Where's Tiger? and Dog vs. Tarantula

Last summer some nasty person dumped three kittens at the end of our street. Two of them decided they liked living under our deck so we fed them, got them their shots and gave them a home. Mercedes, with the help of her neighbor friends named them Tiger and Snowflake. Tiger was the typical "scaredy cat" while Snowflake just wanted to sit in your lap. They roam the hills behind our house and the only time we'd really see Tiger was at dinnertime. Every now and then we'd find a beheaded mouse or a huge grasshopper missing its legs, compliments of the kitty's. But we haven't seen Tiger in a week now. There are many perils in the hills; we had a rattlesnake in our backyard earlier this summer. Neico and I came across a coyote just a few hundred yards from our back door. And the last 2 nights we've come across very large tarantulas. We've also heard of mountain lions snatching peoples pets. Where are you Tiger? (the kitty on the left)


Here's Neico playing with the tarantula. I think Tiger could've taken the tarantula but I'm not so sure about the rattlesnakes or coyotes.
