Our beloved cat Nouri is no longer with us.....

He has been a fighter all his short life and as such he has struggled to live all through these last days.....

This morning our good vet had him operated to realize an oversized ruptured spleen.....

Poor animal didn't overcome the surgery/anaesthezia....

He was certainly a good looking fella, so sorry for your loss of him. I'm a cat person as well, have three of them right now. Was Nouri part Maine coon? He doen't have the ear tuft's that they have but with the nice thick fur around his neck area he looks somewhat like a Main coon I use to have.

So sorry, he was very pretty. We never had a cat in the house, until my son brought home a kitten 5 years ago. Now, I don't know what we'd do without her.

Thank you everybody for your support!
Only people who love pets and have them in their family can feel how it is loosing one....

Yes, you are correct.
He was part Maine coon. He does have the ear tufts but do not show on the photo. He also had a short tail.

18 years!
That's a long long life your cats have happily lived!
Our Nouri was a stray we rescued. He has been abandoned by his mother, for health reasons I assume... Natural selection, you see...
I was his step mother, fed him with bottle, cleaned him, helped him to empty his faeces.
He has lived to be 8 years old. During this time he has been operated twice for F.U.S.
But now this happened so unexpectedly... :( :(

18 was a typo... actually she was 19. I had a cat as a kid that I found as a kitten crying in the rain under a car. It was a classic "Mom can we keep it?" That cat lived 21 years.
