Cats who teach me to fly…

At first we thought he had ear infection. Then his condition got worse. We sent him for acupuncture and was told that he had a stroke. So we decided to send him for a second opinion. The vet deduced that Tigger probably has a growth in his brain. He still could sense and feel but his right eye wasn’t blinking anymore. He had lost his right eyesight and he was getting weaker and weaker.

Mel and I took turns to feed him and he ate very little. He had to be on palliative care.

I didnt expect brain tumor would strike a cat at this young age. Tigger was only four and a half-years-old. I saw him running for his life when he was barely three to four months old. He was hungry. In order to survive, he quickly had his bites of food and ran away as fast as he could before the feral cats caught him. I have no idea where such a young kitten came from. SJI is a school, who in the world would abandon a kitten in a school where the school management had already planned to trap all cats!

I approached him and took him home. He was all quiet in the car. Not struggling or hissing. A friendly boy.

Tigger when he was a young boy and still very young now…

I wish I could do more for him… If miracle is not going to happen, I hope his suffering would end with a mind and body at ease soon. Whatever merits accumulated would be dedicated to his smooth and peaceful journey.
