Tiger month can be one heck of a ride. Claws are out, fangs are sharpened, and people are ready to pounce! The energy of this animal is strong, fierce, and assertive. And if you have a Tiger in your life (or are one yourself) you know exactly what we’re talking about. Here are five tips for getting along with a Tiger, whether it’s your spouse, your boss, or your best friend:

• Be loyal. If you want to make good with a Tiger, you’re going to have to be a loyal partner. Tigers need to know that you’re there for them in their darkest hour (or even when they need you for something small). Make sure you don’t befriend a Tiger’s enemies, as she’ll consider it a slight against her.
   
• Stand up for yourself. True, Tigers tend to want to dominate, but they will respect a person that stands up to them. Show that you are willing to listen to their ideas but draw boundaries if necessary.
   
• Don’t be boring. The one thing any Tiger needs in her life? Adventure! Don’t even think about leading a boring existence. Your Tiger will be nowhere to be found. Keep things interesting and fresh. Suggest crazy trips or plan wild adventures. As long as you keep a Tiger on her toes, she’ll stick around.
   
• Accept ideas, gifts, and generosity. When a Tiger does you a favor, you should realize that, in her mind, it’s from the heart and is done with good intentions. Accept a Tiger’s compliments. Say thank you if she gives you a gift. Listen to her ideas openly. Otherwise, she might take it as a personal insult.
   
• Don’t question. If there’s one thing a Tiger can’t stand, it’s somebody questioning her actions, intentions, or loyalty. Have faith in your Tiger. All she really needs is to know that you believe in her.
