he was fine one moment and not the next. I was at work and renee rushed him down to the vets. the vet said he basically had a large aortic stroke, threw a clot that lodged in his spine, causing him to suddenly lose the use of his hind legs.
Tigger was somewhere between 18-20 years old...he was a really, really old cat.
but he loved living on the kitchen counter, close to the fridge and his beloved bowls of milk and with very easy access to an affectionate head bump, a hug, a kiss and a pat from all passer-bys.
love you tigger, we will all miss you, you were a very special guy.
