Connie that's wonderful news. We had two kitties, Jeffrey passed away last month.  He was around when we purchased our home back in 1987 and we sort of adopted him in 95 after his brother and buddy died (we couldn't get near either of them until then).  He got lonely and decided that we weren't so bad after all (he was a double for Morris of the cat commercial).  He got to be somewhere in the neighborhood of at least 23 years old.  Walter, our younger kitty 12 plus is finally getting over him (took him 10 years to tolerate Jeffrey, tried to be the alpha cat).  However, Jeffrey was the type of kitty that just didn't care--never saw him hurt anything even a bird or mouse.  He did of course attacked a can of Fancy Feast.
 
Tigger looks like a brilliant cutie and glad that she is recovering Connie.  Jan
