I've always said that Tiger Lily is my "Nanny". She had to have an operation early in life and was never able to have kittens. So, since she
has only one eye, she cannot be a show cat either. She found her nitch in our cat filled home, she became our cat "Nanny".
Any time there is a squabble among the cats she runs to the sparring cats and actually gets between them. She usually escorts one of them
away. The favorite thing that Tiger Lily loves to do is throw balls for the other cats to chase. She picks up our small nerf ball with her paw and
actually reaches back and then throws the ball, at which time anywhere from 3 to 6 cats will chase after it and will sometimes bring it back to
her.
Tiger Lily has taught several of the kittens how to "walk the rail". I have a hand rail on my second floor living area that I have placed quilts
on and now I have many cats that escort me at shoulder level by walking on "the rail".

My name is Dakota, I am a Pixie-Bob. I was born on April 27th. 2004. This makes me a Taurus. I'm a boy. My first mom was Lee Jordan.
She breeds and shows Pixie-Bobs. I was born in the great Pacific Northwest State of Washington. Carol Brewer founded the Pixie-Bob breed
in Washington.
My Grandfather is a Legend Cat. Legend Cats are a suspected breeding of a bobcat with a barn cat. If this is true, I am 1/8 bobcat. This
makes me an F3 or 03 by TICA standards. My first mom, Lee, likes to show. I used to be a show cat. Lee heard that my current mom was
looking for a Pixie-Bob and thought that I would be perfect for her. Mom agreed, and after a long hot summer whent I couldn't be flown, I
came to live with her and dad. Lee kept showing me while I was waiting to go to mom and I became a Grand Champion. I was shown in the
alter class.
Shortly after coming to my new home there was a cat show. Mom had never been to a cat show and Lee encouraged her to show me. I got 10
finals and became a Quadruple Grand Champion. I'm not trying to brag here, just stating the facts. I really don't like to show but because Lee
loves it so much I tried to be a good sport. To be honest I really don't care for strangers too much. When strangers or non-residents come to
visit I run and hide. I even hid from mom's grown cubs and young grand cubs. I'm hopeful that mom will let me retire as a show cat.
I've had a good life where I get my favorite foods, raw rabbit and cooked yams. I like to eat other things too. My dry food is called Evolve. I
have toys and friends. I even get to have my very own diary and have made friends in other places. I like to play all the time. I like to sleep on
mom and dad's bed. I like it best when I get it to myself. Sometimes the Noses, these are two annoying Italian Greyhounds, get there first and
hide under the covers. Sometimes my friend Nimbus jumps on me while I'm trying to take a nap on the bed. Many nights I sleep right at
mom's feet.
All of the companions, including me, have nicknames. We also have a special song that mom sings for each of us. Some of my nicknames are
as follows:
The Barnacle, Barnacle Bob, Dakota-Bob, Me Barn, The Naughty Barn, The Naughtical, Meearggins, The Yam Man, Yammy, Yammers,
and The Rabbit Rocket.
Pretty silly, don't you think? All in all, I'm a fun guy who loves to play. I hope that you will enjoy my diary.
