Tigger
Tigger was our old man, and will be dearly missed.
We were grateful he let us share his full life here on earth.
But now we are feeling very, very empty.
Everything about our daily routine revolved around him...lol.
He would wake me to feed him, he would then demand that each of us hold his water glass while he drank after we showered.
We would have to make him a beddie before we left for work. (3 pillows in a triangle shape which included his favourite blue pillow.)
We would then come home from our jobs, which we go to every day in order to buy him cat food, and be directed to feed him before we did any other task.
We would have to sit and pet him after he ate. He would demand to sleep on a certain position in the bed on his blue pillow.
Then the next morning would start exactly the same at 3:30.
He was a real pain in the ass!
And we miss him dearly!!!!
He was our old man.
Came home last night and he couldn't even walk to us. He was tired of fighting his year long battle with kidney failure.
It was time and he was telling us. He wasn't scared and he passed very peacefully in our arms at the vet.
He will be with all his brothers in heaven (Homer and Sturgis), who I might add, that he bossed them around all the time too....lol.
Nothing like seeing a 10 lb cat bossing around Saint Bernards.
They watched over him in life and i am sure they will help him on his path.
We will see you again my baby boy but i miss you terribly now.
PEACE MY FRIEND
