We've taken on a new cat - Tigger

[felton]

I happened to glance into the office/computer room, while exiting the master bedroom when I saw Master Tigger and Master Shadow Ram perched at the observation station. A slow scan from left to right, heads in unison was underway. I see no tail fwapping or hear a natter, so it must be a short enjoy the outside of our domain (it my domain you silly slave master Tigger would utter if he had heard me) scan just because it's pleasant to do right now. (I think it's similar to a coffee break for slaves that my masters do from time to time)


A brisk wind blowing leaves around the yard is occasion to just stop and watch the world go by.

"It's a nice day, eh Shadow?" Tigger murmers...

"It is indeed." he replies

"psssssssst... secondary slave is behind us.......watching" Tigger remarks

"He's not coming over so he's going to leave us alone. Good" Shadows mentions....


I leave them to their break. (such hard workers they are)

 

[felton]

"You're trying to poison me!" master Tigger muttered

This is the normal food you get when you eat master DW said.

"How often do I have to tell you that it's bad food." Tigger exclaimed.

This food is special. The evil vet ...

"DO NOT MENTION THAT PERSON TO ME!"

The doctor has you eat this kind of food to help with your kidney problem.

"What part of "I want good food" don't you understand?"

and he walked away. Disgusted methinks.

a short time later, Master Tigger was trying to decide how he wanted to hold DW hostage. Curled up on her lap or stretched out on her legs.

Having problems master?

"Oh bother. Sit down here."

Yes master. (So I sit down)

"Ah.. this works for me." Tigger sighed....

I had decided to lay down across the work station and master Tigger decided to curl on on my calves. He went to work.

Is that snoring? DW giggled....

--------insert a hour and half--------

DW remarks: He seems to like you more then me today. I must be in the doghouse ....

I reply: Sure seems that way. My legs are getting tired though. I have been reading with master Tigger and he's been hard at work.

"You should have my work ethic." Tigger says loftily.

Not everyone in the world is like you master.

"There are good workers, excellent workers and than master workers." Tigger deigned to say.

Yes master. You've often told me how I am lacking in that respect.

Master Tigger decided to take a break so he got up. Stretched to a length only masters are capable of (3 times their normal length seems to be the right figure) and walked over to the book I was reading.

He stood on the book.

"What'cha reading slave?" he asked.

It's not about masters master.

"It should be."

and he promptly turned around and stuck his tail in my face.

"You can check out the tail mail slave." (he giggled at the pun)

I'm sorry master. I don't read tail male. I'm not trained.

"You should be. All masters check out the mail to smell what's new."

I'm sorry. I don't.

"I think you need some accupuncture for you well being." and he proceeded to apply the ancient art.

oh... oh.... I get your point. Could you please stop?

"If you insist."

and he launched himself off the bed (and left some small punctures as he left)

Thank you, master.

"You're welcome.... as he disappeared down the hall.

 

[felton]

I have been remiss in posting the Chronicles of Tigger as I have been home for the last week. As is my wont, I take time off work just prior to Christmas to prepare and practice choir work. I have been overloaded with data concerning my master, but I shall attempt to describe.

Master Tigger walked out of the watering station, after having had DW turn on the water. She was looking at him and...

DW: I have turned on the water 3 times for you Tigger. You drank only small amounts.

Tigger winked at me (he really did wink at me) and said "I really do not have to tell you why I want something. You're a slave and must follow my bidding."

It must be a test DW muttered.

"No it is not a test. I tasted the water. I didn't like the temperature or the taste so I left."

I think I detected a smirk, but I find it difficult to descern what my master means unless he makes really big face movements (or he's up close and personal) as I tower over him by at least 5 feet.

"I only have 4 feet slave. You're not very observant or you easitly forget simple things. I am not like Charlie"

Uh.. yes master.

A short while later:

I was going out into the garage when master Tigger zoomed past me. He went so fast I didn't see him enter forbidden territory.

"WWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe I get to explore here." he cried out (he ignored the very cold concret floor)

Uh.. master. You know that there are dangerous chemicals and such out here. You don't kow these dangers.

"It matters not to me. I get to explore! ahhh such new and interesting things. So many smells.... (I will ignore the cold for now. It's too much fun right now)

I swooped and scooped my master. Such purring I've not heard in awhile.

"You let me investigate for a time, so I will not get upset at you."

Yes master.

I took him inside and DW remarked.... He looks pleased. Sounds like it also. Cold feet master? she remarked.

"Pet me slave." he purred

Two slaves petting..........

Looking around the kitchen, Master Tigger was in a very good mood. I passed him to his primary slave.

"Thank you slave."

I went to the computer room to check email and such.

You're going to be in a good mood.....

I heard that statement from DW. She was in the spare bedroom, which she uses to store fabric and knitting supplies. (It's another forbidden room for masters)

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee So much so many new smells.... You let me in to explore slave."

I could tell he was in a very special place. The garage and the extra bedroom, all in one day.

While reading email, master Charlie tapped me on the shoulder. Yes master?

"Hold still. I'm going to get on your lap." he ordered

and he walked over my shoulder and jumped down to my lap.

"Pet me."

and he started holding me hostage and working at the same time. (masters are skilled in these matters)

Charlie cat stretched (he extended at least 2 times his normal length - a feat I have been unable to ascertain as to how he accomplishes this. I'm a old and stupid slave)
and he flexed his claws.

Master. I am not prepared for accupuncture treatments.

"Your point is?" he asked. "Never mind. You don't have any fine pointed claws."

Good point I said.

and he launched himself to the doorway, leaving me broken and bleeding sitting in a chair beside the masters observation station.

"You lie slave." I heard Charlie exclaim from down the hallway. "I don't smell any blood from here."

You are correct master. I was telling you fans about your jump.

"As well you should."
------------insert time-------------------------
Have you become a dog? (I heard this statement from down the hall

"Why are you so insulting?" he asked

You know that cold white stuff is outside so don't try.

"I'm angry with you." I heard him say.

and he came into the bedroom.

"She's insulting."

and found a throat cough drop I had left on the bed, while I was changing into indoor cold weather pants (known as sweat pants to most folks) that master Tigger found to his liking as he could use me as a work station and keep warmer at the same time.

His kitten came out and started batting it around.

----------insert many kitten antics---------------

Thank you for the good acrobatics you just performed Master Tigger.

"You're welcome"



-------------insert several hours------------------

I was taking a break from working on choir chores by watching some TV. Laying on the bed...

Master Tigger sauntered in and became velco cat once again, as his primary slave was watching with me. He went to her lap, but found that she had a laptop computer there.

"Hey.. move that thing. I want to work on your lap." Tigger ordered

and he tried to push the laptop out of the way.

DW: Please don't do that. If it falls on the floor it will be expensive to repair.

"Move this thing."

DW: I'm starting........

but she was talking to empty air as he came over to me. He circled around on my legs to find the best spot.

DW: Examined and found wanting I see.

but she was talking to a master who had started working.

 

[babywukong]

Ah more tales of Tigger!

 

[felton]

"WHAT are you doing there!!!!!!!!" master Tigger exclaimed

(Tigger was talking to Charlie Cat)

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"I am getting impatient with your lack of a response, you young whippersnapper!!!"

I could tell he was not happy with Charlie as I could see his fore claws tapping the top of the masters work station, not unlike a impatient slave waiting on another slave or dog (placed in this thread as to placate my master since they ignore these little asides)

tap tap tap tap one claw after the other, in sequence.

"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.............."

whereupon I picked up my master and started petting him and giving him attention. His primary slave was looking somewhat uncomforable since DW did allow Charlie to stretch full length on her legs so he could work on a warm surface. My masters do this often since the outside temperatures are below zero right now. It is a cold winter.

"Will you put me down please." Tigger almost snarled.

Yes master. You did, however, leave your slave and did not tell anyone that you were coming back. Charlie did look around for you before he started work.

"Without regard to that. I am still the NUMBER ONE MASTER here!"

Yes master. Would you like some food or water? (hoping to get his mind off the offending working master)

"Well.... maybe some food."

of which he only looked at the food.

"Silly slave. I know what you were doing."

Yes master. Water?

"Yes?"

uh... was that a yes for water or a yes to answer the question or a yes to placate me (I was not getting angry) or a yes to tell me you heard the question?

and he walked away. Tail high

"He is such a silly slave now and again. I like playing games with him."

and I walked into the bedroom and saw Tigger about to grab Charlie by the neck. Charlie stood up. Stretched to about 3 times his normal length and yawned.

"I am not happy with anyone right now." Tigger snarled

Whereupon DW and I both started petting and paying attention. It took awhile to calm him down.

 

[felton]

"Where have you been?" Master Tigger asked

We went to a wedding master.

"I don't know that I care about what you slaves do, except where I'm left alone for so long. I have not been given proper attention." Tigger announced regally.

Yes master, but the people we were with like cats......

"WHAT! Masters.... silly slave. NOT cats."

So we picked him up and gave him attention.

"Ah... that's better. Oh.. oh... just a little to the left. There...."

DW continued the scritch....

I turned on the TV and master Tigger decided that my legs were warmer than DW and he settled down to work on me.

I heard some very faint snores....

 

[felton]

I awoke with a certain master sitting on my chest. He was looking in my face from close range.

"Hey... you were sleeping. I want to talk." Tigger said.

I have to work tonight. I have the night shift.

"and that affects me how?" he said.

Well... it makes the money that I have to earn so that you have a...

"Domain. You were about to say domain. I am master of all I survey." Tigger said gently.

Yes master. I still have to get plenty of sleep because I can't sleep at work.

"When I go to work it's right here silly slave."

Yes master. I have to go many miles away and work behind the doors of another building. Why did you wake me up?

"I wanted some attention. My primary slave has gone and I want attention."

I looked at the clock and saw I had to get more sleep, but knew I had to give Tigger attention.

"ah...... that's the spot." Tigger purred

I continued to scritch and pet.

"That's enough slave. I must get to work."

so I went to sleep and Tigger went to work. (I wish I had the work ethic he did, but I'm just a secondary slave_

 

[felton]

"Slave!" Tigger remarked

Yes master.

"Where is my primary slave?"

I don't know master. She may be shopping for food, cat litter or any number of things. She could be having some voice lessons also.

"She does sing, but not at as good as a master. I'll grant you that. You, on the other hand just make noise that should be left in behind sound proof doors." (heheh I wonder if I'll get a response from that. He's not bad either, but I'll never tell him)

It's something to do master. I am going to start playing that baritone horn over there in the corner.

"Not while I'm around." he muttered.

He stood up.... (he was like a library lion on the box that was on top of a computer printer that I was given to check out/repair and give to needy people who could not afford such.)

Tigger stretched to 3 times his normal length (how do they do that? I'm mystified by this type act) and sat looking down at me.

"Thank you for putting this box here. It helps me survey my domain AND look out the window for intruder cat."

You're welcome master.

but I was talking to a statue. He had gone into stasis mode. Sitting like the ancient god of Egypt, Bastet

 

[felton]

DW related the following to me when I awoke this afternoon, prior to going to work.

"Slave!" Tigger said

Yes master? DW responded.

"I have need of being entertained. I am also in a helper master mode. This means that I shall help you with what your doing and I get to be ...................."

Tigger left that statement like a dangling participle.

Master Tigger would pounce or push the little pieces of papter that DW left on the fabric cutting table. (DW was sewing and cutting fabric in the outlines of the pattern... a art that I could barely grasp as something related to sewing but incomprehensible to those of use not skilled in the sewing arts. She will wave her magic hands and other sundry items related to the craft and garments appear. I'm baffled)

"Ah... such a nice piece there...." as he smacked it with a paw

DW: Thank you for that assistance.

"Here. Let me get my tail in of the way"

DW: I'm glad you're not a dog and wagging that tail.

"WHAT! Oh... you said you were glad I am NOT a dog."

DW: uh huh Dog are helpful also. Wagging the tail can send items to the next room.

"That's a nice color that should go with that color." as he pushed the fabric to the side of the cutting table.

DW: Thank you master

"Im hungry"

Yes master. (DW gets the food out and places it in front of him.

"That's not what I wanted. I want something else. Never mind."

and he walked away.

---------Repeat any of the above sequences many times.-----------

I awaken, put on my bathrobe and go into the kitchen to make some oatmeal.

"AH... You're taking a break from working I see. You make too much noise when you work. Did you know that?" Tigger said

Yes master. I snore and have a breathing machine and they are both loud.

"Silly slave should work quietly."

Yes master.

I placed the oatmeal on the table and went to get coffee.

"Let me taste this goo." Tigger said

"Ugh... that's hot and it's really goo"

You know you don't like oatmeal.

"That bird does, so I figured I might."

That's Sunshine and I weaned her with oatmeal. She loves the stuff.

"Yeah... she tries to ooze through the cage bars when she can get some."

Do you want me to clean off your foot?

"No. You can't clean me properly. I'll do it."

(I glad he hadn't gone to the kitty box prior to tasting my oatmeal)

I finish breakfast and get dressed.....

and Tigger goes back to help DW.

I return to the sewing table and open a drawer....

P O U N C E........ and a wayward piece of fabric is caught as I open the drawer.

Thank you for catching that fabric. We never would have

I went to the computer room/office to check email.

Tigger sauntered in and got up on the observation station. I didn't know this as I don't very good hearing when masters are in stealth mode.

Reading a email, Tigger decided to stand on the keyboard and ask me a question.

"What'cha doing slave?" front feet on the keyboard, back feet on the desk.

and the screen was filling up with "K, L, R, E and D"

"That's a nice expression on your face, slave." Tigger remarked

Thank you for dong such a fine job of editing this email.

"You're welcome."

 

[felton]

"M E O LLLLL W" Tigger spoke to me as I turned the corner into the hallway. He was standing with his nose in the corner of the door, as if he had been put into TIME OUT for being un masterful.

"MEOW!" he said again.

Yes master?

"What part of MEOW don't you understand?" Tigger stated.

I'm sorry. I am not going to let you into that room unescorted.

"My primary slave lets me in. I like exploring there. So many different smells, toys and such to figure out the use of."

I will not.

"M E W LLLLLLO W" he screamed.

DW called from the kitchen: He wants in the room doesn't he.

Yes... and I'm letting him in.

I picked him up and started petting him. (maybe I'll get his mind off the forbidden room)

and I walked into the kitchen.

"Put me down slave. I'll get primary slave to let me in." he muttered

Yes master.

DW said: I'll let you in later. I have food to prepare.

"FOOD? Did someone say food? Feed me."

Yes master.

"You do ok, now and than silly slave."

Thank you.

"but you didn't do good now. Go away."

Yes master.

---------------insert two trips to evil vet-----------------

First trip was Master Tigger and Charlie. Both masters enjoyed parts of the time at vet. Investigation new smells and slaves who gave them attention. Both Tigger and Charlie gave little trouble.

Second trip was Laptop and Shadow. Holding on with all four sets of claws, Shadow did NOT want to come out, but once out of his travel cage he investigated everything.

More slaves to give attention.

-----------end trip to evil ver--------

Master Tigger hissed at Charlie because he smelled like evil vet. (silly master smelled like evil vet but didn't hiss at himself)

 

[felton]

Fat tail, marmalade fur standing up, fangs being displayed, low growl..........

"I am going to rip out your throat!" Tigger muttered

Charlie laying foot of bed leaning on DW feet just ignored him. (I think he did but he may have been putting up a brave front to egg Tigger on)

DW was telling Tigger to settle down.

so I walked up to the masters work station and picked him up. I started petting and saying soothing things.....

but Tigger wanted nothing to do with it. He was angry and wanted to display his "Leader of the pack" (I hope Tigger doesn't read this or he'll accuse me of calling him a dog) attitude.

He jumped down. I started to pick him up again, but he went through the motions of try ing to bite me. (the last time he bite me I was in the hospital for 4 days with inflamed tissue of the hand..... IV antibiotics and pain killers) I backed off.

A short time later, Tigger had calmed down and didn't need to go to his "Time Out" room.
Charlie was "almost taunting" but decided not to when DW and I spoke to him.

"I didn't mean nothin' " Charlie said.

Uh huh... and that's why Tigger was so angry?

"Was he angry at me? I didn't notice."

So we left him at the end of the bed and went out to the kitchen to distract Tigger.

 

[felton]

Master Tigger was "lounging" in the hall, reading a copy of "Fang Shui" by Catfucius (with help from Michael Domis) Feng Shui for Felines, ISBN 0-88088-775-3 when I walked through the front door.

"Hello slave." he remarked

Greetings oh gracious master

"(Why is he buttering me up?) You may pet .................."

"YOU"VE BEEN WITH OTHER MASTERS!"

I was still 10 feet away and he smelled them on me. Our next door slave has 2 masters. (Hobbes and Abby)

"You should know by now that I can tell when you've been with other masters."

I didn't hide the fact I was going there, oh gracious master. He is taking a....

"That long toy you got out of the room?" he inquired

Yes master. I thought you gave me permission to take it away.

"I did. You know I donate old used toys to needy masters."

Does it mention something about that in the book? (I was trying to change topics to get out of the doghouse)

"I'm not sure you can comprehend the philosophy of this missive." he said

I'm sure it has pictures than?

"Maybe 5 or so that you could understand." he said regally

I'll lay on the bed and you can hold my legs down right now. (Many of our masters like to hold us down during the cold months. As I am of Yup'ik Eskimo extraction I seem to produce more body heat than primary slave)

"I "may" acquiesce to your suggestion when I'm done comtemplating the whichness of the why" he sighed......

(I know he's tempted by my offer. He just can't appear to be eager to use a suggestion by a slave since he didn't ask first)

It will............

and I saw that master was rolling his eyes into the back of his head.

I was talking to air again because Master Tigger was zoned out.

 

[felton]

"It is my deisre to have some FRESH water."

Yes master, I replied, as I turned on the water.

Master Charlie sauntered in and started looking at the water as it flowed down.

"I am thirsty as well." Charlie said haughily.

"Hey Tigger. Save some for me. I think you're taking too much."

(Master Tigger ignored this statement)

Charlie tapped Tigger ....

"You shall wait till I am done, young pup."

"Did he just call me a dog?" Charlie asked me

All I heard was garbled since he's drinking...

"I think he insulted me."

("I did, but I can get away with it because you're not Alpha, silly newcomer" Tigger thought)

"ah... that was good." Tigger stretched... but still prevented Charlie from drinking

"I'm dying of thirst here Tigger."

"Yes... you may well be but go drink out of the bowl."

Master Tigger allowed just enough room for Charlie to get his nose in, so he started drinking.

"Pushy young tabby you are." he mutterd

"lap lap lap lap lap lap lap lap lap" is all I heard from Charlie.

He's drinking Master Tigger.

"Ya think?" I heard Master Shadow Ram say from the toilet access point.

When I looked back Tigger was gone. (How did he do that? I hate it when they disappear so quickly)

("It's a secret silly slave..... " )Shadow Ram thought

What happened to.......

and I was looking at Shadow Ram drinking. Charlie had disappeared.

"Hey slave. I think I want a drink." Tigger said as he walked into the watering station.

Yes master, but you had a drink just seconds ago.

"That was than. This is now."

Tigger was looking down at Shadow drink.

("pppssssssstttttt we're playing games with this slave.")

Shadow finished drinking, and sat on the edge. Tigger was drinking....

and Charlie looked up at me from the edge of the sink.

("He's confused. This is so much fun and so easy") they all thought

He's done, I heard from the kitchen, DW told me.

Thank you for that, but uh....

Are they playing musical magic cat tricks again? DW had been taken avantage of these tricks as well. She is much faster than I at discovering the games masters play since I'm an old silly slave male. ( I was also ready for bed, since I'm working the night shift, so combine a slow brain, tired body and tired brain and I can be easily duped)

I crawled into bed.......

and Tigger watched me from the edge of the masters work station.

He pounced from 3 feet away. My foot had just been caught.

"Hah.... I have just caught the crawling creature. Shall I kill it and......"

No master. You should not kill it. I need it.

He slapped the creature.

"You live this time!"

and he pounced again. This time my knee was attacked.

Thank you master. Please stop hunting. I have to sleep.

but Master Tigger had assumed his working position. Curled into a tight marmalade ball.

So I went to sleep and Master Tigger went to work.

 

[felton]

the door opened......

and there they go. Shadow Ram is first around the corner, followed by a whisker of Charlie. They're pounding through the kitchen.......

(I heard the door open as DW called out about thirsty masters)

as I stepped out of the computer room/office I see master Tigger sitting in the middle of the hall.

A long stretch has just been terminated (he shrank by at least 4 feet and I'm still baffled how masters can stretch out so much) and Tigger stands up.

"ah... I enjoyed that. (I am now going to play with my subjects)"

Charlie and Shadow are neck and neck as they race around the corner and down the hall.

"DRAT! Tigger's going to.........." they both exclaimed

bi-locate to the sink. (Tigger had just demonstrated the master’s ability to transport him from one point in space/time to another within the blink of an eye)

"I am thirsty slave. Turn on the water!" he ordered

and so I did. I also noticed that Charlie was getting too close to Tigger, while he was drinking, and Shadow waited impatiently on the toilet.

"You're getting too close silly slave lover!" Tigger taunted

"ah... this water tastes better now." he continued to taunt

"I should teach you how to be a better......" Charlie tried to say

"Don't go there! You don't want me angry!" Tigger muttered

"yes.... most excellent alpha leader. I hear and obey."

"Good. Now let me finish quenching my thirst."

and 10 minutes later he did finish.

 

[felton]

It was Cold and blustry - not the type day that myl masters enjoyed, although some writers start their story in this fashion. I'm not of that ilk.

"And what do you call that opening, silly slave?" Tigger muttered.

Ok. How about: "It was a dark and ....."

"Don't go there. I'll be forced to hurt you." Tigger exclaimed

Than how should I present the opening oh literate master? I inquired.

"Starting with an amusing anticdote about meow would be excellent." Tigger purred

Full of glowing and complimentary adjectives as well?

"You're getting close, for a silly slave."

How about the race you and Shadow had a race to the heating vent that's right beside the computer battery backup that's so warm when it's so cold out?

"Did I mention that this should be expounded upon? No. I said nothing of the kind. (nothing that might indicate that any of my minions are better or faster than I) he thought.

How about how you like to lay on my legs to work and keep warm? I asked

"When I try to work, while laying on your legs you keep moving, thus interrupting my space of positive working habits."

You mean slee........

"Don't go there. I will not tolerate a silly slave who thinks all masters are actually sleeping when it happens to be heavy labor we're performing." Tigger said rather forcefully.

How about the time you fell.......

"ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! How many times do I have to tell you that I was demonstrating how agile we masters are by making it appear a master can fall off a workstation and land on his feet."

uh... do you have anything I should use to present your chronicles today?

"I was starting to study that book you have. The Art of War seems a bit long winded." Tigger said. Let me list what should be done.

1. Track your prey, as any normal master can do. Quietly
2. Pounce
3. Catch and do what is needed. (Sometimes that's play with the food, but I'm not going to tell you silly slave)
4. Present to slave to show how skilled we are.

"That's it. We don't into hundreds or thousands of words like that writer did."

(Sūn Zǐ Bīng Fǎ was succinct and to the point but Tigger won't believe that)

Yes master. I underst........

"Don't say you understand, because you don't." Tigger said.

Uh... yes. I agree

and Tigger walked off

 

[felton]

Master Tigger and Charlie Cat were taken to see the evil vet this morning. Inasmuch as I was getting off the night shift, I had to sleep, and missed the excitement.

"I WILL NOT GET IN THAT CAGE! I DON'T LIKE THAT CAGE! I WON'T" Tigger and Charlie screamed.

Charlie had to see the dentest, and Tigger had to be tested for his kidney disease.

DW came home, and I was informed when I awoke, that Tigger had to stay a couple of days. Evil Vet did NOT like the numbers on the test. The IV had been inserted and liquids were being given.

All slaves in the household went to visit this evening.

"I want attention from all you slaves. I want it now! Pet me!" Tigger muttered

so we all took turns and initially we all gave him attention. A purrs could be heard by a vet tech several feet away he wsa so loud.

"Ah.... just what I needed. That -----------> slave has abused me. Making my leg hurt and attaching that long leash thing. I want nothing to do with her."

She brought you different kinds of food, so she can't be bad.

"Well.... maybe she has some goodness in her."

I went to the cage where Charlie was hiding and started to talk to him. A moving lump under the blanket....

and a nose appeared...... than a eye...... a paw....... a leg.... both eyes.....and finally a head. I reached and started petting

.......and Charlie appeared.

"Ah... my slaves. Good slaves. Give me attention. (it was difficult to understand as Charlie had been given drugs)

This is your cat....This is your cat on drugs.............WHEEEEEEEEEEE

Have you been having a bad day Charlie?

"I don't want to talk about it. My mouth and teeth hurt.... I'm glad you're here. Take me home.

Let us give Tigger more attention. (I could hear Tigger hissing at Charlie because Tigger thinks Charlie is a evil cat not of his domain and he smells of evil vet)

"He's been in a bad mood when he can't see me." Charlie told me. "He was also EVIL CAT when they were getting me ready for whatever they did to me. I don't remember much after that needle." Charlie said.

Ok...

Master Tigger was held by all slaves and he tried to climb on the shoulder of all. We restrained him and kept his IV tube clear. Much attention till it was time to go home.

We put Charlie into his travel cage (that was fun)

"HEY! You're leaving me here to suffer at the hands of these evil people!"

Yes master. It's to help you.

and we left

 

[felton]

We went to see Master Tigger (who was imprisoned at the evil vet because needed close medical attention since his kidney disease was acting up) and we received many complaints.

"I don't like the accommodations here. They don't have running water here for me to drink. (He was getting IV fluids constantly and thus did not require drinking out of a sink)

"I heard that. Don't listen to this silly slave. He lies when it comes to what's good or bad." Tigger said. This place smells. The food is not good. They have the toilet facility RIGHT BESIDE ME. I have this leash that they won't let me chew out (IV line) They shaved both my front legs. Strange people come in, pick me up and jab me with needles. They insist on doing strange things to other masters and (shudder) dogs. I can't walk around and smell everything (like my slaves let me do when I saw them the other day) My slaves don't visit often enough. One of these strange slaves does give me attention now and then. She seems to know a little about the proper feeding and caring for masters. "

Is there anything else that's bad master Tigger? I asked.

"Go away. I will not discuss what happened to me. Jabbed with needles, unspeakable things forced down my throat.... ugh....... I hope it was all a bad dream." he muttered

The vet did good things to Master Tigger. His kidney function seems to have gotten better. (I was sleeping, getting ready for night shifts when he was brought home. I'll get report from DW and pass it on for you folks who read "The Tigger Chronicles") When Tigger got home he came into the bedroom, where I was sleeping, and decided that I was making too much noise.

"Hey slave! You need to work and not make so much noise. I want to work in peace AND QUIET!"

I was groggy... and must have said something he couldn't understand.

"Speak up. Too much racket from that machine. (he's talking about my CPAP machine)

I rolled over and went back to sleep (I only have a very vague memory of what happened.)

Tigger must have gotten disgusted and left.

DW was somewhat amused when Tigger and Charlie both decided to get into the bathtub.

"Why are you laughing at us silly slave person?" both asked

I was wondering why you wanted to take a bath like your slaves do? DW replied

"Oooooooohhhhhh that's an ugly thought" Tigger said

"We will not stoop to slave standards!" Charlie remarked.

Than.......

"Don't ask, slave." both said

(We think they both decided to drink from the faucet that was not completly closed and dripped)

["We're going to keep them guessing." both thought to themselves]

and both promptly left.

ZZZZooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What was that marmalade blur? Tigger was now running in flaky mode. Run run run run.
STOP. Look around zoom......... he disappeared.

I happened to be turning into the hallway when I espied:

Zoom..... down the hall..... right turn into masters watering station.....

S L I P.... SLIDE..... right rear skid

"Don't remember this slave. I meant to do this little act of athletic prowess." Tigger mutterd

Yes master. I've... what were we talking about?

(I think he forgot that the floor was not carpet, but that's only a guess on my part. I have to think what he tells me.)

"Turn on this water, slave." he commanded

Yes master.

a short while later we captured Tigger, under the guise of giving him attention. We now have to give him fluids via a needle inserted just beneath the skin (Subcutaneous Fluid Therapy is the official term) because his kidney disease has progressed. Three times as week, as well as twice a day drugs squirted into the back of his throat. He looks like Cujo the evil right after this treatment since he foams at the mouth.

"You slave get mean. I think I'll take a break and rest by the heat vent to unwind from this new and evil act you do."

Yes master. We have to give you the drugs....

"Don't talk to me. I'm becoming a Library Lion."

Yes master. (I looked in later and he was in the dark surveying his front yard domain so I left him in quiet)

“Trials and Tabulations” By Tigger

Many years ago, we masters brought Egypt out of the dark ages and saved them from famine. They than worshiped us as gods. We deserved all that which they gave. (Bast, being the first to acknowledge the accolade was followed quickly by Bastet and they protected other masters and the female slaves). We masters have never forgotten, although slaves seem to need reminding from time to time.

My patience has come close to breaking these last few days. My primary slave and her slave have mistreated me. I shall elucidate:

Hi Tigger. You’re looking pleased with yourself today. (I was in the process of bathing) You also look in good shape. I should point out that your shaved leg bands remind me of….

“Don’t say it! IF you do I’ll hurt you. [I know he’s about to mention that I resemble that other race which slobbers, hangs out their tongues and moves their tails back and forth rapidly and has shaved legs and poufy tails] I’ll demonstrate my sharp claws upon you till you bleed! [shudder…. Dogs]

…..that I need a haircut. [good recovery, slave] I was NOT going to mention that you look like a pood……..

“Don’t say it!” I muttered

Ok. I’ll keep my mouth shut.

“Wise move.”

(Whereupon he picked me up. I thought he was going to give me attention and pet me.)

“Ah… kindness and attention for a change.” I purred

(I didn’t notice he was walking into the observation station room and that he closed the door)

“Hello primary slave.” I said to slave

She was hiding the needle behind her back. She abused my trust and JABBED in the back with that needle.

“AAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

“Let me out of here! NOW!” I ordered.

Secondary slave stood up with some kind of bag that had a hose that went down to the needle.

“Oh… that hurts. You’re letting water trickle into me. I’m supposed to drink water. NOT WEAR IT! (stupid slave are in a hurt me kind of mood of late) What kind of drugs are you taking? Why have you become so abusive? Why did you take me to that evil person? You must have taken lessons from her because you’re doing the same thing to me that she did! Sticking needles in me. Feeding me bad food. Locking me in a cage. Too many bad things to mention.”

“They even had dogs!

“Have they been beating you on the head? (I know that seems strange, but those [shudder] dog things can be hit on the head and sides and it doesn’t bother them. They even chase after sticks and clubs. (is this all a bad dream?) Why are they treating me so badly?

It’s for you own good master. You need this water and liquid pills we squirt down your throat. It will help you with your kidney disease. [primary slave person said this while petting me. Stupid secondary slave just stood there and kept looking at the bag and hose]

They finally let me go, after removing that needle, so I ran away. I’m not getting close to them for awhile.

Aww, Master Tigger - sending you plenty of prayers and vibes, that the medical slaves make you all better
