When
Minet died in August 1999, Tiger was heartbroken and refused to eat for a couple
of days. He kept searching for his brother. Minet had always been "the
boss" and Tiger was at a loss without him. Fortunately, he got over it
after a while and took over leadership.
Tiger is a people lover, but he is especially fond of Ronald.When Ronald is at home, Tiger sits close to him and nibbles his ear. He always checks out Ronald's whereabouts and isn't content until he can lay upside down on Ronald's lap, purring loudly.
Tiger
and his buddy.
Tiger is the horde-leader and decides what is acceptable and what is not. He checks out every newcomer.
He
is very friendly though and we have never seen him act aggressively towards
new cats, especially not kittens. A true cat-manager!
Even though Tiger is of age, he is very playful and loves to chase around a toy mouse. He is also very fond of tinfoil; try to unwrap a candy bar and you will know what I mean. He does not care about the candy, but the wrapper is another thing altogether....

when he is relaxed.
Thawing
meat in the microwave is a treat, since you get to lick the fingers afterwards.
Tiger loves computers, just like his boss. And those laptop bags are exactly cat-sized.
As
mentioned on the introduction page, Tiger is our oldest cat.
He and his brother
Minet came to live with us in the spring of 1995. Laura had brought them home
as a present for Ronald, who was working abroad at that time. They were meant
to be a surprise, but the first time Ronald called home, the noise in the background
(loud mewing and crashing sounds) gave the kits away. Tiger and Minet were very
attached to each other.
