I think it is very fitting that all but one of these photos shows Tigre on a bed or other soft spot. Truly this was a cat who knew how to live. Our thoughts are with you.
Tigre was gentle and shy. She was the most beautiful cat to me. Her mottled fur, her blue eyes, her white paws, her black tail tip all added up to a cat that everyone wanted to hold. When we adopted her, we were surprised that such a pretty cat had been stray. At that time we didn't know how sweet she was. She was so good. Before the last month or so, she had never made a mess or caused any kind of trouble. The first time she ever threw up, she walked over to a piece of newspaper and puked on it, so as not to make a mess. What a good cat. She slept on my feet, or my hip, or my husband's chest. She kept us warm. Last night, the bed was very empty. My first furry pet. Tigre. I love her. I already miss her.
The first night without her, Pismo scratched at the bed and wimpered. The girls, even today went to the bed and meowed to try and find her. We all miss her.
This blog is probably late, behind, and/or delayed. I am so very sorry and I will do everything in my power to catch up, make up, or otherwise atone for my sins as a writer and human being.
Remodeling a house is hard and expensive. I wish it cost less money. More money would be good and please send me money. Boo-hoo.
Having twin babies is also hard. However a lot of stuff they do is cool. I will do my best to express this feeling in more robust, expressive terms, but will probably in the end fall back on terms like "sweet", "awesome", and "cool". I will also occasionally throw in an adverbial "pretty" in front of those adjectives, the worst sort of grammatical heresy. This occurs for the dual reason that sometimes the ups and downs of parenting are difficult to articulate and also because this section of the blog usually gets written last and therefore is most likely to suffer serious writer fatigue.

It's always tough when a good friend leaves us. Mom always thought Tigre was very snuggly. Does Pismo miss her?

So sorry to hear about Tigre...
