree and called him and told him to come back down the tree. His answer was to turn around and face me with his butt!! I told him” Listen Little Boy I am trying to help”. He didn’t move!
I went into the house and grabbed by camera and took some picture of him in the tree. I kept talking to him while I took pictures. He did turn around and look at me but didn’t move. The dogs next door barking and the foxes screening didn’t help Tiger to come down. I took my camera back and decided well I will try once more then he will have stay up there while I am gone. It was about +13 with a little wind, clear sky and sun was out, so he would be alright.
I went back out by the tree and talked to him and encouraged him to come back down the tree. He tried a few times but got his body carved around a branch sticky out from the trunk and went back up. But he kept trying to get down. It took in about four tries then was able to get his whole body going the right way around the branch. He dug in his claws and hung on. About that time I wish I hadn’t just clipped his fount paws the night before. Slowly he was making progress down the tree. He moved on a straight part and I thought he was going to fall but at the last moment his claws dig in enough. A few feet later he was able to jump the rest of the way down. He came right to me and started purring. I took him into the house and gave him a treat and told him behave while I am gone and tease Toffee to much. He looked up at me like says, “Oh ya like she doesn’t deserve it.”

Tiger is lonely!
We went to Glyndon this weekend. We left Tiger alone in the house. He has always been okay with this or maybe I just thought so. When we got home on Sunday about 2:00pm, Tiger was ready to go outside for an awhile. When I let him back in it was like letting in a cat on pure sugar. He was all over the place and if you were unfortunate enough to pass within his paw reach you got scratched. I tired holding him a cuddling with him he was having none of it. So I kind of left him alone and went into my sewing room to watch the Olympics, or to other people a nap.
When I got up I went into the kitchen and Tiger was on the table using my hair plant as a paw support to reach the string for the ceiling fan. From the looks of the plant he had did that a lot this weekend. The entire little fairy figurines collection was out of the plant and the plant looked really droopy. I was scared he would end up pushing the whole thing on the floor so I moved it to the stand by the door and put a basket of crocheted flowers in the middle table. I went about making supper. Tiger went about destroying the basket of flowers, the table runner all ended up on the floor. He had a ball taking the flowers and batting them one at a time all over the living room, entryway and even all the way to our bedroom. This took him all the time while I made supper and ate. When I stood at the sink doing dishes I notice his handy work. He stood in the middle of the empty table and tried to reach the fan coed. Unfortunately for Tiger Bruce was upstairs and fixed him. He put the string way up and there was no way for Tiger to get it. I thought we were done with Tiger for the evening, he had other ideas. He followed me to my sewing room and jumped up on my chair and started chewing on my hand, scratching me and trying to drink out of my water. I would chase him out of the room and he would go right out in living room and knocked over dishes from counter, attacked Toffee as she slept on the rug and even going downstairs and jumping up and scratching Bruce. Bruce chased him upstairs and I put him outside to cool off and settle down or was that for me to settle down?
Continued-
Tiger had a few more tricks up for me that night. When I went to my sewing room to watch TV Tiger was in there too. He jumped up on the quilting table and knocked down my rotary cutter and tried to bat it around. Lucky for him the blade was back in the case or he would have got a cut on his paw. This was the last straw and I put Tiger outside and didn’t plan on letting g him back in for awhile. I sat down in chair and next thing I knew Tiger was on top of me, purring like crazy and taking a nap with me. He is so cute a cuddly when he is asleep. Kind of like a two year old child. Tiger slept in our room that night and there was no problems. I think he just wanted to be close to us.

Tiger and the Woodpicker

Tiger and the Woodpecker
Yesterday I was out on the back deck and as I went in Tiger ran out. I got busy as we all do and forgot him out their. I was doing something close to the big windows in the living and hear a growl. I looked out there was Tiger on the rail of the deck and in the tree that almost hangs over, a big Red headed Woodpecker. This bird came often to the bird feeder on our deck. Tiger is growling at the Woodpecker all puffed up and reaching out with is front claws. I am not sure with of the three of us were more stated Tiger, the Woodpecker or me! I was scared that Tiger would take a header off the deck, or the woodpecker would realize he could peck that little rascal cat on the head or just pick him up with those sharp big claws. The Woodpecker turned and flew off and I think Tiger wanted to fly off after him but he is after all a kitten not a bird even if he is confused, gravity laws are not. My camera was in my sewing closet and I didn’t get a picture again. I do have a picture of the woodpecker from last year.
