Tiger Lily was a mackerel tabby who lived with Sharon Bennett, an HR Analyst with Facilities Management.

Name: Tiger Lily

Nickname: Lily, Lilybelle, Mrs. Furbottom, & Lily the Lion

Species/breed: Mackerel/Ticked Tabby

Age: At least 19.  She was part of our family for 18 yrs.

Fave food: Steak, salmon, sardines and June Bugs!

Special tricks: The ability to turn her tail into her archenemy: have the tail behave like an attacking snake and simultaneously fight it.   

Best quality: Her sweet and gentle nature and her propensity to play to the point of exhaustion and then flop over and sleep.

Social media platform or handle, if available: A little camera-shy, Tiger Lily, avoided the limelight but has graced Pinterest pages with her adorable pics.
