On October 10th 2008, I had to say goodbye to my Tabby Tigger.
I have posted pictures of her with her brother in another thread. She was only 8 years old and having to make the decision she go across the rainbow bridge was agonizing.
As many of you know I went to PEI for two weeks, when I returned home , Tigger was no longer my Tigger. I could no longer reach her on an emotional level.Tigger had licked all her hair off her paws,legs and tummy, she had been on anti-anxiety drops(homeopathic)from the vet which seemed to have helped but she returned to licking off her fur and became anti-social to the point that she had gone feral and was attacking me.
She and I had quite the relationship, she knew when I was down, happy etc. I would talk to her like I would talk to another human being and I swear she knew what I was saying.
Tigger would pick up my socks and carry them around the house like a prize and meow at the same time only stopping when she found me to drop them at my feet. She always sat beside me at the pc or where ever I was and snuggled.
She always had to be around me and I was always there for her.
I will miss our talks and cuddles and her sleeping on my head.
