Tiger

A year ago today our cat Tiger died. We still miss her and talk about her a lot. Even though our new dog Bethan is now part of the family, Tiger had that certain independence that all cat lovers admire.


Tiger at home in Devon, 2007

She came to us from The Blue Cross in Spring 2007. We lived in Devon then and she enjoyed some happy days in the garden at our old house, climbing the apple trees and the outhouse roof, and walking up and down the hill. When we relocated in August 2007 she enjoyed the luxury of fitted carpet for the first time (the Devon house had floorboards) and perhaps her greatest adventure here was the day she climbed onto the roof of my neighbour's bungalow. I only wish we had taken a photograph! Tiger was still a young cat when she died and her passing brought back memories of other cats from days gone by, who are household names. Rest in peace Tiger. May you know the blessing of cool grassland in the summer time. We miss you.
