In the most recent episode of the popular web series Celebrity Pet Talk, actor Romeo Tan made an appearance with his beloved Mini Schnauzer named Tigger, who is 10 years old. During the show, Romeo asked the pet communicator, Pearlyn Siew, if Tigger had anything to communicate to him.
Siew amusingly responded that it seemed as though Tigger had actually chosen Romeo as her owner, rather than the other way around. This remark sparked curiosity in Romeo, leading him to inquire about a possible connection between Tigger and his maternal grandmother.
Siew explained that she sensed a strong bond between Tigger and Romeo’s maternal grandmother’s soul. It seemed as though the soul of Romeo’s grandmother wanted to remain close and provide support for his mother.
Romeo, aged 36, contemplated discussing this revelation with his mother, wondering if she had experienced any unique encounters or connections with Tigger. Siew acknowledged the close relationship between Tigger and Romeo but mentioned that Tigger appeared to feel even closer to Romeo’s mother.
Siew suggested that one reason for Tigger’s special bond with Romeo’s mother might stem from the fact that she initially cared for Tigger when Romeo first brought her home. Romeo shared that Tigger was his first dog and he had surprised his mother by bringing her home from a pet shop without prior notice.
Recalling the incident, Romeo admitted that his mother wasn’t initially pleased with the sudden addition of a new family pet. To avoid his mother’s nagging, he swiftly placed Tigger in a box at the front door and requested his mother to take care of her while he rushed off to rehearsals for the Star Awards.
Romeo humorously mentioned that it was his tactic to escape his mother’s complaints. However, over time, his mother grew accustomed to Tigger’s presence and gradually developed a fondness for dogs.
During the conversation with Siew, Tigger sat attentively in front of Romeo, gazing at him. Romeo expressed his admiration for the affectionate way Tigger looked at him, describing her eyes as filled with love. He also mentioned how Tigger would often sit by his feet while he read his scripts or worked on his homework, a gesture he found endearing.
Playfully, Romeo asked Tigger if she enjoyed physical contact, to which she responded by giving him an affectionate lick on the face.
