Today our sweet cat Tiger left us, just as suddenly as when she adopted us 12 years ago. She showed up in our backyard, a tiny stray kitten looking for a home.  She brought joy to our lives, an unexpected addition to our family that immediately made it seem more complete.  We will miss her sweet meow and the pitter patter of her tiny paws.  She was always so small and delicate, yet she had a fierceness and independence about her that made her name all the more fitting.

Rest in Peace, my little Tiger.  Mommy will miss you so much.
