Pet personality / Story of adoption / Why is your pet special?
Tigger is a house cat and rarely goes outside on the deck or in the yard. If his photo makes him look uninterested it is because he isn't interested in you - or us. He is your typical snobby short tempered, fussy and aloof cat.

Tigger is a pompous and finicky cat and "he wants what he wants when he wants it." He does not shower you with love or purrs, or sit on your lap. He does not come around to comfort you when you need an ear or a friend. He only recruits you with loud meows when he wants something like food, catnip treats, or a good brushing. And that can be at 2:00 am because he doesn't care about humans sleeping or eating patterns. He basically behaves as if he tolerates us and other humans.

And when strangers and guests come over to visit, Tigger disappears just like a ghost. If you look up the word introverted and unsociable in the dictionary there is a picture of Tigger. And that is what makes him so loving and adorable. he is predictable, consistent, and can be counted on to behave a certain way - no surprises. He is nothing like Tigger in the Winnie the Pooh stories, just the opposite, but we love him anyway, and sometimes because of that quiet "keep to yourself" personality.
