I am so very sorry to hear about your Tigger...So many PT'ers have been losing their babies lately...

About the Science Diet food connection...It does make one wonder doesn't it? After all that weirdness the last several years about pet food from overseas, it's a wonder all of us aren't all feeding our pets homemade food. We lost our Billy last year to chronic renal failure, but that had been going on for years and he hadn't been eating Science Diet until the last year or so of his life (our vet put him on the k/d, but he refused to eat it, so we stopped giving it to him, shortly after we started). I'm going to call my vet tomorrow to find out if they know anything about more problems with the Science Diet lines. It is scary and thanks for the heads up.

I know how much you are all missing your sweet Tigger...What a handsome boy he was. As awful as this all is, just remember that most if not all of us have been where you are now, and that you aren't alone...We are all sending hugs and prayers for you all and for your Tigger. He's busily playing happily at the RB right now with all the rest of his new friends who have welcomed him there, and even though he isn't physically with you, he will never really leave you... He is with you in spirit every day, and he will always love you.

As for not getting another cat, I understand how you feel, but please don't close the door on that possibility...I know you don't want to be in the position you're in now, and don't want to miss another cat like you're missing Tigger...But just think what joy and love he brought to your life...Can you imagine having missed out on that? I have had several cats in my life, but Billy was the most special to me, and when we lost him last June ('08), it truly broke my heart...I'm still not over it, and I don't think I ever will be, but I am so very grateful for the other beloved kitties that we still have...We have 4 (they have all been strays...the latest showed up last December, right before Christmas), and they have been so wonderful to have to love even though we all miss Billy and always will. There are so many wonderful cats out there that need loving homes, so please try to keep that possibility open for the future...In time you may feel differently. In the meantime, cherish your memories of your Tigger, and know that he will always love you and wants you to be happy...God bless you and Tigger!!

I can't believe that two weeks ago today we said goodbye to Tigger and that tomorrow marks the 2 weeks since Tigger passed away. I am doing better. I had one cry spell today, first since last Wednesday.

Luckily Peaches let me hug her and she even purred. She is such a sweet and loving cat even though her and Tigger rarely got along.
