Must be pick on Tigger day About This Page:

[Fortissimo]

Poor little Tigger, the cats are being really mean today.

It started this mornig while I was sitting in bed reading the news paper. I look down at the end of the bed and Pipsqueak is giving Tigger a bath. Yes, in this house an 8lb cat gives a 55lb dog a bath.

Pip is cleaning Tigger's ears and then moves to her face. A few licks later, Pip all the sudden gives Tigger a little nibble on the cheek.

Tigger gets up, crawls onto my lap, where Fortissimo happens to be sleeping, and whines "Mom - did you see that Mom? You're not going to let him get away with that are you, Mom?"

Of course I'm laughing at my poor little puppy, but she sees no humour in the situation.

A while later I'm vaccuming (gag) and I turn to see Fortissimo sitting on the chair. As Tigger walks by, Tis reaches out his paw and smacks the abused puppy on the rear.

I laugh, Tigger sulks.

I put Tigger outside so she can lay in the sun. Well, she is upset by this and insists on sitting by the sliding door with her sad little puppy dog eyes peering into the house.

Fortissimo sees Tigger, Tigger sees Tis. Tis walks up to Tigger's dog food and starts eating it. (Yes, not only do I have a cat that gives the dog a bath, I have another cat that eats the dog food.) Tigger whines some more, I laugh some more.

I shoo Tis away from Tigger's food and let the poor doggy in. It is now Pipsqueak's turn to swat Tigger in the rear.

Tigger is now laying on the living room couch, looking out the window. She looks sad and dejected. She is anxiously awaiting the return of her dad so he can help her get revenge on the cats.

I've given her several Tigger Treats, but she is still upset.

The poor, abused little doggy.

LOL!! our border collie does not understand that all our cats are not declawed and has had his nose swatted more than once and still hasn't learned!! of course who does he run to when this happens--me of course!! he is rotten to the core, but i wouldn't take anything for him.

Poor Tigger! Did she do anything to deserve this? Maybe this is pay back for something you didn't see. Either way, I feel sorry for her.
Here is Eeyore to help cheer her up. With him around nothing is really that bad.

Oh dear! My heart goes out to tigger. We have four cats, one of whom is only 4 months old. Since he still has claws he terrorizes all of the others and yes, they come running right to me! (And then I send Daddy to go break it up. I'm not getting in the middle of that! )

Celebrate the future...

We have a border collie who got picked on pretty regularly too!
Zoe would come bounding down the steps in her "happy to be alive" mode, oblivious to the mean old cat waiting behind the wall. Well, that cat would swat her on the behind every time. Poor Zoe!!! She never saw it coming.
Don't feel too bad though. That poor cat would be lying on the floor, sound asleep, and out of nowhere, mean old Zoe would run at her, barking her fool head off. Scared the bejeezus out of that poor cat.
I think they tried to top each other, in who got the other.
I sure do miss that mean old cat!

Well, I was just going to reply that Tigger is usually an innocent victim as the cats love to torment her. But as I was connecting to the web, I heard a great big crash down stairs. I walk down stairs to see what the cats had done this time, and what do I find?

Tigger with her head stuck in the Tigger Treat box! She has obviously been sneaking treats during the day and this time she got caught!

I wondered why she hadn't been eating her dog food.

Poor little Tigger, she is such an angel.
