Sandy...I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

[dansangel]

I'm so sorry. My heart aches for you and your loss.

[PilloryHillary]

What a sweetie. Tigger looks just like our kitty, Harmony. I love it when they sleep on their side/backs. What a sweet kitty....So sorry you lost your Tigger!!

I'm sorry to hear about your cat. She was cute.

I hope this helps, Sandy

FROM TIGGER TO MOM

Mom misses me again today.
I heard her cry a few days ago from far away.
She thinks that there's a reason or rhyme.
Though put very simply, it was my time.

I wish it was longer, her love was the best.
Even if Phoebe, Tom and I sometimes put her to the test.
There was always time to savor her love.
From an interrupted nap and a lift from above.

To nuzzle Mom's smooth cheek and chin.
Away from the big room's loud noisy din.
Feeling soft words and fingers deep in my fur.
Mom misses me as much as I miss her.

On our hearts it is so deeply written.
To share her love Mom needs a very special kitten.
Neither to big nor too small. With eyes green and bright. One at first sight, she'll be instantly smitten.

I'll join you in celebrating and in grieving the too short life of Tigger. My favorite kitty died the Sunday after 911, peacefully, of old age. At times I still sense her 'presence' at night as I go to sleep. More than likely it's the imprint she left on my heart instead of her actual presence.

[Springman]

Up past my bedtime, to say my wife and I are sorry to hear about your loss.

Hope there is a Kitty heaven, because if there is, she will be playing w/my kitty.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Sorry to hear about your loss,Sandy!

[repinwi]

I'm a little late, but I just wanted you to know you're not alone. Nor is Tig, he's with our cat Fish playing in kitty heaven.

You are right though, when I went to fill the hole in my heart with a new kitten, I ended up walking out with 2! Meet Moo Moo and George. Now I have a total of 4 cats. They helped me in healing the sadness. We wish you happiness soon!

"...taken from us way too soon..."

I know how you feel. We lost our Oma, a stray taken in on a dark and stormy night in 1997, suddenly to mega-bowel syndrome and colon cancer, all in a space of two days just before Christmas of 2002. The doctor called to tell me that there was nothing that could be done and that she was suffering quite badly. She was eased out of life while purring in my arms. I cried constantly for the next two weeks, and made arrangements with the vet to visit the clinic to be able to just pet and hold their "office" cats.

We found Mitzi on the 4th of July, 2003, eyes just barely opened and still nursing .. we had to buy a baby animal bottle to feed her .. on our doorstep, obviously abandoned by her mother and, as I saw it, a gift for my recovery from Oma. We called her Mitzi (as in Itzy-Bitzy Mitzi) because she was so very very tiny .. just five ounces when we adopted her.

We kept her in a covered playpen in our sitting room for the next few months, as she had to wear an elizabethan collar to keep her from licking an open wound on her right flank. She's now 11 pounds and the happiest, feisty-ist cat.
