Not the same Species – A Story from Tiger Long Ago
Okay everyone, this is Tiger and I have something to say.
I have it pretty good here, indoors and out; the food, the sleeping arrangements, the toys, I can’t complain. The humans that live here are great too and I guess you could say that Sue is my favorite.
Even so, it’s not easy. Take today for example. I was outside hunting to bring her the catch of the day. I’m coiled and ready to spring, when suddenly she’s on the scene, running, clapping her hands, totally blowing my cover. What kind of hunter is she? And occasionally when I do catch something, she’s half-hearted in her appreciation (maybe even disgusted?) when I bring it to her.
But then I realize she can’t help it. She’s only human after all.
Not the same species

Oh, so sweet. Suzanne.
Thank you so much, Don. 🙂
Such a beautiful cat! ❤️😊
Thank you! 🙂
😻❤️ Meow!
How thoughtful of you to bring Sue gifts.
I thought so. ~ Tiger
They try their best to pay us back for food and care, but have no idea about our different sensibilities. Perhaps if they only ever caught rats?
Best wishes, Pete.
Catching a rat works, as long as they don’t bring it to me, dead or alive.
I’ve noticed a number of people sharing pics of their dogs or cats and the quote below is something like: “I retired early, have two servants who provide me with everything I need” and a call to reach out for help in planning your own secure financial future…
Sounds about right! 😸😺
Well put, kitty whisperer. I can’t believe you didn’t love her treats! My sister-in-law’s cat once brought her a mouse (I think dead) and laid it on her chest when she was still asleep. Imagine waking up to that!
Yikes! That’s bad all right! I once had a kitty who brought a live rat into the house at night, through our open bedroom window. To play with of course. I jumped up on the bed and screamed just like in the cartoons while Bob took care of it.
Oh Tiger! You are too funny!
😸😸
Haha, poor Tiger – you clearly don’t appreciate his efforts to hunt on your behalf!
He’ll never fully understand humans! 😺
I expect he’d say the same about us, that we’ll never fully understand cats!
