I am so very very sorry for your loss. I hope you and Gracie will recover from this tragic event. I hope that Tigger is in a place where he no longer has to suffer.
They stay with us for so little time, and they take our hearts with us when they go.
And all the same, the next time one puts out a little paw, turns up trusting eyes, and emits a meek little “mew” . . . it all begins again. What have we done to deserve such love?
All the Rangers are sorry for your loss. I’ve heard it said that grief is the price we pay for love. We know you loved your orangeboy and he loved you. Godspeed Tigger.
Meryl, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I enjoyed each and every photo you posted of the handsome fellow. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to you and Gracie.
A handsome cat. And much loved. Getting ill and older sucks whether human or feline; the best we can hope for is someone to care for us and love us and take care of our needs. From what I read, that’s what you gave him – he had the best.
My condolences to you on your loss. Stories about him were always a highlight because they were a bright spot in the day. He was a well-loved boy and he has a legion of fans that will miss him.
awww – damn.
It’s been about three years since I lost mine. My heart goes out to you.

So sorry for your loss. He simply was a gorgeous cat, and I have enjoyed reading about him (and his sister) over many years.

“And Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes so he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses…”
Who knows what the future may bring? If Heaven contains horses, why not cats?
Take joy in the memory of your faithful companion and guardian. You gave him a good life.

It is only when they are gone that we truly know what they brought into our lives.
They come into our lives with so little, and seem to take so much when they leave.
I look into my past and see that PETS taught me more about myself then any teach or preacher ever could.
