WELCOME TO TIKI'S PAGE

THE LATEST TIKI NEWS ON JULY 29TH, TIKI GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE. I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. FOR OVER A MONTH HE WAS GONE.BUT ON THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 8TH, (AROUND 1:30 am) HE CAME HOME. HE CAME RIGHT UP TO THE FRONT DOOR OF MY HOUSE, LOOKED IN THE SCREEN DOOR WINDOW, AND CRIED TO BE LET IN. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY HE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE CRYING THAT NIGHT. I CAN TELL HE HAD A RUFF TIME OUT THERE. HE HAS QUITE A FEW BATTLE SCARS NOW. (I FEEL SO BAD) HE HAS LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT. BUT I CAN FIX THAT. I THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE TIME FOR HIM TO GET USED TO THE IDEA OF BEING BACK INDOORS. BUT I THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE LONGER FOR HIM TO GET USED TO THE IDEA THAT I CAN GO MORE THAN FIVE FEET FROM HIM AND STIL COME BACK WITHOUT HIM BEING ATTACHED TO MY LEG. BUT ALL IN ALL, I'M JUST HAPPY HE'S BACK. WELCOME HOME TIKI, DADDY MISSED YOU. |
THIS IS MY KITTEN TIKI
I HAVE NEVER HAD A PET THAT I HAVE LOVED AS MUCH AS HIM!
THE FIRST TIME I SAW TEQUILA HE WAS 4 DAYS OLD, AND I KNEW AT THAT TIME THAT HE WAS MENT TO SPEND HIS LIFE WITH ME.
I GOT HIM FROM MY BEST FRIEND CHRIS'S BROTHER, AFTER HIS CAT TIGGER HAD HER KITTENS.
A FRIEND THAT I USED TO WORK WITH USED TO BREED CATS. WHEN SHE SAW HIM, SHE SAID HE LOOKED LIKE A SIBERIAN BLUE. SHE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NO REAL "GREY" CATS. THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY BLUE. WHICH IS EASY TO TELL WITH TIKI, BECAUSE HE HAS A VERY BLUE TINT TO HIM.
TIKI GOT HIS NAME, NOT FROM THE DRINK, BUT FROM THE SONG "PURPLE PEOPLE EATER". WHEN I WAS FIVE MY MOM BOUGHT ME A RECORD PLAYER AND A BUNCH OF RECORDS. ONE OF THEM WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS, "THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER". AT THE END OF THE SONG, YOU HEAR THE P.P.E. SAY IN HIS FUNNY LITTLE VOICE "TEQUILA". AND EVER SINCE THEN, I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THE WORD TEQUILA, AND THE WAY IT SOUNDS.
BUT TIKI ISN'T YOUR EVERY DAY KITTY!!!
HE THINKS HE'S A DOG!
ALL MY LIFE I'VE RAISED DOGS, SO WHEN IT CAME TO BRINGING UP A CAT, I DID THE ONLY THING I KNEW HOW TO DO...
HE CAN
FETCH
SIT
LIE DOWN
ROLL OVER
PLAY WITH MY DOGS
REFUSES TO EAT CAT FOOD
WILL ONLY EAT DOG FOOD
AND EVEN TRIES TO BARK
HE'S JUST THE CUTEST LIL' PUPKAT YOU EVER DID SEE!!
NOT TO MENTION, HE'S A GREAT SUBJECT MATTER FOR MY SKETCHES AND PHOTOGRAPHY!

Subject: How To Bathe A Cat
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted. 3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find. The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this. 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "powerwash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective. 6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door. 7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids. 8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself. Sincerely, The Dog |
