After 38 hours of unexplained absence our baby tiger, Ziggy rocked up and wolfed down a huge bowl of cat food and biscuits. Although slightly skittish and wild looking, appearing to have no real care in the world given that he had led us to believe he would not be returning! Those 38 hours were a rollercoaster of grief, hope, frustration, sadness and beneath it all a huge affirmation of how much we love our stripy little boy. Welcome back Ziggy, you little bugger! We are relieved beyond belief to have you home!
Missing Member
The warmth has settled on the hills
But I am somewhere else
Not knowing where you are’s what kills
Zig, I’m beside myself
Your sense of fun, my heart has won
Pure love, no complication
I love you like my feline son
Unique communication
Be safe, be well, come back and tell
us you’re ok, we miss you
To wait like this is total hell
Return back home, we’ll kiss you
Where on this earth have you now roamed?
One glimpse and we’ll be peaceful
The head butts and those chirpy tones
All dolphin like and gleeful
No we will not relax until
We know you’re in good health
The warmth has settled on the hills
But I am somewhere else
Glad Ziggy is back!
