She knows Connie, she knows.

Abby looks such a little Goth and I don't reckon Ziva will have any trouble with Hammas mice lol.

So glad BriBri is getting on with your other animals!  She seems to be fitting in with your family so well; Mrs. B and I send hugs to all.

Glad BriBri's doing well, getting you attuned to her desires lol.

You might want to put a collar on Ginger tom with a note asking the owner to phone you.  If you don't get a reply he's not owned.  You are right to be careful about disease until BriBri has her shots.

BriBri is cute!  Looks like she's got catitude from Griselda lol.

Connie, cats do sometimes get cancer, it sucks but it's life; you were in no way responsible for Tigger's death, don't beat yourself up over it.  You have a new baby to look after and judging by what's been happening, Tigger approves.  I'm very glad that Bubba is taking to your new cat so well.

I echo Sean's comments about the bank; moan, bitch, complain and make a nuicance of yourself.  Those @#>!^^¬|~}'s have taken zillions of Federal dollars, your tax dollars, and the greedy swines (& I apologise to pigs everywhere), just want more!  Let your representatives know that you, a voter, want the bankers to get up off their butts and do some work, not just grind people into the dirt.  Mrs. B suggests that when you contact the bank or banker you substitute the letter 'w' for the letter 'b' ;)

@LunaFaye, I'm so sorry for your loss, it does hurt particulary when you lose a cat so early.  When you feel the time is right, get another cat; unless one just turns up out of the blue in which case you were meant to have him/her.

Hugs and good thoughts to all.

It sounds like your bitty kitty has been taking lessons from Griselda, that's exactly how she controls our boys :)  She's about a third their weight but advances on them eyes and hair akimbo lol.  Biff, who beats up all the neighbourhood toms runs away.  Jasper has been known to flee from agressive beetles, so we don't really count him.  Jasper, on whose tummy Mrs. B can blow raspberries (bronx cheers), was flagged as vicious in the cat's home.  He wasn't vicious, he was claustrophobic and the cages there are pretty small.

We're so glad that Bubba is taking to bitty kitty so well.  All the best to you, her and the rest of your family.

We love Jasper to bits too!  He says to Bubba  " 'allo, Bubba, I'm 'ere; I'm not all 'ere though, purr "

This is Sophie flaked out after a hard day spent hating the cat across the road.  They sit on high vantage points and glare at each other lol.  She's more my mum-in-law's cat than ours.  She came to us as the cats home was going to put her down as she has megasophagous.  When she had her booster injections this year our vet said she was the healthiest cat he'd ever seen :)

Bitty sounds adorable!  I'm sure that Tigger is busy giving her instructions!  We're very glad you have each other.

Griselda is very pleased by all the adulation; not surprised mind you, but pleased.  I'm sure she would graciously respond but she's too busy right now basking in the sun.

This is Jasper who we sometimes call 'Mr. Softy' as his fur is so soft (and his head, but we don't mention that).  He spends a lot of time keeping his white fur very white lol.

I know that Cheri will never replace Tigger, Biff didn't replace Ninja, each cat has their own personality and is wonderful in their own way.  Cheri has fallen on her feet having you for her mom.  Remember all the good times with Tigger and look forward to all the good times with Cheri.  Hugs to you, your honey and your pets.

This is Griselda

Dear, dear Connie, all that needs to be said about not beating yourself up has been.  We’ve all advised others not to, but still play the what-if game with ourselves.  It was Tigger’s time to go and she went in her mom’s arms; what could be better than that?

Banks are the scum of the earth (we’re suing ours), and we’re so sorry that you have to deal with them as well at this time.  We do send hugs but it’s difficult over so many time zones, we wish we could hug you in the flesh.  I’m sure that Tigger had something to do with the picture on your phone, she’s with you and always will be.  Her spirit will find you no matter what.

Give Cher a loving home as you gave one to Tigger.  When our black cat Ninja died there was a black cat at the cat’s home where Mrs. B worked.  We didn’t think we could take him but via various circumstances we ended up with him a couple of years later.  Ninja wanted us to have Biff and so we did.

Your honey is there for you to lean on and so are we if you need us.  If you ever want to PM anybody just to sound off, we are here for you.

This is Ninja.

This is Biff, tired after a hard day's hunting.

I'll get the others up, but I didn't realise I could only put up one picture a day, bear with me.  Our Jasper is cream like Leftie, he's (Jasper is), a big girl's blouse.  Griselda is grey, hairy and convinced she has pedigree, (she hasn't!).  Sophie is tortoiseshell and most of the pictures I have of her are a tangle of feet when she's on her back lol.  She catches squirrels and sucks our their brains . . . guess she thinks she's a zombie!

Our four cats all send their purrs and snuggles to you, Bubba and your honey.  It's going to be very confusing for Bubba as he is going to miss Tigger.  Give him a special hug from us.

Connie, Mrs. B has worked at a homeless cat shelter; it can be very rewarding but you also have to be very strong due to the heartless, stupid and selfish humans out there.  Mrs. B frequently wanted to kill the people who came in with the most ridiculous reasons for getting rid of their cats.  Not wanting to be pessimistic at you Connie, just pointing out that there is a low side as well as a high side.  Mind you, having an understanding boss would be a help, Mrs. B's boss was a complete idiot!

All our thoughts go out to you; thank you for sharing with us, it's been a privilage to get to know Tigger a little bit.  We all are going to miss her.

Be sure, Tigger's spirit will find you a waif.  So often when we have lost a cat another needy one has tuned up so quickly and very often with similar manerisms.  For example, the only two cats I've ever known who curl their tails corkscrew fashion were our Ninja and Jasper who came to us shortly after he died.  (Jasper came into the cat's home where Mrs. B was working.)

Dear, dear Connie we are so sorry.  All our love to you and your family.  Do NOT beat yourself up, you looked after Tigger like she was your child, no-one could have done more.  You gave her happy times and she knew she was loved.  It'll be hard, but try to think of the times when Tigger was relaxing in the sun, the happy times.  Think of her often even if it makes you cry, she will never leave you.  We firmly believe that cats have souls too and sometimes we feel so very close to those we have lost.

All our prayers.

All our good thoughts are concentrated on Tigger's tummy :)  Hope she gets better soon.
