WHAT THE heck? I have 3 “real” dogs, not yappy runts, American Foxhound, Catahoula, and a Springer Spaniel, and 4 cats - One Tiger, One Orange Tabby, one Long Haired, and one “Garfield” old fat man.
So, am I confilicted? Also, BTW, one cat thinks he’s a dog, and one dog has adopted 2 of the cats as littermates.
Life is more complicated (and more interesting) than stereotypes.
A real tiger or just a transspecies cat who makes you pretend he's a tiger?:-)
