Hi Everyone,
This is my first post here but I feel I need to talk to people who understand. We found Tigger as a tiny kitten on the kerb of a motorway. I fell in love instantly, with this tiny black kitten with the sparkling gold eyes. Even our 4 year old burmuse Pooh, who is quite aloof, quickly took to the little rascal. He used to let Tigger beat him up and tig became like a brother/son to pooh. Tigger was the most loving, outgoing, playful and beautiful cat anyone could ever ask for. A year later, we moved into another rural house, which came with two old cats we now live with, and Tigger was always winding them up. When we got our little Jack Russell, Tigger and her loved playing together. But then on the 26 March this year, Tigger went missing. We searched everywhere, posted on everything we could think. 7 weeks later, our dog had discovered him. The black hair on the lawn was obviously him. We think he was hit by a car and crawled under the extensive bush at the bottom of our garden. We had a lovely ceremony the next day, we buried his hair in a flower pot, it was heartbreaking but gave us some closure I suppose.
I just miss him so much, he was a diamond to me and the star of the show with all the other animals too. He would have been 2 this month and it kills me that such a young and special cat could just go like that. I wish I could have been there to help him. I hope he didn't suffer and that he wasn't too afraid. We searched the garden but we didn't go deep into the bushes. He was a vocal and outgoing cat so I didnt think silence mode applied. But above all he was a cat. He loved hunting. He loved playing. He loved making biscuits and licking my dressing gown. He loved annoying the older cats. He loved food especially cheese. He wasn't big into climbing, he wasn't into laps cept mine but he always hated cars. I miss him, he was my animal-soul mate.
I admired him, he knew how to live. He was never afraid. He was Tigger.
I really hope I haven't upset anyone, I just miss the little guy everyday.
Condolances to everyone on here who have lost their friend.
Always remember they were loved and they loved and that's all that matters in this life.

So sorry for your loss. It's always hard to lose a fur baby but one so young is especially heartbreaking. Thank you for giving Tigger the best possible life for the short time he was here. RIP, Tigger.
