When I was just a young kitten, there was an older cat in the house. His name was Growltiger. Our pets used to call him the Terror of Rose Marie. He was a big old tomcat who never really learned to play nice with others. By the time I came inside, he was very ill and not as inclined to be as mean.

he WAS so handsome! halfmoon_mollie February 19 2022, 14:33:37 UTC

My mother had a kitty that looked a lot like GrowlTiger. He came to her by accident as well.

Mom and Dad think he belonged to someone who lived in a car because he loved to be in a vehicle, so much so that once they found him in a moving van getting ready to leave for Alaska. He got chipped after that, just in case.

It never went to his head, though!

Thank you for sharing Growltiger and his story with us. An actor-cat, how special! I'm sure he enjoyed having you there to listen to his stories.

That's a wonderful photo of Growltiger relaxing with Dad. No matter how famous an actor you are, you still need naps and scritches. --Pippin

He was awfully big and scary at first, but he was a good big brother.

You are right, Pippin. Naps and pets are always good.

What a beautiful tail about GrowlTiger and what a special production! But just that one and then he retired. The photos are very special too, he was quite the handsome dude.

Sweet memories...

Yes, it was a one-off for him. He got big and had to start staying home becuase there wasn't a reason to keep him on campus. He would still visit, though. The other kitties were a little jealous I think, but they loved him so much that when they passed, they stayed behind and waited until it was his time, then they helped him over the bridge.
