What an extraordinarily handsome face. Good luck on your surgery today and maybe when you feel better and eating, can have some treats.

Well I just called about Tigger and he is just now waking up and trying to sit up.

Poor little guy...they did say they found some tapeworms around his butt. So they gave him an injection for that.

Poor baby. I'm going to be picking him up around 5:45 p.m. so he will be well rested and probably ready for some food by the time we get home.

I am so happy to hear that he is doing well, but they will tell you to only let him have some water when he gets home, no food. I always gave mine a little bit of wet food about 4-5 hours later and the next day, went back to their regular feeding.

Please give him some healing kisses for me.

My vet that I took all of my other animals too never said anything about that she just told me they would be tired and they will probably want to sleep most of the night which they usually ended up doing but I always put the food out.

I hope I wasn't wrong in doing so.

What a sweet kitty! I wish I could be there to make him purr. Glad to hear he's doing well.

Melissa, I am not saying you did the wrong thing. It's just that after all 6 of my boys were neutered and even when the females were spayed, I was told when I went to get them, not to give them food that night, just water. They said because they could be sick from the anesthetic. Maybe each vet is different in their decisions on this.

Yes, they do sleep for a few hours, but with the boys, before I went to bed, they were up and running around like nothing happened to them. That's why I gave them just a little bit of wet food before I went to bed, to help ease their hunger.

Well Tigger made is through the night just fine. This morning he's doing just fine.

Thank you all for your prays and hopefully this weekend he will be able to join Jenn in Allentown.

I'm so glad to hear that Tigger got a clean bill of health and that his neutering went well.

Thanks so much for helping this sweet little guy.

I'm sure he'll have no problems finding his new loving forever home. Please continue to keep us updated about him.

**Anikaca77** · 09-08-2007, 05:28 AM

Well today I'm going to be taking Tigger to Allentown so he can stay with Jenn.

I'm really going to miss him

I want to keep him so bad but with 6 cats already I just can't. I know it's best for Tigger and my guys as well.

I'm just so sad about it and I didn't think I'd feel this way. I thought I knew the situation going into this that Tigger was just temporary and that's it but man why is it hurting so bad.

I'm sitting crying at 6:27 a.m. and I have to leave here by 7 a.m. so that way I can meet Jenn in Allentown at about 10 a.m. so give Tigger to her.

I'm going to miss him so much.

Well, Tigger is here in Allentown! He is a sweet boy! He's sniffing around the room I put him in. It's my "library" room, and has all my book shelves and things in it. There's tons of shelves to lounge on, there are two windows to recline in, and a big comfy office chair that is in there as well. There isn't any AC in the room, but I do have a big fan in there to catch some air between the windows. If he warms up to me, I'll see about letting him in my bedroom for a bit as well (where there is AC!), or up with Sassy on the 3rd floor. I just want to keep him isolated for a bit to make sure he has no tapeworms left, and no fleas either!

Will get some pics of him later on. He is very pretty, with medium length hair and a floofy tail. I definitely think he needs to gain weight, I totally agree with Melissa on that one! He looks really young.... like a maine coon that isn't totally developed into it's coat yet. I don't think I would have thought him to be 2 years old yet.

Gonna go check on the newbie... will give more details later!!

PS.. It was great to meet you Melissa!! Did you and your mom do anything fun while here in Allentown??

I Have Never Found That My Cats Who Come Out Of Surgery Want To Rest At All.
They Want To Run And Play. Michael Was Waeving A Bit From His Dental But Would He Sit Down Like A Good Cat?

Nnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
We Are Praying So Very Hard For Tigger.
To Me He Has A Little Moose In Him.

I'm happy to hear that everything went well and sweet Tigger is doing okay. I can't wait to see more pictures of him.

**Medusa** · 09-08-2007, 06:13 PM

It's never easy to part w/a furkid. I cried so hard when I found homes for the outdoor kitties that I used to take care of. But it was for the best and now when I think about them, I smile instead of cry. And you will, too. Plus you can talk to Jenn or email back and forth. Prayers to you and Tigger and Jenn.
