While some cats meow when they want treats or need their litter box cleaned, Tig has full conversations with anyone who talks to him. He’s truly here to be a part of the conversation. He’ll respond when you acknowledge him, and he’ll chime in when you’re talking shit behind his back (and he’ll shit in the shower to get his revenge). Most cats can understand certain commands, but El Gato De Tig interprets and analyzes full conversations. Sometimes he’s even eavesdropping so he can taunt you by doing exactly the opposite of what you expect. Either way, Tig understands it all, and wants you to hear about it.

The guys below are the best in their businesses and they keep me well fed.
