Default Tiger...a Tribute

I came home from work this evening and found my freind laying on one of his many spots.
I called his name, came no reply, and soon realized he was not breathing.
I performed cpr on him (on any small animal you completely cover the mouth and nose with yours and breath out) , but to no avail. My wife soon came home and we rushed him to the vet' emergency room where they could not find a heartbeat.

I adopted him from the animal shelter just after my 22nd birthday, and now he is gone, due to what we believe was an existing heart murmur problem.

This is for our beloved family member.
From my wife and I and his partner (in crime)...Nenna, who keeps sniffing and looking around the corner for him.

It was a shock.
He seemed fine.
We were just at the vet' a month or so ago, and they said he was doing great.

He just turned nine.

Sincerest sympathies. They are friends, family. And you to them.

It's tough losing such a friend, and it is touching you made this thread as a tribute to Tiger.
He was a beautiful cat, my condolances.
