There was a short time in my life that I didn't have any pets, sense my husband at the time didn't want any. I had always had pets sense the age of 1 day, so it was hard for me. A home without a pet is just a house.

Well one day I went outside our apartment door and there was this kitten. I talked my husband into letting us keep him for a few weeks, on the promise that I'd find him a home. I even talked the landloard in to letting him stay, sense it was a no pet apartment.

The next few weeks we discovered that Tigger (yes I named him) was not your average cat. He was huge for a kitten, with a tude that went along with his size. The cat use to jump on the top of open doors and wait till you walked by and bounce on you.

Being a man, my husband thought this was one cool cat and he never pushed me into finding him a home. So to the vet we went, for shots etc. The Vet belived that Tigger was half bobcat, he says it happens some times and really belived that Tigger was one of those times. Like I said the cat was huge and mean, but I loved him.

Well $2000 later after surgey Tigger was ours for 19 years. Husband loved him and because of that one day of finding a kitten on the door step, I got to have more pets in my life. Another cat, a dog and then 2 more dogs, etc.

Tigger gave me a home again and taught my husband about the wonderful gifts of having pets in your life. We where all happy now.
