#1 here. Today, we would like to honour the memory of a dear friend who went over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. His name was Basha. He was our next door neighbour and he came to live with our neighbours back in 2006, before the Poupounette lbog started. At the time, he shared his home with a woofie named Madrac, TOWCB Fernant. He was good friends with Tommy. Basha was almost 14 years old and had never been sick a day in his life when, about a month ago, his owners noticed that he wasn't doing so well. When they took him to the vet's, the diagnosis was horrendous. Basha had a huge inoperable tumour near his heart. He has soldiered on until now but his family made the hardest decision that it was time to let him go. Farewell, Basha. You were a good cat.
Here are some photos from his life, starting with baby Basha, back in late 2006:
Basha loved the outdoors:
