I never truly had a pet, most are family pets that I have helped pitch in to care for. Cats are often described as aloof, from my experience that is not true. Forming deep social bonds with their owners that not always obvious. They provide companionship acting as a blanket and support. Start to learn how they act and when things are wrong. Both feeding off each other.

Tigra was a sassy little cat who was curious and determined, would always punch above her weight. At first I never really connected to her but soon she stole my heart. Slowly becoming a companion to me, during my lowest point last year she helped save me. Would follow me around, lick and wash me sometimes. Snuggle up to me and sleep right next to me. Always wanting to inspect what I was having for lunch or anything new. She enjoyed heights loved to climb into trouble, once had to climb up a tree to get her. She would always be there for me, waiting for me to return home. Waking up would be greeted by a furry warm alarm clock. I have so many stories of her and thankful for the time we had together.

Last almost 24 hours I been waiting for her to return. Keep waiting to hear that meow and look over my shoulder for her.  Waiting for her to appear out of nowhere seeking the attention. Going to miss so much about her, calling her with meows in response. Dozens of meows which meant different things.

Last snuggle going to stay with me, as you numbed my foot. She gone now to heaven, after suffering from serious unfixable pain. Joining the other family pets together in peace and with my parents. Leaving behind one confused half sister and a family who loved every moment with her.  Goodnight Tigra 🙁 rest in peace
