WEll, it is a year today since I lost Tiger, I have just sat and read through this thread, so am in tears at the moment, and have just hugged Molly so she has dived off my knee!! Soo much has happened since Tiger left that it is hard to think of that last week with her, although that might be a good thing. RIP little one, I wonder if your original owner has joined you yet?

Bit of a sad week, as I got the final payout from the insurance company today. And I had to tell a friend yesterday and got upset, and still got one more person to tell this week, so am going to be in tears again then.

 :( We are so very sorry for you and send you a big :hug:.  I have a little poem that keeps running around in my head and although it may not all be true to you I would like to share it anyway.

I miss you more as each day dawns
the tears begin to flow.
The heartache that I feel inside, no one will ever know,
You gave me all you had to give,
gifts, both great and small..........
but most of all...
you gave your love......
The GREATEST gift of all

R.I.P. little one

Thanks - I think I am being more emotional due to it being PEbbles anniversary on Tues. I was fundraising today (well, supposedly, but there wasn't enough people, so just sat talking instead!!), and was talkign to one of their fundraisers and it brought a tear to my eye!!

They certainly do - it was 2 weeks today since I lost her.
She looks it on all the pics I have of her - there were things she didn't like, such as the fuss I made her have!!

Just come across an unexpected picture of Tiger, and made me feel a bit weepy. She does look happy in the pic though, so need to make myself realise that she had a good time here, for the most part, and while it would have been nice for her to see a second Christmas, at least she got one good one here.

Sleep easy, Tiger  :hug:

I am sorry for your loss Desley - I remember meeting Tiger when I came to see you and your kitties.
You can be happy knowing that Tiger had 15 happy months with you and was given so much love, rather than the end she could have had without you.

I hope you get your rainbow so you know she arrived safe at the bridge

Thanks for all the lovely comments, she certainly was loved, and wanted by me, for some reason, I seem to like these fiesty tabbies!! She was lucky that her owner rang my vet (he wasn't one of their clients) as I dont know if she would have had as good a life if he had rang someone else, and god bless the receptionist for convincing him to relinquish her to a rescue, sadly she was too temperamental to rehome, it took months before she stopped hiding when people came round, and even when she didn't hide, they all had to be warned to be careful at touching her.  Even my vet didn't trust her this week, she was allowing fusses but you could see the warines in the vets eyes - mind you, she did have a sedated Tiger hanging from her arm earlier in the year, so I can't quite blame her! Also luckily for her, I accepted that was what she was like, and loved her to bits regardless, so was quite glad really that we couldnt rehome her, as it meant I got to keep her.

Des so sorry for your loss its never an easy decision and not one you made without trying every avenue for your girl.

She had love on her terms and that meant that you gave as much as she let you and that means she had a lovely home, lots of treats and a Mummy who loved her for her not what she wasn't.

Another special babe at the bridge and one who will be sorely missed by all of us she had the pleasure of entertaining

Always a pawprint in your heart

So sorry Desley  :'( :'( :'(  Cats, who'd have em eh?  Tiger knew the good life for the last 15 months and it's down to you. It is always the "troublesome" ones that leave the bigger space. She's free of pain now and you did the kindest thing for her. Another tearful start to the day here in Brum. Really feel for you  :hug:

Desley your story about Tiger brought tears to my eyes.  How she resisted love that she probably really wanted and did give you little tidbits from time to time.  Tiger was a very very lucky cat to have found you to care for her for the last 15 months.  You made the most unselfish and loving of decisions and Tiger knows how much she was loved and cherished by you.  RIP sweet TIger, I have grown quite fond of you over the last weeks from your mummy's posts.  Hope you are happy at RB and your mummy knows you did love her :hug: :hug:
