Tiger the prince my best feline friend ? 1999 - Feb. 17th, 2015

[luvofallhorses]

I know I don't post here at all any more; but I said goodbye to Tiger on Tuesday evening as the vet confirmed he was dying. I thought I'd let you all know since I shared stories of him here. On Monday in the middle of the night he didn't eat very much and nearly refused his treats which was his favorite thing ever. Then I knew something was horribly wrong because if he's refusing treats, that's not like Tiger he has never refused treats for as long as I have had him. He was cat of the day on July 22nd, 2007 (I had him 2 years then) and I will share the link here.

It's really hard for me to write this because I can't explain in words how much he meant to me but if you have had a heart animal you just know. He was my world, my loyal and faithful friend for almost 10 years. He didn't have the best life before he came to me as I adopted him when he was 5 years old but I promised him as long as he is with me he would have the best life possible. And, he did. I loved him until he left his ailing body and I know he loved me too. And you know, almost 10 years doesn't seem long enough but every day he was loved and every day we spent together was a treasure. He was the sweetest cat I have ever known and he loved everyone he met but he made it clear to everyone I was his person and he was my heart.

It was so hard to say goodbye and I wish I could have kept him forever but this cruel world doesn't work that way and I couldn't let him suffer. I know he's my guardian angel now and will watch over me until I see him again one fine day. I'll share his cat of the day of the link for the bio I wrote about him and some pictures as I can't write much more without crying. I love you so much Tiger and I miss you. Also please don't say I'll get another cat again... because it hurts too much right now. Miagi & Angel need me.















This photo shows perfectly the bond we shared.

What a beautiful boy you are, Tiger.. and what a beautiful, touching tribute your so dearly loving and beloved friend has written about you. Such lovely photographs, too.

I am so sorry. My deepest sympathy to you and all who love and grieve Tiger so very much. May your precious memories and keepsakes help to bring you comfort.

You and he shared a wonderful time together on earth. Now Tiger is a glorious Angel, whole and healthy again at the Rainbow Bridge. You and he are together always, and you know he will welcome you Home.. One Fine Day..

Dearest Tiger, please send some purrs to the heart of your dear friend to reassure her that all is well and you are always with her.

God bless you all.

My deepest sympathy for your loss of Tiger - he was a sweet boy, indeed. I, too know how you feel. Tiger was lucky to find you and live ten years in good care and comfort. I can tell he enjoyed it very much.

Take care!

Rest in peace, dear Tiger!

(((hugs)))

I'm so sorry about your precious Tiger.

I, too, have lost my cat, so I know all too well the terrible pain you are going through. Tiger was a beautiful, loving, boy and I can see the deep bond the two of you shared in the pictures you posted. The pain will eventually lessen, but the love never, ever, will.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet boy.

I am so sorry for your loss, had a wee cry myself for you. So sorry honey.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Tiger sadly another one of our Dear Pet Talk Friends to pass on.
Tiger will be at home with My senior Cat Angels, Mr Scrappy , Moose , Juke Joint Joseph , Princess and My Siamese 6 Pack and all of the many Porch Angels.
It is hard for those who have no feelings for Animals to understand but the bond between Pet Lovers and Pets is a strong one and we feel so helpless when our beloved Friends are going to leave us.
Tiger is going to sunny California to get his wings with Our Eternal Awesome Companion Angels and will find a place where we will all be united.
One Fine Day.
