The Tigers


Back to Dr. L.'s Homepage



We affectionately call our cats "The Tigers."  Currently we have four tigers:  Our old girl, Scamp, and the three boys: Blackie, Bobb, and Theo.  The year 2021 was hard for us as we lost two of our female cats:  our oldest cat, P-Pod (Scamp's Mom) and our youngest cat, Wompas. While P-Pod was somewhat expected, losing Wompas broke our hearts.  You can see more pictures of tigers we have known and loved (yes, we are nuts about our cats!).

In the Fall of 2021 we quickly went from a two cat household to a five cat household. Below were our three new members:  Blackie, Bobb (a natural bob-tailed cat), and Wompas.  All three appeared on our front porch within a month of each other.  We believe the boys Blackie and Bobb are litter mates and Wompus (a female) is a month or so younger.  Unfortunately Wompas was hit by a car in December 2022.

Our tigers like to help us pack for trips.  When we were packing for our Grand Canyon trip (Summer 2008) Scamp showed us how to fill a bag (left).  When we were packing for our Okcracoke trip (Summer 2010) Scamp and P-Pod inspected our luggage (right).  Notice that Scamp is no longer a kitten.
