You’ve Come A Long Way, Boys!

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 Sue’s 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!

  1. Tiger must have been put out indeed, but he saw the sense in getting on with the new boy. πŸ™‚
    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.

  2. 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 πŸ™‚
