The wind storms we’re having in Richmond have knocked out the power to my apartment. Thanks all for your kind words about Tig. The apartment feels really empty today, even though he was only a shadow of himself. But I sure liked having even half-Tig around.
I’ll tell you about it later. Suffice to say that he did purr more than once on his last day, and that picture below was taken less than an hour before he died.
I spent most of yesterday out. I couldn’t bear to be here. I may leave again this afternoon. There’s no electricity, and no Tig. One or the other is bad enough. Without both, this apartment kinda sucks.
Thanks for all the kind words.
I miss my boy. He was one-of-a-kind. But I kept my contract with him. He had a happy life, and he went easily.
There will be more pictures. I have a stock of many hundreds that you haven’t seen. Digital images don’t cost a dime ’til you print them.
I have been through it myself in the last year. My guy is badly missed, and he hung on way past any prognoses. I do feel for you.
Still feeling it for you. He was mishpacha.
My condolences about Tig. You gave him a good, loving life and he gave you a cat’s love in return.
Our animal companions bring joy and hope.
And they teach us to cope.
For they live such a short time.
They prepare us for human loss.
A grand parent
A father
A mother
A sibling
Or maybe just a friend….
Sorry for your loss.
Loved because Tig loved.
Warmest Regards,

My condolences about Tig.
Tig was so photogenic. I’m looking forward to seeing more pics of him when you feel up to posting them. The pic you posted last of the two of you was just lovely.
G’bye Tig. Now you have catnip fields forever.
So that is why my pups were so frisky in their sleep on Saturday night. They were dreaming about playing with Tig.
The critters at Rainbow Bridge do visit with the critters here in their sleep. That is why you see your pets running in their sleep.
Meryl;
I am so sorry to hear about Tig. Take heart in knowing his was a life well lived, and well loved.
Make sure you give Gracie a hug as well…she may be feeling lonely right about now.
Meryl,
I am very sorry for your loss.
Much love,
Jeannie
Meryl, I am so sorry. I’ll bet my Ben is showing him around up there. Ben’s been gone since Oct. 3, 2003 and I still miss him…he had so much personality, just like Tig. Take care. It’s hard.
