Our dearest Tigris

[Barbara]

Thank you for all your thoughts, the pictures and the love I can feel out of your posts. It means a lot to us. What makes it easier: there has really been no doubt about the decision.
What we cannot imagine yet: a life without Tigris.

What we cannot imagine yet: a life without Tigris.

Yes, to realize what "finality" really means takes a while... I think by not being able to imagine this during the very first days, our mind tries to protect us from despair...

I am in shock and extremely saddened right now. Tigris was also one of my favorite boycats on PT.......and now he's gone. I can't believe it since I had no idea he wasn't well.

Barbara & Siegmar. I only had the pleasure of "meeting" Tigris through your pictures and posts, but I grew to love him as one of my own. I know the pain you are suffering right now and I wish there was some way to ease it. All you can do is remember the good times and the fun memories. {{{hugs}}} to both of you.

Tigris, rest in peace sweet boy. You are missed more than you know.

Even thought I read that this was happeneing, it was a shock to see this thread.

We know that Tigris had a wonderful life, but we all wish it was longer.

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you all.

Filou will comfort you as you comfort him.

Dear Barbara, Siegmar and Filou,
My heart breaks for you over the loss of Tigris. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, and while I know it was time for him to be your angel, the time still is never right. Many hearts are breaking, many tears are flowing, and many prayers being said for you right now.

Fondly,
Johanna

Oh Barbara, I am so very sorry.
You and Siegmar will be in my thoughts and prayers. Butter wishes he could come give you a good snuggle and make you feel better.
Love
Logan (and Buttercup)

Barbara, I'm so sorry. I kept hoping that you'd receive some good news and that he'd recover. Major LES here. Even though he was with you for 13 years it's just never long enough. RIP sweet Tigris. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Hi God ~

We all know it's best to send Tigris up to You at the Bridge ...
But that doesn't help with doing it.

Please give Siegmar and Barbara the Love & strength to help Tigris
begin his big trip to Heaven.
And Help them to remember all the wonderful moments they've shared
with Dear Tigris over his lifetime.

Safe Trip, Tigris.
Save us a spot on the Bridge.

{{{Hugs}}} to Siegmar and Barbara.

I'm so sorry , Barbara and Siegmar. It's a great loss.

.......Tigris got an injection that made him sleep first and then the final one. It was easy for him and he was so ready to leave us.

Reminded me of Nakita. She looked finally free of any pain/discomfort and even though we knew it was the right decision it didn't make it any easier.

My thoughts are with the both of you (and Filou)

Barbara and Siegmar,

Tigris was such a sweet natured, happy, and loving kitty because he knew how very much you loved him. He was something special. And he still is because, along with you, Tigris will always be remembered by his PT family.

I can only imagine your heartache right now but please know that you and Filou are in my heart and prayers. May the pawprints that Tigris left on your hearts never fade

Barbara, I'm so sorry I didn't see this thread until now.
I was out of town when you first posted this thread and I haven't had time to catch up on Pet Talk until now.

I'm so sorry to hear that your handsome boy Tigris has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
He was one of my favorite PT kitties.
I know how hard it is to say goodbye to a beloved kitty after so many wonderful years together.
I'm sure Samantha will see him up at the Rainbow Bridge.
Sending hugs to you, & Siegmar & Filou too.

Sorry to learn that Tigris is no longer with us.

[rg_girlca]

I am so sorry on the loss of your beloved Tigris.

What you wrote about Filou slowly going up to Tigris to say his goodbyes just brought on LES big time.

It's so hard to say goodbye to our precious pets, even when we know it's the right thing to do.
I pray and hope that you find comfort and peace in the fond memories you made together.

Rest in Peace dear Tigris. You were so loved and will never be forgotten.
