A little while ago, Lynettea’s great niece in Queensland sent some photos of one of Diamond’s oldest friends, who had recently travelled to the Rainbow Bridge, at the age of twenty, which is a great age for a cat. We are very sad for his human family.
Sanka was older than Lynettea’s great niece. He was her guardian for the whole of her life and the companion of her mother from when he was a kitten.
Lynettea met Sanka when he was younger and thought he was a lovely cat. Sanka wrote some letters to Diamond about his life and Diamond wrote some messages in return. Those were the days when a lot of messages went by snail mail rather than email.
Sanka even sent a drawing of his paw to Diamond and a beautiful pencil portrait that we have hanging on the wall. The drawing was by Lynettea’s great niece.
Such a long and generous life is worth celebrating, so we are posting the pictures here.
