He is still luckier than most. Congrats on Manny finding a forever home. <br />I think it is good that Butters and Parker are leaving home as it will mean more room for foster tabbies and less poop to scoop. You've taught your son well he has learned by example and the kitties will keep him in line if he forgets!Carolinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-33420031062752239842012-09-05T10:28:38.683-04:002012-09-05T10:28:38.683-04:00We are so sorry about Tater Tot.

Sometimes there is just nothing we can do - and we have had similar issues with kittens and mom's heart breaks a little every time.<br /><br />We know that Parker and Butters are in good hands - your son has you as an example. :)Random Felineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591546634183113556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-78725848787081865732012-09-04T23:33:34.603-04:002012-09-04T23:33:34.603-04:00I don't think rescue people think they know MO...I don't think rescue people think they know MORE then vets, but they more often then not have much more experience in the areas that they deal with all the time.<br /><br />I am sorry Tater's loss is hitting you so hard. I hope you can remember through the grief what wonders you were able to give him. <br /><br />Congrats to Manny and all involved in his adoption story.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-54939315678339882822012-09-04T21:58:38.710-04:002012-09-04T21:58:38.710-04:00Sending virtual hugs!

So sorry about the kitten, so happy he had a safe loving home if only for a short time. <br /><br />Wanted to let you know Zoey, my little white kitten is fitting in perfectly. Zoey has been renamed Tiger Lily. <br /><br />She was almost named crack of dawn, crack for short because she is most awake and wanting to play when the birds start to sing. Lily is a doll she comes every day for a snuggle and often sleeps leaning against my legs when I am in the recliner. She is snuggling now as I type this. She has a loud purr and a squeaky meow when hungry. <br />When she met Harpurr (my old flamepoint Siamese) they went nose to nose for a few seconds and then she gave him a head butt and he pinned her for a bath. No hissing or chasing. <br /><br />With her build, small bones, long skinny body, huge ears she is likely part siamese. Her eyes are just like tiger eyes, I have never seen any eyes that shade of yellow before just like marigolds.<br /><br />She is a comfort to me as Harpurr is fading. He continues to loose weight, it is so sad to see him waste away. <br /><br />Hundreds of dollars in diagnostics and vet fees and there is nothing more to be done.<br /><br />Thinking about you and Maggie - <br /><br />Harpurr and Lily's MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-22675662000418404772012-09-04T21:19:59.780-04:002012-09-04T21:19:59.780-04:00Re your son taking the two kitties: now you have ...Re your son taking the two kitties: now you have space for two more foster cats!Rhondanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34039605.post-62669925952512161802012-09-04T19:41:30.586-04:002012-09-04T19:41:30.586-04:00 Sorry Beth..tried to keep my comment short, but D...

Don't let such an amazing event get lost in the sadness of Tater Tot's passing. Manny now has years ahead of him as a loved member of a family - yay! We'll miss sweet little Tater terribly, but today was a happy day, too.

Oh Beth, I am SO sorry to hear about darling Tater Tot.<br />Sometimes we just never know what happened. I have had this happen to me a few times with what I thought were healthy kitties. With our Damien, at 8 PM the little guy came to chat with me ( I thought ) and by bedtime at 10 PM..he was not there for his bedtime snack. I found him lying under my Hubby's desk..just lying there like he was sleeping. It broke my heart..I loved that little guy so ! We never knew..was it a heart attack...what happened ..not a sign of anything wrong. At least he didn't suffer a long illness and then die..and I think you and the foster parents need to console yourselves with that. Tater Tot was given all the care and love that he deserved.<br />As for Parker and Butters ..we all know that kitties will always demand what is rightfully theirs..lol..your Son will be reminded if he doesn't come forth with meals at meal time and treats at treat time, lol...Kitties always amaze me how they can train us. They ARE very good at looking after themselves ..I don't really think you need worry..I suspect .it is the" Letting go" that is the hard part for "mommy" ....My condolences to all concerned on the loss of Tater Tot...<br />GailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
