Welcome to the family!

Today my fiance and I decided to go to the Humane League to check out the cats there. We thought we were going to just be looking, but we thought wrong. I’d like to introduce you all to Tigger!

    We wanted to get another cat so that Mia has a friend and we didn’t want to wait too long to get another one. When we first got Mia, we were afraid that her and Milo wouldn’t get along. At first they didn’t and Milo would his at her every time he saw her. So I don’t care if people tell me that it was too soon for us to get another cat, we feel that it wasn’t. It isn’t like we are replacing Milo. No cat will ever be able to replace Milo, ever! After the way Mia is acting towards Tigger, we are so glad that we got him when we did because she has been hissing at him a bit. If we would have waited any longer to get another cat, things could have been a lot worse!!

We were going to leave Tigger in the box for a little bit and let Mia smell it. But Tigger kept meowing so we let him out. Here is a picture of their first look at each other! So cute! Tigger just wanted to explore his new home.

And Mia doesn’t seem to want anything to do with him. It is just like when Mia was the new kitten! And Tigger, he doesn’t seem to care one bit. He has been too busy exploring.

And here is a picture of one of the first times Mia hissed at Tigger. She’s hissing at Tigger just like Milo hissed at her. Except she isn’t hissing at him as much as Milo hissed at her.

       

Now Tigger is sleeping on the couch right beside me. I’m glad that’s where he is cause otherwise I’d have to be following him around like I was earlier to make sure he doesn’t go to the bathroom anywhere besides the litter box. I have to work later tonight and my fiance just left recently to go play airsoft, so I’m going to have to put Tigger in the bathroom with some food and water. We don’t want to leave them alone with each other until we are sure that they will get along.

It took a little while for Milo and Mia to get used to each other and they eventually did. They were best friends!! Here are some pictures I got of them last week.

 

And here is the last picture that I took of Milo…

Mommy and daddy miss you Milo…and we always will!!! No cat can ever replace you!!! You were our first kitten together and you will never be forgotten!!!

Pets really are like family…

I hate that I’m having to write this, but we lost our kitty, Milo. I was just sitting out on the couch and all of a sudden I heard some crying noises. At first I thought it was coming from Mia. So I went back to the room and looked under the bed. I found Mia under there, but not Milo. When I came back up, I noticed him on the bed and he wasn’t moving. I started freaking out. I didn’t know what to do. He didn’t look like he was alive. I called my step-mom, my dad, my aunt, and my fiance. All of them were at work. My aunt called me back and I told her what happened. She said that she would talk to her boss about leaving work to come to me so she did. She went back and looked at him and confirmed what I was afraid of. This really goes to show that he was more than just a pet, he was family. I knew that I would be too much of a mess to call the vet so when my step-mom called back, my aunt wanted to talk to her and she told her I couldn’t call the vet. So now my step-mom is on her way over and is waiting for the vet to call back to tell us what we should do next.

He was only 9 months…actually 9 months tomorrow. He was too young to go. My aunt thinks maybe it was a seizure or a birth defect that went undetected. We have no idea how or why it happened. I just still can’t believe it…my little baby Milo is gone.
