Tigger suffers from the rather distressing condition called Austin Syndrome! It is characterised by feelings of impending doom and the fear of the imminent paw thwack and neck bitey.
Scene: The summerhouse on a cool and showery October day.
"Is he coming?"
“Ok, I shall take a nap!"
“He could still be coming!"
“Room for a small one?"
Tigger takes solace and succour where he can!
⟺
succour, suck-er (noun) - any cat-loving human with a lap, who is just about to go shopping, do chores, or cook a cordon bleu meal for twenty
⟺
MOL!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your definition of succour! ....but now I have an unexpected craving for chicken cordon bleu.
; ) Katie & Glogirly
oh poor Tigger, you can sense the expectation from his errrr back view body language, head on one side peering thru the gap as he waits for his best friend Austin to turn up! but does he, seems not!! so after a little sleep to ease the disappointment, he finally finds succour or maybe even a suck-er with a comfy lap to compensate....I'm just wondering tho - however likely is it that there's someone within spitting or even scratching distance of Tigger or Austin, who could rustle up a cordon bleu meal for twenty people??
ReplyDeleteOur mom is definitely a succour
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE your definition of SUCCOUR !
ReplyDeleteThat describes hopeless humans on the spot :)
Austin, you don't REALLY torment that other poor kitteh, do you? Tigger looks kinda sweet and friendly--think of it: You could have a Pal right on the spot!
ReplyDeleteSucker--ha ha ha -- just another synonym for Human, right? And there's another one born every minute!
Sucker..that's mean Austin but we are ROFLOAO.. We agree with Spitty, just another name for Humom!! not Human..BOL xxoxx
ReplyDeleteGemini suffers from this syndrome but she calls it Ichiro syndrome.
ReplyDeleteThat Spitty is somthing else. We like Tigger and it looks like he is a nice cat. Stop picking on him Austin. How would you feel if it was the other way around. Have a terrific week end.
ReplyDeleteThe way Binga treats Boodie, she SHOULD be like Tigger, but she is too dumb (or masochistic) to be afraid.
ReplyDeleteHey, I can't blame Austin.... he may be a dictator, but he's a benevolent one. woo woo!
ReplyDeleteAustin better not paw thwack Tigger or I shall come and give him a whooping myself! MOL.
ReplyDeleteAw, Tigger...we're glad you found a spot where you can get some sleep. Let's hope that human doesn't want to move anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteTigger darling...you come right here with my momma. Right now. You'll get petted till you hie yourself off again to get away from her incessant pets and kisses.
ReplyDeleteOh Austin...poor Tigger. This post has me ROFL!!!!
ReplyDeleteHehe, succour :)
ReplyDeleteCotton
Yep, TW is a sucker but I don't do laps.
ReplyDeleteMommy is a succiur, fOR MES! Me does laps, but Kozmo does not. Me is thiking more and more each day that yous is Kozmo's twin. He is starting to stalk me!
ReplyDeleteKisses

We love the word but would like to know more about the mysterious Tigger!
ReplyDeleteWe aren't lapcats but Mommy is still a sucker when we roll on our backs and show off our tummehs.
ReplyDeletePsst Tigger! If you can convince your Mommy to put a collar with a BELL on Austin, you can hear him before he's able to pounce on you. MOL.
LOL. I truly hope that wasn't the real definition of succour!
ReplyDeleteLet me just warn you that I am taking your vocabulary lessons seriously. ^_^
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
Oh Tigger - come over to see us and we'll make sure you get a peaceful nap.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Awww, Tigger! Austin just likes to make sure he always has a comfy spot, I bet he doesn't mean any harm!
ReplyDeleteOink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Sometimes life really succ's -- or -- in the midst of succiness, one can still find refuge and comfort. Work it Tiggs. A theme to live by.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope that don't spoil your nap time Tigger!
ReplyDeletethe word of the day was fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteYes, that is what I want a kitten.
ReplyDeleteTom says we need to get things first for the kitten so I wait!!
Love, love the word of the day! LOL
ReplyDeleteAustin this defines Mom purrfecly except I add when they have to go to the bathroom as supreme succourdum for humans
ReplyDeleteMOL!!! Sherlock suffers a similar syndrom called Mouse-phobia (he won't go near one so it's a good thing we've got Ash to do the job!)
ReplyDeleteWait, I'm not actually sure that a phobia would be classified as a syndrome....? but they do have some things in common!
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses xx xx
hey Austin, I have not seen Tigger before?? how come?? where in mouses have I been??? I like her/him?? purrs, Savannah
ReplyDeleteThis can't be a coincidence! The mom was looking up chicken cordon blue recipes for her dad's birthday earlier today. Maybe they should just crash that meal for 20.
ReplyDeleteLaps seem like a nice safe place to be sweet Tigger...enjoy every minute while you can. Hugs and nose kisses
ReplyDeleteTigger, You look pretty good sized. Maybe you just need some Ninja-boxing lessons!
ReplyDeleteYo Tigger! Yeah...enjoy that lap, my friend....hail the sucker...ooops...succour! purrr...meow!

You surely kept a good watch. Great definition too!
ReplyDeleteNubbin wiggles,
Oskar
LOL!! Priceless definition and it was so great to see Tigger!!
ReplyDeleteYou can sure turn a phrase! I was just starting to feel really bad, and then you disclose the meaning of Austin Syndrome, and we laughed hysterically.
ReplyDeleteOh, it sounds like someone has a complex :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Austin's word of the day. LOL!
ReplyDeleteTigger looks so much like my old cat Thomas I just can't believe it. He's adorable! <3
Oh, Tigger. Granny suffers from RCcaphobia...very similar condition. Olde Granny develped a strategy during her summer visit in the Sunny Room. When RC bounced in all fluffy and hissing, Granny closed her eyes and sighed, "It would be perfect except for that annoying Ghost that appears. No matter how much RC shoved and growled, Granny ignored her ( she is ancient after all)...finaly RC slunk off to whack the German...just to prove to herself she wasn't a ghost. Quite unsettled by it all
