Tigress Stravyn™ Goes to the Farmers Market

Adventure, bengals, cats, cute, kittens, tiger

Going to the farmers market is a weekly event for my papa. I have been going since I was about four months old.  I have a Red buggy Grandmaw got me for my adventures. People seem to love seeing me in it at the market. They always point. “OMG a cat” I hear all day.  When I go to the market with my grandmaw we look at the same things.  I love all these sparkly things that she calls jewelry.  It’s at the market that I first met those things called dogs. More about dogs in a minute.

Before we go to the market Papa writes out a list of fruits and vegetable we need to get.  I have to quickly memorize this list because he always leaves the paper at home.  Papa must be trying to improve my memory by leaving it at home each week!  Meow bananas, meow radishes.  I have a good memory.

About those dogs.  IMG_0077I have to tell Papa where to go but most Dogs have to pull their Humans around on a leash.  It’s funny to watch since Humans don’t follow their dogs too well.  “Come here!” Yell the humans at their dogs. Which doesn’t make sense since they are being pulled so nice by their dogs.  Sniffing these dogs that come up to my buggy to say hi is a lot better then sniffing some of those humans who try and touch me with out my permission.  Growl, Hiss!

I do pose for many pictures while I’m shopping.  Quickly I turn my face to show people my nice rosettes and markings on my back when they pull out their cameras.  I have to finally show them my face or they won’t stop taking pictures.

Arriving at home

bengals, cats, cute, kittens, tiger

I am 21 months old now but I went home with Papa when I was almost 10 weeks old.  Papa is my Human.  I have a Grandmaw, Aunt and Uncle, and 2 cousins.  My cousins, Tango and Hobbes live in Oregon which will be my subject on a later blog about my travels.  Tango and Hobbes were “rescued” by my Aunt but its really the other way around.  When you get an animal that was in a pound its the Human who is being rescued from a life without the joy and gift of having a animal to serve.

I noticed some slight differences between Tigress’ and Humans.  One main example that I had to get used to was that….well I’ll just come out and say it… Cats go to the bathroom in a nice clean sand/litter box.  Humans go to the bathroom in a thing called a toilet filled with water!  I know what your thinking… I couldn’t believe it either but I have learned to live with it.

I had a great welcome home sign when I arrived.  It was filled with very cute sayings.

“Cats are like music….it is foolish to try and explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”

“There is no more intrepid explorer than a kitten”

“A meow massages the heart”

“Thousands of years ago cats were worshiped as gods, they have not forgotten this”

“To err is human, to Purr is feline”

“There is no snooze button on a cat that wants breakfast”

“No outfit is complete without cat hair”
