Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Posted on June 13, 2021 by Susanne Swanson
This is Tiger, who despite the name, is a mellow fellow.
This is Benji – a sweet boy and lots of fun but not mellow at all – perhaps you can tell by the eyes.
One morning Tiger dropped by my office for a visit and afterwards guarded the door.
Until Benji came long.
“Move over buster that’s my spot,” he said while Tiger looked to me for help.
“Tiger was here first, Benji,” I said, knowing it was futile.
Some things never change.

They really seem to have a “love / hate” relationship!
They get along well most of the time but they are jealous of each other for sure! And Benji always wins!
Tiger has the cutest face! But then, so does Benji. Figures the younger βsiblingβ always wins!π
Yep! I love them both, but Benji can run circles around his big brother! πΊπΈ
Young blood triumphs over the old guy. Nature’s law! π
Best wishes, Pete.
Ain’t it the truth! π
I’ve noticed that even among our harmonious sibling cats from the same litter, when one decides he or she wants a certain spot, any cat who is in that spot will be slapped at and often, routed out of the place. I try to intervene to little avail.
We had Tiger a few years before we got Benji.. You’d think Tiger would claim his senior status but he’s timid and Benji took over.. They have to work it out themselves I think. πΈπΈ
Hilarious, Susanne! They act a bit like my two dogs! Brodie is 52 pounds, but Aero at almost 11 yrs, and a wee 13 pounds, is in charge!
Thanks Terri!! Benji’s like the annoying little brother to Tiger, bold and scrappy, though he’s a lightweight too!!
What happened to Benjiβs ear?
He’s a rescue cat and it was ‘tipped’ when we got him. That usually means a feral cat has been neutered then released. We got him from Seattle Humane and they don’t do that so I’ll never quite know the whole story.
Understand. Heβs a cutie, though! Both of them are.
So cutest photo ππ so gorgeous πΉπ
Thanks so much! I love both of them!
I also so much like them ππthank you also π
They certainly have the hierarchy worked out between the two of them!
Yes they do! The little scrappy guy wins every time!
At least they have settled the issue.
