Butterscotch the Tiger sure has seen a lot in his almost 13 years! I am impressed. Unfortunately I don't live with any 4 pawed friends any more - so I can't help out there. Going to visit a few new places in the near future, so I will try my best to give him a wonderful send-off.
P.S. He told me that although he misses you dearly, he's still having a good time and isn't ready to come home yet!
