Been a while since my last post. Just got back into town yesterday afternoon. I had been gone visiting family, as well as doing a bit of Camping over the 4th of July weekend. I... don't really recommend doing the latter of the two. There are waaaaaaaaaaaay too many people camping during that weekend. >.<;

Visiting my family was nice, though. Got to hang out with a couple siblings I only really get to see maybe twice a year, as well as see my niece and nephew.
I always feel kinda awkward around kids. They're so hyperactive and unpredictable. o.o;;;

Had to keep an eye on them while they played games on the SNES I got for my birthday. They fought a couple times over things like unpausing the game while one of them wasn't ready yet, but... at their age, that's kinda to be expected. x3

Overall it was a fairly nice experience getting to see everyone. It was also nice being down there cause I got to see my cats, or... well... I got to see most of them..

My parents had to have my cat, Tiger, put down due to cancer. I miss her so terribly much..
She was a loving, beautiful calico, and a wonderful mother cat. She.. She was one of my first two cats. She was my Tiger baby, and I'll never forget her.

Geeze.. Just typing this up is making me cry again..

Many times, you could find her curled up on the couch, with her son and daughter, Tidbit and Lolli, on each side of her. The two have slowly been adjusting to not having their mother around, cuddling up with each other now that she's gone.

I know my mom really misses her too. Usually when she'd sit down to read a book, do some knitting, or even just watch the news, Tiger would snuggle up next to her, enjoying her company. Likewise, many of the times my mom would go out to put up laundry on the clothesline, Tiger would come over to her and spend time with her, watching my mom as she hung up the clothes, and letting out the occasional meow.

I wasn't at my hometown yet when my parents had her put down, it was.. it was just so sudden. She apparently started acting a bit different, a bit low on energy, so my parents took her to the vet to make sure she was alright only to find out she had such terrible cancer, and that she didn't have long to live..

My sister got a phone call the day they put her down and immediately informed me of it.


It... it just.. it hurts so much to know that I didn't even get to say goodbye..
Let alone get to give her one last hug..
One last pet..
One last little kiss on the forehead..

Tiger was put to sleep on June 3rd. She was an absolutely wonderful part of the family, and may she rest in peace.
