I'm so sorry for your loss of Tiger.

I’m so sorry to hear this news. My DH and I got a dog shortly after we married and she was our baby for the 12 years we had with her. I remember crying every day after her death and then one day, when I realised I hadn’t cried, started crying because of that. The grief over the loss of a pet, is just as hard as the loss of human friends and family. I am glad you tamed that feral little tiger and gave him and his brother much love and wonderful lives. xxx

So hard to lose a family member. Glad you shared a life together for so long. Leaves a big hole when he's gone, I know.

Tiger looks adorable ! It always saddens me a lot when I hear of the loss of a fabber's pet. Sending hugs.

Oh, no -- I'm so sorry for your loss! It is very, very hard to lose our animal loves. You gave him a good home. I know that isn't much comfort now. Big hugs.

I'm sorry it took me so long to send these condolences. I get really emotional about the cat losses, especially. I know so well that terrible feeling at the beginning of seeing all their things, but not seeing them around the corners, on the beds, and in all the places.

I'm sure you are still so sad, but time does help.

If you want to adopt, there are so many young and adult cats waiting for a loving home. Follow your heart. We never can replace the ones we lose, but we definitely can channel that love to another sweet soul.

Much love to you and your husband.

I am late to this thread but wanted to add my condolences. My pets have always been my only children as well and I can empathise. Since my last pet, a chow-chow, passed in 2014 I have not had another dog or cat. The pain has just been too much over the years. I interact with our street cats because I do love animals.

I’m late coming to this post. I’m so sorry for Tiger‘s passing and crossing rainbow bridge. I understand that grieving process and there are many of us here who can empathize. Give yourself time to comfort yourself and heal and I wish the same for each of your family members. When I lost my cat of 18 years a few years ago, I had such a hard time as I do when I lose a precious cat and must say goodbye. The beauty is, like your Tiger, there is always another loving cat just waiting to be loved. It took me about four months and then I needed that cat energy in my home again. Enter Birch and Goblin, and while each one is very different, the love we share is what makes life so very special. Thinking of you and hope you’re doing well.
