The Orange Kitty

It was a really rough night last night, as we had to put down Tigger -- Emma's cat of 16 years.

Tigger moved with Em from Canyon Country to Saugus, then to our apartment in Valencia, then another apartment in Valencia, and then our home in Valencia.

Needless to say, she's traveled and tolerated her share of dogs -- 5 of them?

Before Thanksgiving, the vet told us Tigger was in the advanced stages of renal failure and she wasn't expected to see the New Year.

Fast forward four months later and Tigger was a fighter.

Last night, Em and I were thinking back to our first apartment and how Bella and Tigger would play in the halls. You might remember this video...

We're really sad to see her go. She was a good friend to Em; faithful and loyal. 

And she was the only cat that didn't make my eyes swell in fits of allergy rage. So.. there was that too.

So sorry for your loss. What a sweet video. She looked like a great cat.

Well to me, she was the "mystery cat", rarely coming out to visit:), praying the hurt gets a little less each day.
