A CAT called Tiger is our pet of the week.

He lives in Higher Fold, Leigh, with his owner Leeanne Clapham and her three children.

The family got Tiger after their nine-month-old kitten died.

Leeanne, 29, said: “We got Tiger when he was just six weeks old because my 10-year-old son Joshua, who has learning difficulties, got very attached to our previous cat.

"When the cat died he was devastated.

“He was so tiny when we first got him but he really adds to our family. We love him to bits.

“He is very boisterous and energetic but is a great family pet.

“His favourite things to do are watching Joshua play on video games, playing in the grass and watching our two pet guinea pigs in their cage.”
