Tiggi lives in a a village , although it is surrounded by
countryside our road runs horizontal with the main A38 which is the city centre road into Birmingham. We are in a pretty built up part, there are houses all around . Our house is semi detached with a big garden that Tig rarely ventured out of , she was more than content going out with the dogs last thing at night and coming in with them. Our road is a busy one obviously as it links straight off the a38 and the m5 link j4.

My Tiggi is gorgeous , when we first got her she was a little savage but has been cuddled to death and is now so so soft, and very playful , I often find myself being woken up due to her sat there tapping my face with her paws to wake me , she comes to her name with family members, but she isnt the sort of cat that is good with strangers, she tended to stay in the house to favour my mum and I , often spendin g her whole days lying on my bed in the sunshine asleep . She is a really happy cat, constantly purring , very playful and adores hunting, we have often had games with Tig in goal and us using little bits of rolled up paper up and down the stairs.

She lives with three dogs, Ollie who is our golden retriever and two younger terriers, they adore Tiggi and Ollie in particular has been crying since she didnt return home. Often I have walked in to find them all snuggled up together in a big heap on the floor.
Tiggi hates the cold , and it was very rare she spent all night out doors, on the rare occasion that she did she would climb into our green house and sleep there amoungst the warmth of the plants. Being a Bengal cat she is taken with water , this normally meant perching on the edge of the bath if I was in it and trying to catch the flannel and drag it out. She wont drink from a normal drinking dish, and used to cry for me to turn the tap on so she could drink directly from there.

She is affectionate with me to thepoint of extremes, and often I would carry her around in my arms flat on her back like a baby. Even though she is soft with me she does have temper and a half , which earnt her the nickname 'clawful' in the house as she would often rather than striking out at me or mum , simply attack the next persons feet that came into view save her upsetting us.

She is a very independant little cat, down right willful at times, if you do something she doesnt approve of she will strop off into another room and ignore you. She saw our garden as her hunting ground and often brought back birds and rats that she had caught . She has a scar on the inside bit of her right eye, some of the fur is missing from where she got injured fighting with our neighbours cat.

Last thing at night I would call her and I could hear this meow she would continue answering me when I called her name until she came into view of the back door and then she would come in. She is very calm when she is indoors now, content with sleeping anywhere that is warm and cosy. She doesnt like children, they intimidate her, due to her savageness when she was young we made sure her environment was calm no sudden shocks or suprises. She will run from them rather than attacking them , in that way she is very measured.

I am so worried for Tiggi , it is very unusual for her not to come home, normally she would be there giving me grief as she wanted feeding, she adores her food and has always easily eaten more than any of the guides suggest, she constantly seems starving.
