INTRODUCING TIGER! :) awww! :) Hi angel friends! :) Holly and i have some very special news to share with everyone :) Holly and i have a new addition to our home here in our downstairs apartment :) We're very happy and excited to share, that we have been taking care of a cat, since November 2020, who was an outside cat. We have now adopted Tiger, and have given her a forever home :) We're very heart happy :) We brought Tiger inside our home for the first time yesterday :) Tiger's a super cool cat, she's very sweet, and a nice friend :) my mom and dad have been mentioning, that maybe Holly and i would love to bring Tiger indoors :) We love the idea, and have been thinking of it in recent times and decided it's great and perfect time too :) my mom said, she deserves a forever home :) Tiger is loving her new home, and she's been here with us on our couch :) She's very comfortable, feels protected, and enjoyed exploring all around our downstairs apartment :) Tiger's having an amazing journey, since we met her last November :) She's very attached to us,and we're very attached to her :) She's become such a nice friend :) Tiger always ran over to Holly and i, while we are outside in our garden, and even was around our summer time gatherings, including recently, Stacy's birthday, when she jumped up onto Holly's lap, and my lap, and she had some cheese from the pizza (Cheese is her favorite), and she even had some vanilla ice cream from the cake :) it's so exciting, sharing the very special news, that we have decided to bring Tiger indoors :) in recent days, she's been sleeping right outside our front door, on our steps, and on a plastic chair with towel we put outside :) awww! :) We love Tiger, and we wanted to welcome her into our home and family :) We're very happy and excited to Share, Tiger's Story! :)


TIGER'S STORY! :) November 2020 :) late last year, it was a fall morning,and i was going outside to feed our nature friends :) i brought out pizza, breads, all kinds of goodies that morning,and i noticed behind the fence, was a cat, and it was walking behind the fence area, and there's a hole in the fence there, so i took some cheese, and some of the toppings from the pizza, bacon,ham, sausage, and i put it onto some autumn leaves,and i noticed, the cat began to eat it :) each morning, and then later on during the afternoons, i would put more cheese, and pizza toppings,and my mom said,"Chris, put some cat food out there too" :)Awww! :) Holly and i put a box, with old shirts, blankets inside of it, and eventually a large table, with a chair for protection by our backyard fence and from the weather :) she would go into the box and lay in there :) The cat eventually began to come over into our yard more, and Holly and i named the cat, Tiger :) She's a very friendly cat, and came almost each day to visit :) each morning while putting goodies outside for our nature friends, i also put foods outside for Tiger, and other cats too, and during the late afternoons :) She would hear our backdoor, and would come running over, knowing it's time for breakfast, or time for dinner :)



Tiger did very well, through winter time, it thankfully wasn't a severe winter, not much snow, and we put food, water outside often for her, and Tiger loved it :) she also use too go into our camper :) Spring time came, and Tiger was joining Holly and i in our garden adventures, just like garden friend (who's an indoor cat now too) :) Tiger always ran over to us, and even jumped up onto our laps :) When she heard our voices outside, she ran right over to where we were :) Holly and i would be indoors here, during the afternoons,or evenings, and we'd see Tiger outside our window, and she would be looking inside our window, and even layed down outside our window :) aww! :) When Tiger was in our backyard, during BBQ cookouts, gatherings,my mom would say, "That's Tiger, Chris and Holly's cat" :) Awww! :) Tiger began to go into our front yard more, crossing the road, and was getting bullied by a few other outdoors cats, and it worried us very much. we believe it may have been hard for her to sleep outside, she sometimes went under the snowball bush.she's such a sweet cat. :)



We decided it's time, to give Tiger a forever home :) she's already forever in our hearts, and we are so very happy to welcome her into our family :) Tiger's enjoying being indoors, and loves her new home, yesterday during late morning, she was jumping right up onto our couch, and she's just so very comfortable, she's a cool cat :) We also made a cool little fleece blanket/bed area for her :) We have a tray for food, water, and are so happy that Tiger is with us :) i have some nice pictures of Tiger to share with everyone :) She's adapting very well, to her now forever home :) she curls right up in her bed, and also on the couch here :) she's very relaxed, and feels very comfortable :) she's been getting good sleep, which is very healthy for her :) We'll definitely buy a few toys online for her :) We're animal lovers, we love pets, cats, dogs, birds :) they're a big part of our lives :) We love Tiger, and will share all about her adventures with us, throughout the months, and seasons :) i was telling Holly, "since Tiger is with us indoors now, we'll get her some cool treats, for halloween" :) Aww! :) in the pictures i share in my journal today, you'll be able to see the cool close bond we've made with Tiger :) She's a very special part of our family now :) Welcome Home Tiger! :)

Hi Chris, aww that's so cool that you adopted Tiger and gave her a forever home, she looks quite comfortable with you and Holly, ;-) Will you get a litter box or continue to let her out daily? Don't forget to take her to the vet to get checked out just in case!
Your garden looks amazing as always and those green beans look yummy
That sunflower looks to be at least 10 feet, lol
Have a great day and night and be careful in this heat!!!
Hugs, Jeannie

Hi Chris and Holly. So great that Tiger has been added to your family. She is so cute.

That sunflower is so huge!! It is really pretty.

Have a good afternoon. Watch the heat. We are under a heat advisory abd also a severe thunderstorm watch. We are staying in the house. We are going to grill hotdogs for dinner tonite so we don't heat up the house.

You and Holly stay safe as well. Just stay indoors and enjoy playing with Tiger.

Hugs
