This past Friday started with me looking over my map of World domination.  I’m sure all of us cats have something like this in one form or another. My map lists places I’ve been to, or read about, or my human I call Papa has told me about.  I noticed a spot close by called the Florida Keys. I have never heard about this area so I decided to read a little bit about these “keys.”


Hmmm it says right here that it’s a collection of islands that have exotic wildlife like birds and fishes. “Meow! Birds and fishes!” I yell.  I’m going to tell Papa to take me there today!!

I helped Papa pick out some chicken thighs for me for the road trip!!


When I got in the car I heard a bark from the backseat!  “Hey what are you doing here?” I meowed.  Sophie my dog friend said “I’m going to the Florida Keys.” “Papa we might need more food.” I meowed

As usual I have to help my human with directions. “Papa I think we should have taken a left there! Meow! Like I told you!” Then Sophie barks from the backseat, “Bark.  I knew he was going to miss that left turn!”



When we arrived there were people everywhere.  “Meow.” I said “I’m looking for exotic birds and fishes!”

I decided to ask some people about the exotic wildlife I read about.  “Meow” I said loudly!!

A human jumped and said “Oh my a Cat!”  “Meow” I replied. “I’m looking for fishes and birds” I told him.

“I’m a Captain.” he told papa. Then he said he catches fishes just a short distance away on his boat. Then the Captain looked at me and said “Arr, mate you would make a cute little pirate. In Ye quest for exotic wildlife remember that the state bird of Florida is the mosquito!” Then he laughed and I looked at Papa and said, “Meow! Papa humans are even more weird than usual in the Florida keys!”

“Meow. Papa take me to the pier where the captain is pointing to so I can see the fishes!”


Grrrr no fishing!  I don’t understand since the captain said fishes were over here.  Hmmm maybe I need a boat like he has.

“No papa. Those boats looks to scary for me! I might get my tail wet!” I meowed.


I have an idea. I see kayaks in the water.  “Papa. Let’s go get a kayak.”

The person renting kayaks said we have to give them identification.  I quickly leaned down and showed him my head. “These are Bengal head markings they are for Identification to a cat.” I meowed. Hmmm he didn’t seem to understand.  Typical human.

Papa was staring at something in the water. I meowed “Papa what is it?”  He replied “Look Stravyn a pink Cadillac limo floating in the water!”  I think the sun was starting to get to Papa but I looked and to my surprise I saw it!!!


It was getting late, the sun was starting to set and all the humans were going over to the waters edge to watch it.



It was so pretty.  But it started to get cold so I bundled up.  

“Sophie better get under some covers!” I meowed. But Sophie was already under covers.  

It was time to go home after a long day.  “One last look at the sunset?” I asked papa.

Tigress Stravyn® How To Help Your Human part 2

Adventure, animals, bengals, cute, funny, kittens, lol, tiger, training

While on a doggy/Bengal outing recently with my puppy friend Sophie her Human told my Papa a old story which goes like this;

A dog thinks. “The people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with food and a nice place to live and take care of me. They must be God’s”…While A cat thinks. “The humans I live with feed me, love me, provide me with food, a house, play with me and take care of me; I must be a God!”

As all Beautiful Fierce Felines know this is a truth that has never been debunked. But it is not all as glamorous as it seems. As with part 1 of this post titled How to Help Your Human this part 2 shows that we still have to take care of our humans and it is not an easy job.

As I was thinking about this Sophie my dog friend was trying to beat me in a race at the farmers market but I came out ahead by a whisker. “Hurry papa!” I meow.

I’ll list some examples below to show some helpful things we can do to help our humans so their time can be freed up to pamper us more.

When our Humans drive and we are not sleeping it is very important to help them with directions.  I know we love our humans but we always have to have a watchful eye. Even if you’re not paying attention when you hear the GPS say “recalculating!” It’s time to tell your Human MEOW! We are lost! And we are low on food!!!!!


Our humans like to take many pictures of us and we can help them by every once in a while hold still and look regal for them to take a funny picture.

Sometimes it’s had to look Regal in the many pictures our humans take. But just put up with it for a little bit and you can always reward them later with a nice love kiss with your teeth. “That finger that just took this picture is going to get a nice little bite !” I meow.


I have a Papa that takes me so many places. Another thing I like to do for my human when we are out is to make sure those funny drinks he orders are safe.The best way I like to do this is to either stick my nose in it or if you can’t stick your nose in it then make sure some fur flies into the drink.

We can also help are humans by teaching them new games. Here I’m teaching my papa how to play gin rummy. “I win papa.” I meow.  He says “no you didn’t”. I reply with a loud meow/growl “I WON!” And of course I was right I did win!

Always help your human when they shop. “Get the chicken seasoning papa” I meow.

Our humans will always bring us home new toys. Of course as any cat knows all we want are brand-new boxes, bags, or strings. Still we must pretend to show an interest in the toys they bring us so they will feel like their time and energy was spent well. “Yes I love it Papa. Yawn! Don’t you see me playing with it?” I meow.


When putting away items like paper towels or toilet paper organization is the key to fitting in as many items as you can in a small storage area. I like to help my papa out with this as much as I can. “It’s full papa no more room in here!” I meow.

Well all these helpful hints are making me quite tired while I take a nap please check below for my older blogs which offer for more helpful advice.  Meow!!!
