"He gets at least a half hour of cuddle time in," Linderman told The Dodo. "And if his brother Boots tries to get there first, Tig will just sit on him 'til he moves. That is his daddy."

As soon as his dad leaves for work, Tigger will go off and find a place to hang out until his dad finally comes home again. Once he's home and sitting down, Tigger will jump back into his lap for more cuddles. His cuddle time with Dad is very important to him — and if, for some reason, it can't happen in the morning because his dad is running late, he will pout for the entire day.



"He will sit in the living room, hold his eyes shut and just open his mouth like he is meowing but nothing comes out," Linderman said. "We tell him he will be back and he will open his eyes, but it always looks like he was crying. My dad will come home, pick him up and ask him if we picked on his baby boy and Tig will just rub his face all over Dad's. He definitely has a special bond with my dad."
