Mike the Tiger, aka Mike VI, aka Roscoe, is in hospice care. He has cancer, and has for a while, and will be kept comfortable until he is euthanized by the people who’ve taken care of him for most of his life as a large cat living in captivity.
Mike was a good cat. Seriously, there have been grumpy Mikes, and Mikes clearly not happy about being a large cat living in captivity. There have been Mikes who, for lack of a better word, have been described as “dicks”. Anyone who has ever lived with a cat is nodding in recognition of this possibility.
