A Tigers Morning

I wake in the morning
Stretching out my paws and flicking my tail
Wide yawn and my day begins

Nudging my kittens
I get them ready for their first day out
Once both are up, we three leave for the day

My kittens play behind me
Catching up once when I growl
And starting the cycle over after a few moments

We find a place by a field
I go and inspect to make sure it's clear
Once I growl my approval, my kittens dash out

I lay in the shade of the trees
Watching my babies chase one another and use me as a shield
After a while, I flick my tail to get their attention

With all our stomachs rumbling
I decide it's time to feed my babies
They nurse for a moment and run off for a little more play time

More time passes
I start to get hungry myself and growl for my kittens
They come over and purr their hello and I guide them to a safe spot

I leave my babies unattended
Just for a moment to get our breakfast
I find a buffalo and snag our food

Bringing the feast back to my babies
Allowing them their fill and eating by their side
After we're done and sated, it's time for a bath

Cleaning my babies first
Then cleaning myself while they curl us beside me
After we're all clean, I think it's time for a nap
