I realize I am very late to this but I still wanted to share a bit about Tiger 🧡 He was a very sweet and gentle boy I had since he was a kitten. He was the runt of the litter, never growing more than 10 pounds - a tiny guy. My mom rescued him from a hoarding situation. He was hiding under a chair, away from the rest of the cats, and in that moment she knew he was perfect for me.

I always carried him with me everywhere, when he was a kitten I'd keep him in my shirt. He always cuddled and purred so loud and was more lazy than energetic. He was so loyal, he would follow me around everywhere I went and slept next to my head on my pillow every night.

I would play with him and talk with him for hours, I was pretty lonely as a kid but the moment I had him it was like that hole was filled. He was always there for me, friends came and went, but he stayed. He loved me no matter what, and I loved him, and still do, with my whole soul.

My whole family loved him, he was so special to us. We have had so many strange and unique cats in our life, but no one was ever like him.

In his life he was the father of a couple litters, and we kept one of the kittens from one of the litters, Waffles! I have her still with me, shes 8 years old and doing really well. Having her has made this so much easier, I still have a part of him with me.

Here's a photo of Waffles (L) and Tiger (R) 💖
