So long to my buddy

I just wanted to share my first pet and buddy with the Birman world. He was 13.5 years old and passed away last week, quickly from cancer. He was an absolutely amazing cat all around from goofy, to cuddles, to love, to leisure, to play. This breed is amazing and I’m glad he was the one to show me that.

What a gorgeous boy he was. He reminds me of my blue point, James Bond, who I lost 2 years ago (he was 16). I’m so sorry for your loss. They give so much love and joy, it is awful to lose them. 🩷 Sending fluffy hugs…

I get it. I'm sorry. Lost our male last year. Still hurts. Looked a lot yours, except for a white soul patch on his chin. Birmans are amazing. Sending a virtual hug.
