I have been asked to give a brief history of Master Tigger, who recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and than I shall continue the stories that my other three Masters Laptop, Shadow Ram and Charlie.
Master Tigger (actually he was really Master Tigger II as he was named after another Master of the same name) came into the life my DW in September 1992. He lived with DW and her son for several years, until DW was forced to move into back into her parents home. Master Tigger bonded with Master Oliver the Brown Bomber. Therefore, DW did not take Master Tigger with her when she moved out.
Insert several years and my appearance into DW life. We married. DW and son asked me if I had a problem with cats. Since I had two Alaskan Malamutes and two Cockatiels at the time, I said I didn't mind. I love pets of all sorts.
Right after this question, we visited friends of ours who lived on a farm. Two female Masterss gave birth the same day and kittens would suckle whoever was closest. My son went out to visit the kittens. Master Shadow Ram selected son and his primary slave. DW went out to visit and Master Laptop selected DW as his primary slave.
I chose not to visit too long as the household would be full, but a long haired sterling colored master came along.
Two dogs
Two birds
Three masters
Insert several years:
Master Oliver the Brown Bomber crossed the Rainbow Bridge, leaving Master Tigger alone. Parent people decided to allow Master Tigger to come live with DW when his kidney disease appeared, thus Master Tigger came into our lives.
Master Shadow Ram was alpha, but Master Tigger informed him that his service as taskmaster was no longer needed since he was more experienced and that he had known the slaves for a longer period of time.
Master Shadow became a minion and Master Tigger ruled.
Master Charlie entered our lives after we stopped by to visit masters at a homeless master shelter. Even homeless masters need love and attention so we stop by now and again to let other masters know they are loved.
I entered a small room with 20 masters and Master Charlie jumped up on my lap. Master Charlie had to have a leg removed because of abuse and he wanted attention. I gave him as much as he wanted. No other master jumped up on my lap.
I moved on to the next room to give more attention and DW entered the room I just left.
Master Charlie jumped up on to her lap. No other master did.
Master Charlie received all the attention he wanted and jumped off.
DW left the room and moved on to another room.
Son entered the room with Master Charlie. Master Charlie jumped up onto his lap and wanted attention. Son gave the attention.
When we all met we all remarked about what had happened. Thus the decision was made by Master Charlie that was going home with us.
Master Charlie could be considered to be a teenager and all the other masters were mature and knew how life was supposed to be in the setting they were controlling.
Master Charlie changed that until he was put into his place by all other masters and slaves. Dogs, birds and 5 masters.
Life became interesting and I reported in the "The Tigger Chronicles".
7 1/2 years of fighting kidney disease and being 20 years old took it's toll on Master Tigger. Master Tigger started looking for a small private place away from everyone which told us he was close to crossing the Rainbow Bridge and knew that he was going to cross.
Attentive and alert, but his body was giving out, so we took him to the vet. I held him in my arms, while DW drove. It would have been reversed, but I'm on the no drive order from a Dr. because I had back surgery.
I gave Master Tigger love and attention during the drive. Master Tigger enjoyed the drive and the wonders of the outside world. He was purring and looking around at everything. He complained once, when we got to the vets.
DW took over the carrying and holding and we allowed the staff to prepare him. He was purring, but quiet.
I know that he knew he was about to cross the Rainbow Bridge and he wanted to leave behind the pain.
Master Tigger crossed the bridge and the entire staff who had know Master Tigger for more than a decade called him the wonder cat for his long fight with kidney disease. They witnessed his change from a bad tempered master who would not allow a vet to examine him to one of loving everyone who treated him nicely. Those who had to give him a shot or cause pain were looked upon with a nasty look, but he would no longer try to rip off arms and legs. Several vets/staff received head bonks and purring until shots or blood draws.
Everyone suffered from parting is such sweet sorrow, but we all know it was best.
Life with three masters is now quite a bit different. Younger and trying to figure out who is alpha. Masters trying to take food away from you. An example was green beans. We knew that we can't give anything to a master that has garlic, so I offered a green bean to Master Shadow and Master Laptop.
They enjoyed eating the green beans. Wonder of wonders. So to make up for no fish, I made toast.
They grabbed and gobbled and whined for more the the three pieces I gave them.
All of us are coping and discussing Master Tigger of what he liked to do, eat and his life with our horde that has shrunk to 3 masters.
Master Tigger will join Master Sterling, Lady, Sunshine, Sitka and Kaitu on the mantle to look upon us when they wish.
and I shall report on the lives and antics of Masters Laptop, Shadow Ram and Charlie.
