cuddles

for those that don't know, cuddles is the littermate of tigger (who just passed). when they were 2 days old we noticed their young mother killing her litter one by one because she wasn't ready to have such an early pregnancy (she was a stray in the neighborhood). she had given birth under the kids slide and we went and rescued the remaining four that she was wanting to get rid of them.
they were SO tiny, eyes closed, needed to be fed by the bottle, stimulated to go potty, the works.
i wanted cuddles from the start, her white fur and pink little toes and face reminded me of a little bunny rabbit..my dad agreed and i won. however, my mom fell in love with tigger and declared we were keeping him too. we rehomed the others after they were properly weaned and had proper vet visits and continued our lives with tigger and cuddles. i was only eleven when this happened.
17 years pass by and cuddles has been back with me for nine months now. Since Tigger's passing which was only one day ago I still feel we have a close connection.
I just have to say I LOVE this cat and she is my little darling that i fawn over and get protective over. I have taken to start carrying her around with me wherever I can. She's like this skinny minny (hyperthyroid) teddy bear. All she wants is to be cuddled and kissed...that's it. Her affection has been really good for me right now and I feel somehow we're closer already.
Just have to say i love this little girl.

Think we need a new picture of Cuddles, Tink! Lovely that you are still able to give each other mutual comfort.

That's so touching. I'm so glad Cuddles is there for you and helping assuage the grief a bit. Bless that old sweetie!
