9.17 My Cat Tiger

Tiger is a female cat. She lives with me (Donald). Tiger is brown with long hair.

Every year Tiger gets big fur balls. She has a winter coat that gets knots in them. She doesn’t like to get the knots out. She fights with me when I try to pull those knots off. I have to put gloves on so she doesn’t scratch me. Someday soon I will have to take her to the vets to get her claws trimmed and get the sharpness off.

I like Tiger but miss my other cat Mitten. He was white and got run over. The big oil trucks parked by my house and one of them ran over him. I had Mitten when he was a tiny kitten.

Someday I will have to get a collar for Tiger so I can put the tags on her.

Tiger is my friend and I would miss her if she was gone.
