Tigger 4-5-93 - 10-16-06

My precious baby girl passed away peacefully just after 4pm this afternoon. Her daddy and I were by her side holding her and whispering softly how much we love her as she made her way to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. She passed with her head in my hands, very gently and very peacefully.

My sweet princess, there was nothing more that I could do for you. There was no trying to make you comfortable. The glint and glimmer that was always in your eyes was gone and I knew in my heart that I could no longer be selfish. Daddy and I enjoyed 13 + years with you. You made every day bright and we already miss you dearly.

The last gift that I could give to you was to restore your body and soul by helping you to pass. I knew when you started purring as we waited that it was the right thing for you, and as the vet tech held you in her arms before taking you away...that glint was back in your eyes and I knew that you had made your journey and were already playing and making friends.

Godspeed Tigger Lou...kiss Tony when you see him again. You are with us in spirit and will return to us as ashes in a few days.

Thank you everyone for the prayers that you sent Tigger's way...the prayers and thoughts...I know that with these thoughts and prayers I was able to be strong and I was able to give her one last gift. She would not have wanted to suffer and when I came home from work this afternoon I knew that it was time....she was not the Tigger that I had always known.

Here are some of the last pictures that I took with her over this very special weekend.

This is the photo that will go in front of her ashes. She will be reunited forever with her beloved brother Tony. The way that I will always remember the two of them together.

Thank you for letting me share with all of you. :(

Meg,

I am so sorry for the loss of Tigger Lou. I absolutely love the last picture of the two of them. Like two bookends. I'm glad you got to spend some special time with her.

You did the right thing, honey.

RIP sweet Tigger :(

Oh gosh talk about LES. That picture of daddy saying goodbye really did me in. I am so, so sorry on the loss of your beloved Tigger. :(
I know how hard it was for you to say goodbye. You loved her so much to not let her suffer any more and to let her go peacefully while laying in your arms.

I pray and hope that you find comfort and peace in the fond memories you made together.

Rest in Peace sweetheart and have fun playing on the RB with Tony.

(((BIG HUGS)))
I am so sorry about Tigger.She died having lived a full life a life full of love and joy with you.
RIP dear Tigger.

What a touching tribute and photos!!! Despite her tiny size, one can tell that she was such a BIG part of your lives!!! Her love will surround you, and Tigger is grateful you made the brave choice on her behalf!! Sleep softly, tiny Tigger...

Rest in peace at Rainbow Bridge pretty Tigger. ((((HUGS)))) to your Mom & Dad.

RIP and play hard at the RB now that you are reunited with Tony. LES going big time here :( I'm so sorry for your loss, but you knew it was the right time. I love the picture that you're going to put on her ashes.

Oh dear Meg, I know your pain. I know the "look". I know "the end". and I know the saddness. :(

Tigger spent a terrifc life and your memories of her will only get sweeter with time.

{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

Still that sweet beautiful face, ill or not. Watching Daddy's expression, even the little I could see, broke my heart.

LES here. You know you did the right thing, and Tigger told you when it was time.

Wishing you an easing of pain, and wonderful warm memories of her? What else could they be but warm and loving?

HUGS to you both.

I am so sad, tears are streaming down my face. I followed your thread in the Cat forum. I am glad you had some time together. Believe me, you NEVER forget them!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your special girl. Even when you know that letting go is the best thing--the only thing--that you can do, it's still heartbreaking.

Rest gently, sweet Tigger. I hope you and your brother Tony are having a wonderful reunion at the RB.

I'm so sorry. What a wonderful tribute for a wonderful cat. RIP sweet Tigger.

Meg I am so very sorry. I'm fighting back the tears as I type this. I know Tigger's your special girl and you will miss her very much. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rest in Peace sweet Tigger. Play hard at the Bridge with your brother Tony.

I'm so very sorry that you had to say Good-bye to your Tigger! It certainly hurts and stings now, I know. :(

Yet, Your Memorial was so " Beautifully Phrased" and "Comforting to Read'


Tigger and Tony are together~ May They Rest In Peace~
