Eve has been at home with Tu Tu kitty all week. Apparently they’ve had quite a bit of togetherness. There’s been some lounging/napping on the deck, lots of extra snacks that a certain little tiger doesn’t need, and lots of extra attention.
When I get home from work, Eve is usually in the office and Tulip comes out to greet me. I think she’s really enjoying the company all day. She’s always in a great mood. I can usually get in a pet or two without losing a pint of blood in the process.
I’ve been working on getting her used to being handled at bit more. Every day I pick her up and pet her 2 or 3 times. She’s getting more tolerant of it. Sometimes she even lets out a purr. I’m trying so hard to make her more gentle. But she’s a tough little nut to crack. So independent! Yesterday I reached down to pet her before leaving for work. She responded with the claw. I left with a nice bloody scratch across the back of my hand. “This ain’t no petting zoo, lady! Don’t touch the tiger!”
