I got a kitten to be a buddy to my old huge ginger tom (yogi) a little tortiose shell called tigger, cute as a button and they got on great together but then tigger started having fits mainly when drinking and the vet thought he was epileptic, but they got worse and it turns out he had a brain tumour and had to be put down..broke my heart but it double broke yogis heart, but we got lucky and saved a cat that was labeled the runt of a litter and about to be put down (barney), yogi perked up no ends and the two got on great, real funny seeing a huge fat ginger tom and a tiny black cat following him everywhere like he worshiped him :o)....then in a fight yogi scratched barneys eye by accident and he had to have it removed, for a good while he was very off balance but he got used to it and lived a happy life as long as i was there...divorce came along and she got the cats....Steve
