2419.0. "Saying Goodbye to our Loved one." by NRPUR::TURICK () Mon May 01 1989 19:00

    Yesterday I said goodbye to the eldest of my three cats. 
    Our handsome Tiger was hit by some jerk who didn't even stop.
    I pulled in my driveway looking forward to Samantha and Tiger's
    usual greeting.  Instead, I saw Samantha crouched by the side of
    the road.  At first, I thought she had been hit and was stunned.
    As I got closer, I noticed her fur all puffed out and she was 
    staring at something in the leaves on the side of the road.  There
    lay my precious Tiger.  His fur all matted by the downpour of rain
    from the night before.  I pray to God he died instantly because
    I didn't see any obvious wounds.  I couldn't believe it was him.
    Tiger lived at least fourteen years with us.  When we first got
    him he was a wise tom cat who didn't trust us.  Once he realized
    how much he was loved, he developed such a personality!  He'd answer
    you with his little "prrp" and meows mingled with a prrr.  He was
    so affectionate and loved everybody.  Samantha will sure miss her
    hunting partner, and Fluffy (Samantha's daughter) who is our indoor
    cat (do to the fact she's long-haired) will miss her play and sleep
    partner.  Tiger was everyone's favorite.  My boyfriend Michael and
    I buried Tiger in the back near the garden where he did a lot of
    his hunting.  When I get home from work, I'm going to place the
    flowers which I got for secretaries day on his grave. 
    
    Goodbye Tiger.  We love you - it's a consolation knowing you knew
    that!  You lived a full and happy life.  Now you can take a nice 
    long catnap in the ray of sunshine you loved so much.

2419.20Thank you.NRPUR::TURICKTue May 09 1989 13:3815
    Thank you so much everyone!  Your warm and loving thoughts have
    provided me with a lot of strength this past week.  My parents just
    got back from their vacation and decided to move Tiger's grave closer
    to the house so it could be seen easier.  My father made a beautiful
    grave for Tiger in our large flower bed and will be planting Tiger
    Lily's all around the grave.  
    
    Samantha, the one who hunted with him has been seen sitting on the
    side of the road at the spot where Tiger was found.  It's as if
    she's waiting for him to return.  Don't we all wish they would!
    
    Thank you again for your support.  It means so much!
    
    Lynn, Mom, Dad, Joe, Mark, Jeff, Michael, Samantha & Fluffy
