So you think your roommate is the Dal Tiger? No worries, the Mackerel is here to help guide your suspicions with five easy ways to tell if your roommate really is that furry feline.
- A sudden interest in Dalhousie sports teams. If all of the sudden your roommate is asking you if you’re going to the field hockey game or who won the basketball game, there is probable cause to suspect they could be the Dal Tiger. Realistically, if they’re into any Dal sports team without hooking up with someone on the team, you should be a little suspicious.
- They smell. If you think the inside of that costume is regularly cleaned, you would be wrong. Putting that furry head on for even a minute will result in a unique smell that will attach itself to you like no other. If your roommate is a little smelly, there’s a good chance they could be the Dal kitty.
- They’re into cosplay. If your roommate is really into the local cosplay scene, run. You have much bigger problems on your hands than if they are secretly the Dal Tiger. It’s too late for them but you may be able to save yourself.
- They’ve started watching cheerleading documentaries on Netflix. I like America’s Sweethearts and Cheers as much as the next person but it’s a little late to be hopping on that trend. If they’ve started doing this and any of the things mentioned previously, you should look into how much a private investigator costs.
- You found the Dal Tiger head in their closet. If you found this, congratulations, your suspicions were correct. If not, your roommate is probably a serial killer. Either way, better start looking for new living accommodations.
