Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Posted on October 14, 2023 by Susanne Swanson
Seven years ago we brought Benji home as a companion for Tiger;
Tiger was skeptical to say the least,

and demanded the following be put in writing:
“Sue has confirmed that I shall retain #1 Feline status which means that Benji must needs be #2. Entitlements and responsibilities below:
Tiger #1 – Entitlements
Exclusive rights to sleep on the big bed upstairs, unless permission granted.
Exclusive rights to Sueβs office (includes blogging rights with picture,) unless permission granted.
In and out privileges at will.
Full submission from #2 in all things, all matters and all disputes.
Benji #2 – Responsibilities
In and out privileges at will.
Submission to #1 in all things, all matters and all disputes.”
The rules are continually tested and enforcement challenging,


but most of the time we have compliance and peaceful coexistence.

Happy Saturday from the boys!

Tiger must have been put out indeed, but he saw the sense in getting on with the new boy. π
Best wishes, Pete.
Funny how we thought he wanted a companion. If he could have talked, he might have told us differently! But we’re so glad we got Benji.
So cute! We love Benji and Tiger too!

Best of friends…as longs rules are followed!
Yes, indeed! Tiger runs a tight ship! πΈπΈ
Happy Saturday! Nice to see you two cuties. XO
Thank you!! π»π»
Haha, poor Tiger, he must have had his feline nose put a little out of joint! But they seem to manage to get along most of the time π
They’re quite different from each other in age and temperament but have finally worked it out. π»π»
