Why We Loved this Cat

Tiger arrived at our front door, literally, on Feb. 18, 2008. I came home from work that day very surprised -- and secretly delighted -- to see a scruffy kitten with a small cut on its left eye huddled in the corner beside our doorway.  It had made the effort of walking all the way from our front gate to our door, seeking shelter from the rain that day. To a kitten, I could imagine that it might've been the longest walk it had ever taken. But what amazed me the most, which still puzzles me to this day, is why Tiger chose to enter our home -- among all the other homes on our street -- that day. I could only attribute it really to a divine intervention. In the months that followed, it became clear that this cat was sent especially to our home.

Two Cats, a Girl, and Her Bed

My cats have become drawn to my bed and made a habit of snoozing on it in all sorts of positions -- curled up, twisted, on their backs, on their sides, stretched all the way out.  It's not uncommon for pet cats to do this, but I'm feeling pretty special about their doing so particularly when I myself am on the bed :-)
