Tiger Monster
To all my new and old friends...
i'm sorry that I have been and probably will be a little non-communicative. I will try to respond to everyone from ALA over the next week.
Jessiah and I had a great time at ALA meeting and spending time with everyone.
Unfortunately, when we got back home, we found that our beautiful four and a half year old kitty, Tiger Monster was sick. We took him to the vet but he was very disoriented and acting drugged. After doing blood work and an x-ray the vet decided to do exploratory surgery to discover the source of the illness. The vet removed a tumor the size of a human fist, and discovered that our poor kittys organs were riddled with inoperable cancer. The cancer had spread to every lobe of his liver and his kidneys and we were told that he could not possibly survive, and that his organs were shutting down so we were forced to have him put down to keep him from suffering.
We will miss our Tiger Monster very much. He was a beautiful and intelligent cat who loved to play and loved nothing more than to snuggle up with us and get petted. His sister, Dinner Monkey is very confused and upset, and his death is especially distressing since it was so sudden, and since he was playing and acting normal up until just a few days ago.
We all love and miss our kitty-baby very much. The picture above is of him playing at Christmas...
