Tiny, my childhood cat

[catnapper]

I've been thinking a lot lately about Tiny... I was 9 years old when we got him. We got him New Years Eve. At the time, we lived with my grandmom and she had a big party that night, so I stayed all night in the basement with him and brought in the New Year with my new kitten.

He was a very scardy-cat his whole life but gave my grandmom a ton of love. When my mom remarried, I couldn't take Tiny with me, so Grandmom kept him a I got to visit him every weekend. He absolutely LOVED to chase my Uncle Doug's crumpled up cigaretter packs - I don't know if it was the odor or the crinkly cellophane. And in my obsessively neat grandmom's house, you could always find crinkled up cigaretter packages everywhere.

Anyway, Tny was a special guy and I wanted to show him to you... Here he is with my grandmom.



They are both in heaven together right now. I miss both of them.

What an artful expression of love. What the love of a human can do for a cat and what the love of a cat can do for a human.

I'm glad they had eachother and you.

What a wonderful tribute; it brought tears to my eyes. That picture is beautiful and would be really nice in a frame. Thanks for sharing such a lovely story.

Tiny and Grandma are together forever and you will see them again some day.

That picture is a tear jerker. Very touching!

Thank you... he was very special to me and was the last cat I had until Allen.
I do have the picture framed and on my big wall in my office - the yellow bubble at the bottom is it!
