Sweet Tiger

My handsome Tiger wants us to continue our relationship. He sent me another poem...........................

Memory Lane Sent: Wed Jan 20

Taking a walk on memory lane
isn’t all that gray.
Taking a walk on memory lane
I see the sun rays.

Taking a walk on memory lane
isn’t all full of tears.
Taking a walk on memory lane
I have no fear.

Taking a walk on memory lane
not a drop of rain in sight.
Taking a walk on memory lane
Every thing is alright.

Taking a walk on memory lane
is where I want you to come along.
Taking a walk on memory lane
is where we belong all lifelong.

*wipes water off her diary entry* He has such a loving heart. It's hard for me to get used to his being an angel. He still looks and smells the same. He still loves me. I know he went to Hammock Talk last evening at Over the Rainbow. Kassie even made sure there was Catnip Ale for him. I think he enjoyed himself. He said that Logan and Bill were there.

I think I'm going to be all right. I don't feel so empty anymore. I know Tiger will always be with me.

Mom got an email this morning from Miss Phyl. Tiger wanted me to know that he had to be taken to the vet at 3 a.m. this morning. They weren't sure of his problem, but he had been treated for IMHA. It's something that causes his immune system to attack his red blood cells.

I talked to him at noon, and he said he was feeling pretty good. Sparkle notified RNB that Tiger had crossed the Bridge about 4:30. Neither of us thought this was serious, so this was such a shock. He had only been ill a couple of days. My sweet, gentle, poet, who treated me like a princess and never missed an opportunity to lavish me with love and kisses so gone. My heart is beyond aching. I feel totally lost and empty.

Rules I try to live by.....The 10 Commandments of Cats

And the Cat said. . .

1. Thou shalt not jump onto the keyboard when thy human is on the computer.

2. Thou shalt not unroll all of the toilet paper off the roll.

3. Thou shalt not project hairballs from the top of the refrigerator.

4. Thou shalt not sit in front of the television as if thou art invisible.

5. Thou shalt not jump onto thy sleeping human’s bladder at 3 a.m.

6. Thou shalt not reset thy human’s alarm clock by walking on it.

7. Thou shalt not trip thy humans, even if they are walking too slowly.

8. Thou shalt not push open the bathroom door when there are guests in thy house.

9. Thou shalt not jump on the toilet seat just as thy human is sitting down.

10. Thou shalt attempt to show remorse when being scolded.


Honest, Mom! I really do try. It just seems that I can't control myself.
