Tigerlily

I named my cat Tigerlily after the character in "Peter Pan", because I have loved this story ever since I was a little kid. In my opinion, my cat Tigerlily is the most adorable, quirky cat I have ever seen. She is a maine coon cat. She’s extremely fluffy but surprisingly skinny under all of her fur. One of the things that makes her so unique is her fascination with water. Most cats detest water, but she loves to play in it for hours at a time. She’ll bat her paws in the water and make a huge mess. She’s also a trouble maker! She enjoys knocking things off the counter and watching them fall to the floor, where they either break or roll to a place she knows we won’t find for a long time. My mom has resorted to putting tape on the arm of the couch she is constantly clawing at, even though she knows better. Tigerlily always needs to be around someone. She loves it when we pet her, but she becomes restless when she is picked up. She hid my sister’s glasses once as she was using them as a toy to play with, and my sister did not find them for about two months. In spite of the fact that she is a trouble maker, I love her and I’m so thankful to have such an adorable pet. :-)

  1. Awwww Your cat has a cute name!!!! You should put some pictures of your cat!!!! I really want a cat too but I don't know if that's a good thing if I already have guinea pigs. But I really want a cat though..preferably a ragdoll cat. I was thinking of just getting one but my roommate don't really like cat so maybe next year!

  2. CUTE! I love playing with cats but never have one of my own. One time I was sitting on the stairs smoking, one cute little orange cat climbed up to my thighs and started cleaning herself. Hope you have fun with your cat.
