On February 23, Tiggy–Tiger managed to find a pen for her writer Papi... Yep, she jumps on Papi's secretary desk and looks for one!
Searching on her Papi's secretary desk...
She did this all the time, even when we were in bed, loudly she came with her pen for Papi...
Since her Papi's passing she has not done this anymore!
May 14 Tiggy–Tiger batting her big mouse around...
I wonder if they understand when someone has departed. I think they do.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sandi,
DeleteThey sure do as two of our kitties were with Pieter till the very end... They have that sixth senth and know far more than most humans do.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette, Tiggy is a beauty. Our loved pets do so miss their humans and it seems Tiggy knows that her Papi is not there to need a pen any more. Some pets do pass away from sorrow. I'm glad Tiggy is there for you and so very playful. Lynn and Precious XX
ReplyDeleteDearest Lynn and Precious,
DeleteShe sure knows that as she watched him die... Tiggy sat in my office chair watching her Papi and her brother Spooky was there with him. Dogs often grief in a way that they don't eat and hardly live. But kitties also know!
She is now 17 years and 5 months and playful like a kitty, not her siblings.
Hugs,
Mariette
Aww, that's a lovely thing.
ReplyDeleteDearest Vicky,
DeleteIt yet once more shows how much they understand about their human Parents...
Hugs,
Mariette
Tiggy Tiger was a good girl to bring her Papi a pen. She was having fun with her mouse.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jackie and Ivor,
DeleteYes, Tiggy was a dedicated and loyal girl and she understood things so well.
Had to rescue that very mouse yesterday with a long ruler, she's worked it under the oak wall unit and couldn't reach it anymore.
Hugs,
Mariette
Tiggy Tiger is both precious and smart! I know she misses her Papi.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Mariette!
Dearest Martha Jane,
DeleteShe is a very smart kitty and yes, they all three did mourn.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes, my friend. I think our precious furry friends sense more than we know. Precious!
ReplyDeleteDearest Billie Jo,
DeleteOh, they have known both of us from A to Z and they sense what is coming.
Hugs,
Mariette
How sweet that she used to get a pen for her Papi. I am sure she misses him very much. XO
ReplyDeleteDearest Ellen,
DeleteYes, she was very sweet and you should hear her announce it when she was bringing one into the bedroom! Tiggy–Tiger is also the most vocal kitty.
We all four miss him very much.
Hugs,
Mariette
She is such a cutie tabby girl!!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Terry,
DeleteYes, she is, was only 6 pounds but very smart and vocal!
Hugs,
Mariette
The photos and the clip made me feel happy
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThank you and I am sure glad I got this from the time that Tiggy's Papi was still alive...
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette; Oh My, I felt really moved to read this post. YES, Tiggy's Papi must be still in her mind, I wondered if she really missed her Daddy like us human beings as you said she hasn't done this. Please Take Care of yourself; Since I've lost my parents and brother, made me kind of remembered my true feeling for my family. Here is tiny old Japanese woman loving to have you a friend. Lot's of LOVE, Miyako
ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
DeleteOh yes, our pets DO grief and they sense far better what is going on.
Indeed, family is very important and we all have them for such a limited time!
Your loyal friendship over the years has been much appreciated and I admire you for your language skill!
Hugs,
Mariette
Es un encanto. El gato es un buen animal de compañía.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteSí, Tiggy y los otros dos de sus hermanos son amuletos preciosos.
Los gatitos son muy inteligentes y leales y eso los convierte en excelentes animales de compañía.
Abrazos,
Mariette

Dearest Laura and Mackerull,
DeleteTHANK you for your kind words!
Tiggy is the sweetest, talking kitty and still rather playful as well.
Don't think she will look again for a pen—kitties know the reality!
Hugs,
Mariette
Tigry ha capito che Peter non cè'.Notte
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteOh, Tiggy lo sa molto bene, così come i suoi due fratelli!
Abbracci,
Mariette
Tiggy is a clever girl! I love her squeaky little meows in the second video.
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteThank you and yes she is extremely smart. When in the dark she walks into the bedroom and I ask who is there, she always talks back so I know.
She has almost a birdlike, happy chirping voice and that is only her doing this. The others talk but not the same way.
Hugs,
Mariette
What precious memories and an adorable video. Hugs, my dear.
ReplyDeleteDearest Darla,
DeleteThank you and I'm sure glad I finally captured this before Tiggy stopped doing it after Pieter's passing...
Hugs,
Mariette
Awww, that's so adorable!
ReplyDeleteDearest Melissa,
DeleteThank you and it shows that kitties are very smart!
Hugs,
Mariette
What a touching story!
ReplyDeleteIt's incredible how our furry friends have such unique ways of showing their love and understanding. It sounds like Tiggy-Tiger had a special bond with her Papi, always bringing him a pen as if she knew it was important for his writing.
It's bittersweet to hear she no longer does this since his passing — a sign of how deeply animals can feel loss too.
May Tiggy-Tiger find comfort in her own little ways, like batting her big mouse around.
Hugs and blessings, dearest Mariette
Dearest veronica,
DeleteYes, it sure is as they are so synchronized with their humans and know everything.
Tiggy–Tiger sure did grief, as did her brother and sister and she did not search for a pen since Pieter's passing.
So happy she plays with her toys and that is a good sign.
Hugs,
Mariette
That is such a beautiful memory of how Tiggy-Tiger used to get Pieter's pen. It sounds as though they had a very special connection and I'm sure Tiggy is feeling his loss. We loved seeing her batting her mouse. So fun! Hugs to you, Mariette. I hope you and the kitties are doing well.
ReplyDeleteDearest Kevin,
DeleteYes, it is a beatiful memory and I'm so glad I finally captured this in Februari when it still was her routine. How much they loved their Papi and knew everything what was going on in our home and yes, they do grief! They now are leaning onto me... Tiggy is a senior wtih 17 years and 5 months now but still rather playful.
Hugs,
Mariette
I read through some previous posts, and got some good education about mushrooms...Now I w=know what to look for at the store...and I giggled and giggled at the big butt and the wee butt...kind of like a daddy and his wee son, LOL, LOL!! And it made a cute beret for your Dad!!
ReplyDeleteThat was some humongous mushroom, and also what a most tantalizing big cauliflower. I enjoyed the country sounds with the chickens, and crowing rooster. I often roast cauliflower, but that one might have needed two baking sheets!
Tiggy Tiger is a sweetheart, and she sure took her time to go after the mouse, but then she really had fun with ut. She's a smart kitty with much wisdom and feelings for her Papi, so that now the pen stays on the desk...
Dearest Ingrid,
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the butt and the cauliflower grown by my Dad! Yes, he knew how to.
Tiggy is a love bug and super smart. All kitties know exactly how you are feeling and what is going on and they sure loved their Papi, they had a very special bond and all three did grief about him. Now they're even closer to me and we support each other.
Hugs,
Mariette
A wonderful memory.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes, a special memory of Tiggy and searching a pen for her Papi!
Now she just plays...
Hugs,
Mariette
Tiggy Tiger...what a wonderful help you were for Papi....pens tend to disappear here so excellent that you could find them for him.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs to you and the kitties Mariette
Cecilia
Dearest Cecilia,
DeleteTiggy Tiger always has been a master in finding them! In the kitchen, Pieter had some note blocks on the windowsill and a pen for shopping notes. Often that pen got taken by her and brought to the bedroom or into hallway. We always had to watch out for not 'rolling' over one...
Hugs,
Mariette
Hej Mariette,
ReplyDeleteWel gehoord van hulphonden, maar dit zou zo een hulppoes kunnen zijn. Ze is behendig en slim.
Lieve groet Willy
Beste Willy,
DeleteJa, denk dat bepaalde poezen ook een mini–hulppoes zouden kunnen zijn. Ze hebben niet de kracht van een grotere hond maar wel slim.
Liefs,
Mariette
What a cutie.
ReplyDeletewww.rsrue.blogspot.com
Dearest Regine,
DeleteTiggy–Tiger is a cutie indeed!
Hugs,
Mariette
That's sweet that Tiggy-Tiger jumped on the desk looking for a pen to give him. She is a loyal companion, and it's nice that you captured this on video to remember the moment. : )
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Dearest Sheri,
DeleteYes, she knew full well that her Papi was a writer and she wanted to hand him the tool.
Sure am glad I managed to capture her doing this as she has not done this since Pieter's passing...
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh, she misses him .. as I know you do. What a sweet kitty! (my last poem "thing" was in response to a word list ... which I don't like to do, and the resulting "thing" is horrible. Never again. But thank you for reading it. LOL
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteYes, our kitties miss their Papi, just like I do. Seventeen years since their birth was a long and special bonding time!
It is tough to create a poem following a word list but never mind, I read it and replied.
Hugs,
Mariette
Cats understand all.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Dearest Cristina,
DeleteYes, they sure do as they have that sixth sense and are very clever, loyal and loving!
Hugs,
Mariette
