Tigger came to us 19 years ago shortly after we moved into our new home after getting married. She was the grand dame of our family and ruled the house. As we adopted other cats and dogs, Tigger led them all. She would wait every morning on the landing of the stairs for her breakfast and would let you know if you were late. In the evening, she would jump up on your lap looking to be brushed to her contentment. She was great.
