I found a few more photos of Tiger Boy. Thanks go to Kem for her graphic commemorating Tiger Boy. His life was all too short but he was such a good friend. In the photo above (his constant companion, his sister, Maya Girl is on the left), you can really see Tiger Boy's lovely set of stripes. He was grey with black stripes, but he also had a lot of brown and even orange-brown on his chest--which is why I named him Tiger Boy.
Taken before Tiger Boy was a year old.
Taken about a month before he died. He was such a handsome cat!
Tiger Boy would--like most of the campus cats--rest in the shade of cars. He was wise to cars and trucks on campus, but most likely a very fast-moving car at night on the road north of campus confused him as to how fast it was approaching. He died about 200 yards away from where he was born and lived most of his short life. So wandering wasn't really the problem. Speeding drivers who also hurt children and elderly are.
Maya Girl and Tiger Boy are looking at some bugs.
