Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday - RIP Tora-Chan

 

Rainbow Sei: I had a different post in mind for this week, but then we heard from Mr. G and family that their sweet, sweet Tora-Chan (aka Toto), had to be helped to the Bridge by Dr. C yesterday, so today's post will be in honour of him.


Tora-Chan was about the same age as our Beebs, and he arrived at Poupounette Central at the time when Tama and her kittens were still in their special room. He came from the same breeder as us but was the result of a liaison between one of the stud cats and an outside lady cat. He was found wondering around and the breeder refused to accept that he had any Abyssinian blood! #1 took him in and started looking for a home for him. It was Yuu-Chan who took him under his paw and looked after him.

Here are some pics taken when he arrived:

Wish granted! The day Tora-Chan went home with Mr. G and Ms. N:



Tora-Chan settled in and had the most wonderful life with his family, He was loved, treasured, as few cats are fortunate to be.


His life was full of fun.





#1 always enjoyed visiting him and snuggling with him:


#1 asked Mr. G to send her some of his favourite pics of Tora-Chan, which we are adding to this post:









Tora-Chan leaves behind his two kitty brothers, Odie and Masha.


You can imagine that Tora-Chan got quite the welcome when he arrived among us. We are always sad for those we leave behind but we know it's not forever and we promise that we will take the best care of our little cousin until he can be reunited with his  human family.

  16. I made a little memento to honor Tora-Chan's memory, but of course I cannot send it to his family.
    I just posted it m my blog, so you can snag it from there to send it to them... https://pipoandminkoandfreckleswoofs.blogspot.com/2023/01/in-memory-of-furry-friends.html
    Or I can email directly to you to forward. (Will do that, but snag it if your email sends me to spam...)
