Hello Shawn,

>RS>My b/w female Lucky, when she wants attention, she rubs my leg with
>RS>her head, I  call it "giving me a smooch."

SH>That's what Mike does when he wants attention.  If you ignore that he hops
SH>on something so he is eye level and "MEEEEOOOOOWWWWS" at
you with a look
SH>of pure surprise and shock you aren't petting him.

LSU has a cat named Mike.  A much bigger cat than yours.  At
two-years-old, it already weighs over 300 pounds.  And within
two or three years from now, it will weigh at least 700 pounds.

SH>The girls at the vet's office told me he made sure they understood
SH>he wanted to go home this morning by yelling at them.    (Of
SH>course he flirted with them all day yesterday so they all love him
SH>anyway) :)  Had him altered and declawed as he just wouldn't listen
SH>to us when we tried training him and destroyed quite a bit of
SH>furnature around here. :(

What a horrible thing to do!  Mike the Tiger (formerly named Ross)
would NEVER allow himself to be declawed!  He'd fight to his last breath
if anybody would even think to do such a dastardly thing to him!  Of
course, he is a very nice pussycat, enjoys to swim, and often plays with
a very big blue ball in front of thousands of adoring fans.  But then,
what else is a bengal-siberian mix tiger to do (aside from eating lots
of raw steaks)?
