We had to put Tiggy to sleep this morning. We thought Cookie would go first with her oral cancer but Tiggy had been declining the last month, we could start to see his front paws being impacted and he could no longer walk.

At the vets suggestion we tried prednilosone starting last Saturday as he said it might help him walking (long shot at best) but instead it seemed to make things way worse somehow - he acted all spaced out and weird and after four days stopped eating. We stopped the steroids (which didn't seem to bother his BG much) but he continued to decline despite force feeding etc.

This morning he was just lying there staring into space and having breathing problems and his tongue out . We rushed him to the vet and his body temp was 34 and heart was racing.

Vet couldn't find anything else wrong with him but we knew with all his other issues that was time... He hasn't walked in a month and although we were giving him as much joy as possible, a lot of the time he was not happy at not being able to walk where he wanted and we were constantly questioning QOL.

He was my baby boy. That special cat that comes once in a lifetime. And he just turned 10 on July 1.

I will miss him so much cat_wings>o

Oh Wendy, I am so sad to read this, my heart goes out to you for your loss. I think you made the right decision, as hard as it was. It was Tiggy's time and you did the very best you could for him, I hope you have many happy memories to share of happier times. Hugs and prayers, fly free sweet Tiggy :bighug:cat_wings>o
 
So sorry for your loss of Tiggy. 10 is way too young to be fighting so much and losing them :( You did so much for Tiggy and he knew how much you loved him and fought for him right up to the time it was time to go.
Fly free dear Tiggy and land softly back in your mama's heart.
 
So sorry about Tiggy. I felt the same way when I had to let my Franki go, and she was almost Tiggy's twin. At a better time, I will share her picture with you.
 
(((((Wendy)))))
I'm so sorry for your loss. Tiggy was much loved and he knew it.
You did everything you possibly could for him.

what a lovely, handsome boy. RIP Tiggy, you were and always will be much loved. Hugs and healing to you Wendy. You are a loving, devoted momma bean and he was fortunate to have you as his champion to the end. Hope the pain eases with time into smiles at his memory. :rb_icon::bighug::bighug:
 
(((((Wendy)))))

I'm so sorry. No matter how much or how little, it's never enough time. Fly free Tiggy and land softly. Many from LL are at the Bridge to greet you and keep you safe until you are reunited with the ones you love best.
 
Oh Wendy, such a sad day. We are so sorry for your loss, Tiggy was a super special kitty and knows you were a super special bean.

So sorry it was time for Tiggy to leave you. 10 is so young to lose them but he knew you loved him enough to let him go. That's the best gift we have to give.

Fly free sweet Tiggy cat_wings>o
 
Thanks everyone, my heart is broken. He was my heart cat and I will miss him so much.

I am giving says four vials of levemir, and his Relion prime meter for free to anyone who wants it if they pay shipping. Not sure how to keep it cold but it's in my fridge right now. Let me know.

Wendy
 
(((Wendy)))) I'm so very heartbroken for your loss of your sweet and beloved boy....so handsome and way too young for all he went through. You took such great care of him and gave him so much love....he was one lucky boy. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Fly free sweet Tiggy.

The Ridge by Carol Notermann
It’s been such a lovely summer, I’ve been napping in the sun.
This morning, other cats and I enjoyed a long long run.
We chased butterflies together. I climbed high into a tree.
And now I think what woke me up was that small bumble bee.

I’ve yawned and stretched, and still I feel that something has begun.
He’s standing there in robes of white, and telling me to come.
I always run to Him you know, when He comes across the bridge
To see if we’re all having fun and if we’ve checked the ridge.

He gives tummy rubs to all of us and pets and cuddles too
I’m glad to see Him every day, when He comes into view.
Each day He takes a different cat, and chats with them a while
Then off that kitty starts to run. I swear they seem to smile.

But now He’s stopped in front of me. He’s said a name I know.
He said to look out towards the ridge. The sun is setting low.
I start to walk out toward the ridge, and then what’s that I see.
IT’S YOU! IT’S YOU! It’s really you. You’ve come to be with me!

My goodness you are running and I am running too!
You stop to bend, but I can jump and now I am with you.
I feel your kisses on my head, as I did in long off days
You’re holding me and hugging me, and into your eyes I gaze.

And now He’s walking with us, as you carry me once more
We’ve crossed Rainbow Bridge together. We’re here at Heaven’s door.
And He has held it open, and told us to walk through
That from now on and forever, I can always be with you.
 
((((Wendy)))) I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your beautiful boy. How gorgeous he was! I can tell by your words how much he was loved by you and the care you gave him was amazing. I know he will be in your heart forever. Hugs
 
Sending much love to you and your entire family....such a tough loss.......Now sweet Tiggy.....fly free my friend and make sure that you send momma a sign that you made it safely across to the bridge!
 
I'm so sorry (((Wendy))) Your final gift of love was to set him free, there can be no greater gift. I hope you can take some comfort in that and all your wonderful memories of your special little man.

Fly free Tiggy :rb_icon:
 
I know just what you mean by "heart kitty". My Wally was my "soul kitty". I'm so very sorry that Tiggy is gone. Sending prayers and big hugs.
 
(((((Wendy)))) I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to Tiggy, he was your beloved boy, I could tell. That picture is so special- those eyes pierce the soul- I hope you have it blown up large and framed! Fly free sweetie and land softly- you were so loved!

Wendy, so sad to learn about your handsome boy Tiggy. Soon he will be frolicking in a fragrant meadow, chasing butterflies, laying in the sun, making new friends with other kitties who have gone ahead ....no more pain, no more suffering.

"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown..."
 
(((Wendy))) Saying prayers of peace and comfort for you and your family.

Fly free, sweet Tiggy and land safely at the Bridge. :rb_icon:

I am so very sorry to read that Tiggy has gone ahead. You gave him such a wonderful, loving home, and I know how you treasured him. You made the best possible decision for him, and I know how much it cost you. I will keep you and your other furbabies (and your human family, too) in my prayers.

Fly free, sweet Tiggy, and land softly. cat_wings>o
 
(((Wendy)))
Such sad news. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Tiggy was a lucky boy to have you as him mom.
Keeping you in my thoughts.
 
I'm so sorry for Tiggy's loss, but so happy for his life. He's free from all of his ailments, but never free from your love. Take care Tiggy, until we see you again some day!
 
{{hugs}}

I'm so sorry to hear about Tiggy. He had a wonderful kitty momma and you gave him the best life. :bighug:
 
Wendy, I am so very sorry. Mannie was my once in a lifetime special kitty, I can understand how it is with Tiggy. He will always be close, tucked away in that corner of your heart. Fly free little one. You will always be remembered, never forgotten.

Fly free Tiggy...
 
Wendy:bighug::bighug: So very sorry for your loss. Tiggy, a handsome boy, new how much he was loved and still is.
RIP Tiggy. Send your Momma a sign from the rainbow bridge that you are safe.
 
(((Wendy))) I'm so sorry that you had to say goodbye. What a beautiful picture of your Tiggy. You are in my thoughts and prayers, many hugs:bighug::bighug::bighug:

:rb_icon:((Wendy)), I am so so sorry for a loss of your beloved Tiggy. I was looking for your post daily and somewhere In deep inside I knew that your next post is a goodbye post to Tiggy or Cookie. You guys tried everything above and beyond possibilities to save him or least add to some good time to his present. I wish I could say something what would ease your pain and even with the two other loved kitties the emptiness in your heart. Unfortunately we all have to struggle through in this alone in different level. I will pray for all of you so he can pass over easily and you can hold on with love to your other two babies.
