Oh my... NO....I am so sorry to hear this news! I am crying as I type this. RIP little Tigger, RIP.
Know that you made the right decision. You were right when you said that you didn't want to see him in pain. He is now painfree, and playing at the RB with our other PT RB kitties. I am so sorry for your loss.
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry that this happened to Tigger and can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling right now. This was definitely too sudden. Please know we are all here for you.
**hugs**
I am so, so sorry to hear this. Rest in peace, sweet Tigger.
Oh no - I am so very sorry to hear about Tigger. I've always loved his freckled nose.
RIP Tigger - there are many friends waiting to show you around.
Robyn, I am very sorry your sweet boy went so quickly. You'll meet up with him again some day. ((((hugs))))
I still remeber with sadness when BJ the Siamese started to stagger.I went to call the Emergency Vet , and a friend to drive us there.
This took about 10 minutes, and when I came back BJ had passed on.
I felt so bad, that he can gone so fast.
Tigger was such a Great Big Orange Cat, Micheal and Miquelito are especially sad.He will be with us when we go to Nugget Angels Mandarin, where Tigger will get the honor of the first plate at the serving tables.
And he will still be with you, the way BJ is with us all.
And you will be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge.
One Fine Day.
When a loved one goes suddenly, be it pet or human, it is extremely difficult for those left behind. But this is SO good for Tigger - he went quickly, didn't suffer, didn't have to adapt to a handicap (which is possibly harder than having one from birth) and didn't have to deal with a slow down hill progression. You made the right decision; no one ever said the right thig was always going to be easy.
I am so sorry for your loss. Dear Tigger was well loved and cared for, and that counts for a LOT. My thoughts are with you this evening. And for Tigger, have a great time at RB!!
I know he'll find my Divot at the Rainbow Bridge and that they are romping free of pain and healthy. I can't tell you how bad I feel for you, Here is something I wrote when Divot left for the Bridge. Maybe it can ease your poor heart a bit.
When sorrow stretches out extended arms,
she grabs up everyone of us she sees,
seduces us with false and fleeting charms
that bring us way down to our trembling knees.
She crushes us and scarcely lets us breathe;
her taloned fingers rake our bodies raw;
she pushes us down under seas that seethe;
we feebly try to slip her grasp and law.
One day so wearied by struggles long,
we see a tiny glimpse of sun above;
we hear the sweet strains of a simple song,
and we remember what there was of love.
And slowly slowly new dawn does arrise,
and we at long last can wipe our eyes.

I don't post here often but I had to say how terribly sorry I am for your loss. Tigger was such a handsome boy; you must be completely devestated. It hurts so much; I am getting LES just thinking about what you are going through.
I am so, so sorry you are having to go through this. Peace to you and headbutts in sympathy from Abby and Suki.
I've been thinking of Tigger and Emma the past few days and how I haven't heard much from them in a while. So I'm deeply saddened to hear that Tigger has passed on. Tigger was one of my favourites on Pet Talk and I always enjoyed seeing pictures of the handsome orangie fella. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh no!!! I'm so very sorry! Rest in peace, dear Tigger! :(
I am so sorry about your boy Tigger!! When I ready your initial post, the VERY first thought was that he threw a clot and it was blocking the artery that goes to the legs. I am so sorry. Sleep softly, dear Tigger...
I know just how you feel. Here is something I wrote when I lost my Sweet orange boy Divot. I hope it gives you some comfort:

Oh no! Poor sweet Tigger boy...he is now pain free at the Rainbow Bridge and my little Bitz kitten is up there showing him all the good places to sleep. I mourn for your loss. I almost felt like I knew Tigger...
RIP sweet sweet boy :(
I am so very sorry. I just now saw this. I know nothing will get rid of the pain. When it's unexpected like that, it's harder to accept. Just know that we are here for you. I know too well the pain of having to make that choice. Rest peacefully, Tigger. You were well loved.
