Tater Tot

Potatoes "Tater Tot" Totterson Serwiggletums (2016? - 1/1/2022) warmed the hearts of everyone who knew him. He appeared one day in 2020 in his rescuer's backyard, dirty and thin and having been on the losing end of a fight, and snuggled up on his rescuer's lap accepting pets and treats. His rescuer knew Tater Tot was a special boy who needed a home, so he brought him to the shelter, which is how Tater and I found each other. He was my special angel boy from the moment I met him. He was my pandemic kitty, my first baby that made me a kitty mama. He loved Churus. He loved his banana toy and his rainbow toy and his mouse toy and he would loaf on top of them, like he was protecting them. He perched on top of his kitty tree every day. On cold winter nights, he would snuggle up on a blanket in my lap and fall asleep, sometimes for hours. Tater very much rescued me. When my husband and I split up and I found myself alone, I had no idea what to do with myself, but I had to keep myself together to take care of Tater, and it was in this routine that I found stability and got back on my feet. Tater was FIV+ and had to receive three kinds of medication every day. He was sent to the emergency room with extreme liver problems, and at the hospital he contracted a complication of other illnesses that he eventually succumbed to. I couldn't be there in the hospital with him, but the doctor would leave his cell phone next to Tater and I sang to him and talked to him, once for 38 minutes, and I sang to him and told him I loved him over the phone as he was given euthanasia, 8 and a half hours after ringing in 2022. Tater was only 5 or 6 years old, and only with me for 15 months, and although they were filled with doctor visits and eventually heartache, I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world. I love you so much Tater. I will love you for the rest of my life.
