Tanner was a pretty, tabby cat with the softest fur. He was my shadow. Whatever room I was in, there he was, sitting watching me. He had a little game of jumping up onto the microwave cart then to the refrigerator, then he'd sit and meow for someone to get him down. We called him butthead because he was always bumping his head on something, like the wall or a table leg or a cabinet door. He'd sit behind me on the couch and keep bumping me in the head. He had one end of the couch and his brother Jody had the other end. Jody hasn't slept there since Tan left us. He now sleeps a lot in our recliner or on my lap whenever I sit down. Jody keeps going to the front door and meows until we open the door so he can look out, then he turns and walks away, it's like he's looking for Tanner because he knows he went out that door but didn't come back in. Those two fought like typical brothers, but when it came time to go to sleep, they were right there together in the beanbag chair. Jody misses his brother a lot as do we all. They were together for 14 1/2 years. Neither one has ever been sick. I think Tan just had a heart attack because he just fell over one day and took his last breath. He had such a big heart too. I held him and rocked him for about an hour before I could give him up. Jody and I miss you Tan. I hope you're happy and God's taking good care of you. Love you Tan! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANNER! I miss you and think of you every day. 12/17/03 Frosty is up there Tanner, you didn't really like it when he came to our house but he needs a bud now, find him and you guys stick together. 7/11/04 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANNER!
