Tigger's Tribute
Nov 20, 2002 to Aug 31, 2019
Seven years ago, you left us, Tigger, but your legacy as the best gentleman kitten ever lives on. Thank you, Britt, for letting us keep Tigger as Mustangg Sally's buddy.
The Backpack Surprise: Britt came home from school with a little fur ball hidden away in her backpack, while Momma Cat Ginger kept sniffing the bag until Britt finally opened her bedroom door that night to reveal her playing with a little orange kitten.
From Misty to Tigger: First named Misty, a trip to the vet revealed he was actually a boy, so his name changed to Tigger—also known as Puss in Boots because those cheeks of his were just so cute to touch and kiss.
Basement Ceiling Antics: Tigger used to go up into the basement ceilings, and the family always had to use his food to coax him back down.
The Gentle Healer: He was a true gentleman cat who, when he was just a kitten, actually got Momma Cat Ginger to purr again after the family lost their toy poodle, Laadee.
A Heartbroken Farewell: When Mustangg Sally passed away, Tigger didn't know where she was. He meowed all day long calling for her, stopped eating and sleeping, and stared into the sky, entering a devastating state of grief that short-circuited his little body. Because he was suffering so profoundly and pined away for his best friend, the heartbreaking emergency vet hospital decision was made to release him from his pain.
Now you aren't suffering anymore, Tigger, and you are running free over the rainbow bridge with Momma Cat Ginger and Mustangg Sally.
We also ask you, Tigger, to be a gentleman to honor your hooman Momma's pet dog, Dixie, who just passed away on August 26, 2019. She'll need guidance to greet others and settle into her new home across the bridge, and you are the absolute best cat for the job, just like you helped Mamma Cat Ginger purr again.
Forever loved and never forgotten.
With love forever from your hooman parents
