Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life

“Thanks, Tiger.”
“Sure, Sue. For what?”

“For being so accommodating these past few months. I’ve had to spend so much time with Benji (understandably so) I feel like I’ve neglected you.”
“No problem, Sue. He always was high maintenance. Even before his mishap.”
“I suppose. But I appreciate you giving him the space he needs while he’s healing. And not taking advantage of his disability.”
“Disability? He’s still faster than me!”

“Well yes, he’s still Benji, isn’t he? And that’s a good thing. Anyway, I want to make it up to you. What’ll it be, extra snacks? More time on the bed?”
“Both would be great, Sue. But honestly, I’m easy to please. I’m just happy to live here with you.”

“Aw, thanks, Tiger. You’re the best. By the way, would you keep an eye on the boy when you’re outside? He still has the inclination to escape.”
“Will do. He won’t get away while I’m around. I’ve still got all four, if you know what I mean.”

“Thanks, Tiger. I appreciate it.”

P.S. In case you missed it: Here’s the story of Benji from earlier this year, when he became a tri-pawed. https://catsandtrailsandgardentales.com/2024/06/07/time-to-tell-you-about-benji/
Tiger is such a sweetie! I’m glad he’s being so understanding and helpful π»
Thanks, Sarah. He truly is a sweet big brother to Benji, A gentle giant. π
Tiger is such a beautiful cat! I want to hug him. β€οΈπ
He’s a handsome boy for sure! Thank you!

Good, Tiger.
πΊπΈ
Aww, Tiger is so chill! He probably doesn’t realize Benji’s disability. β€οΈπΎ
He’s our wise senior kitty, Mr. Mellow. Hasn’t really changed the dynamic between them. And Benji is still faster! πΈπΌ
You are such a good brother Tiger.
Thank you. I do my best.

Tiger has such mature dignity. I always enjoy the way he stays aloof from Benji.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. He’s our wise, senior cat, above the fray. π
Be sure to pet Tiger for me. And Benji too!
Will do! πΈπΈ
