Blanco left us on 14 Feb 2010, the first day of Chinese New Year. He did not come for dinner and after that when we went looking a neighbour told us that a dying cat (prob hit by a car) had staggered into his driveway.
Blanco -your sweet temper, warm and affectionate manner will always be remembered.
(I've got to post some more positive cat stories, the last few are all so depressing!)
