Tiger was waiting in the carport for his dinner when Mama M looked at him compared to the other cats and realized that he was getting thin. So she loaded him into the cat carrier and into the car and drove to one of the closest vet offices. There the doctor on duty drew blood and told Mama M she would call when tests were complete and she could make suggestions about treatment.
The next day Mama M was petting Tiger outside when she heard the telephone ring. She hurried in and answered.
"Tiger's kidneys are failing," the doctor said. "We can't cure him, but we can give him medicine to relieve pain."
Mama M said that she would think about it and call back. Then she went outside to see Tiger. He was nowhere to be found. And he never returned. Somehow the sweet orange tabby knew his time on earth had ended and chose to find his own place to die.
