Day 309 CJSM-book IV



Day 309

 

 

Tiger “running” on the dining room door---

watch that belly swing

 

 

We had a fabulous cat name of Tiger; he really lived up to his namesake; thought he was human!? Part of the family, no doubt.

When we played ball, he came out in the yard and joined right in, chasing the ball and laying in the outfield waiting for a pop fly.

At the pond in winter, when it froze into a skating “rink” and we traipsed down to the “arena” for exercise fun and games, ole Tiger-cat joined right in the excitement (sans skates). Hmm!

One day a friend came by to visit and took my chair by the fireplace. Whenever I vacated that comfortable seat, Tiger pounced on the opportunity to conscript it for his own leisure. The whole time Jim sat there talking, Tiger sat “patiently” waiting for his chair to be vacated. When Jim finally leaned forward---zip…Tiger jumped up behind him wiggling him out of the seat! Wow!

When we let him go outside, he would come to the dining room patio door and “run” back and forth across the screen announcing that he wanted to be let in. That habit soon ended.

I have certain “rules” which I apply in situations in life. One is: Children and animals behave!

 

 Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Feline!” Memories!
