Tigger Smith

Tigger and his sister Waifer were adopted by Laura from the Long Island animal shelter as kittens in 1993. Tigger lived in a studio apartment in New York City (W. 57th St.) for several years before moving to the suburbs of Atlantic Highlands and Middletown, New Jersey. It was in Jersey that Tigger discovered his love of birds. He would watch the bird feeder for hours and later discovered a window seat with a great view of the gutter where the birds would line up waiting for their turn at the feeder. He also discovered stairs which were a bit of a challenge when he saw them for the first time. In 2000, Tigger moved to Seattle. He enjoyed his flight in first class and particularly enjoyed his stay at the Four Seasons in Seattle (yes this was a corporate move...). He loved the big window sills at the Four Seasons with plenty of room to lounge on. He also loved his house in the Highlands, particularly the back patio, where he would occasionally bravely venture out, until running back inside. He once saw a raccoon through the back patio glass. We couldn't figure out why he was hissing and growling until we saw the raccoon! Tigger loved ice cream, turkey, chicken, steak and rye crackers. And he loved to snuggle on the recliner chair each evening. He was the greatest cat ever and he is deeply loved and greatly missed.
