Tiger Cat
Buzz adopted my husband and I twelve years ago.
He already lived with a family but for some reason he wanted us.
Thank God his owners agreed to let him come with us when
we moved to our new house. He loved to be around us and he’d follow
us around like a dog. As far as he was concerned he was our kid.
Since we don’t have children we gave him extra love and attention and
he had the personality to prove it. We took such good care of him but in
the end when he really needed us we failed him and I will regret that forever.
I didn’t know how sick he was. I knew something wasn’t right but I had
no idea it was life-threatening. He hated the vet so much that I hated to
bring him in. He had already been there a month before he died,
and he was fine. The vet said it was either a tumor in his lungs or
a heart defect and there was nothing that could be done.
We brought him home to die because we didn’t want him dying in a place
where he hated to be. He suffered in the end trying to catch his breath and
I will never forget the look on his face. He seemed to be saying “can’t
you help me?” Now he’s gone forever. I miss putting my face right into his
fur while he was sleeping because he was so soft and warm.
I miss kissing his cute little head and his paws.
I miss his very presence. Buzz you were the best cat in the world…
always the little gentleman. Please know that we will always love you and
won’t ever forget you little guy.
Whoever said cats have no personality didn’t
know our Buzzman.
