Cats of the Month - Tigger & Tony - April 2020



Our April  "Cat(s) of the Month" household features  the irresistible fur-balls, Tigger and Tony. They are the star players in the household of Robin Hote Drouin, who lives with her husband in a Missouri town near Kansas City.  


Robin
"Cat of the Month" is a new feature, spotlighting  some of Facebook Pages regular friends. Robin, Tigger and Tony often visit us on our page, and we sometimes think of them as our virtual boyfriends!  After all, they have all our colors of orange, black, white, peach and even a stripe or two.  They always have really funny  stories to contribute and they make our human laugh a lot! Now back to our stars.

Robin became a cat lover when she was 18 years old and a stray pregnant cat wandered into her backyard and gave birth to six kittens!  Robin got lucky because her mother let her take care of them!
"That was the start of my crazy passion for cats," she tells us!


TIGGER, the orange comedian who's livened up our page for over 2 years was a surprise gift from Robin's husband.  He'll  be 12 years old on APRIL 5 (Happy Birthday Tigger)!  

According to Robin, he specializes in "knocking things over" and the "creative tilting of lampshades!" In fact Tigger won our "Artistic Cat Award" earlier this year for his creative use of a paper towel. 

Posing for "cheesecake shots" also appears to be one of Tigger's specialties! 


We can certainly empathize with THAT specialty!

Robin loves his cute facial expressions and states that he enjoys holding conversations with her! We bet he has a lot to say!

TONY


Tony as Kitten
Tony, Robin's second cat is a specialist of original facial expressions, which he displays in all his photos.  He has a "consultative" look as if he would like to be asked for advice!

Robin fell in love with his photo on a shelter website and immediately went to adopt him!  Her story of that adventure is detailed in her own words at the end of our article.  


Tony's favorite activities are playing with balls, stuffed mice and scratching her husband's guitar.  (We heard a rumor that he plays the guitar secretly at night).  We would also add that another of Tony's favorite activities also appears to be posing for photographs, with a quirky, quizzical  expression on his face.
He had the same expression as a kitten!

How Robin found Tony

Robin tells an endearing story about how she first met Tony!
"After the death of another pet, the Lord started showing me a picture of a cat.  When I saw Tony's picture, that was the cat. I knew the Lord had chosen this cat just for me.  When I got to the shelter and held him for the first time, I cried. He was sick when I got him and I nursed him back to health at home. The minute he came out of his cage, this tiny little thing took complete control of Tigger!"





Before we close the story of Tony and Tigger, we want to show you a few pictures of them in "virtual costume" for they were frequent "stars" in our many slideshows.  Here they are a few photos  we could locate from "the old days!

  9. A: Being highly fat-soluble, the remnants of weed tend to accumulate in your fat cells, at least before it is broken down and released into the bloodstream. So, you will have a higher tendency to store THC if you are overweight or have a higher BMI and a sedentary lifestyle. A: The time for which THC is stored in a body depends on several factors like strength of the weed, the method by which the weed is consumed (both of these criteria decide its potency), and your frequency of weed use. Regular smoking results in the accumulation of weed in your system, making it stay longer. Also, your lifestyle and exercise play a role; those who regularly exercise are more likely to get their systems rid of THC faster than those who have an unhealthy lifestyle. Q: Do agents like detox tea or alcohol work in THC detox? A: Detox teas are mostly diuretics, which can help flush out THC by increasing your urination and washing out the kidneys. Although it doesn’t guarantee THC elimination from your system, it can help mask THC in your urine. But better be cautious, as it can modify creatinine levels in your urine, suggesting to the lab technician the possible contamination of your urine. Alcohol consumption doesn’t help in THC detox. It can, on the contrary, boost THC levels in your body. So, if you have smoked pot and consumed some alcohol, your THC levels will probably be higher than with marijuana alone.   The Old Style Aloe Toxin Rid Shampoo is one of the best detox shampoos on the market! The best way to use it is to start applying your regular shampoo, followed by this detox shampoo. After massaging it into your scalp for around 15 minutes, rinse it out completely and then apply your conditioner. The effective formula within the Old Style Aloe Toxin Rid Shampoo is a secret but is also guaranteed to work. Aloe rid shampoo that sufficiently clarifies Ingredients are not disclosed   This Ultra Clean Shampoo is a great detoxifying shampoo and conditioner duo that removes medications, chemical buildup, and other impurities within the hair shaft. This kit comes with a shampoo, purifier, and conditioner.
