Diego (2001-2020)

Adelaida and I had to say goodbye to Diego today. It was a difficult decision for us, but his health had deteriorated rapidly the last few weeks.
He was a great cat, a fun friend and a loyal companion. I am sure many of you who met him will agree that he was special. So many great memories. We already miss him very much.
Here is his photo gallery: https://pbase.com/amoxtli/diego
The photo on this post, his last portrait, was taken yesterday.

Nikon D850 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

"but his health had deteriorated rapidly the last few weeks"
Lo avevo notato che Diego non stava bene,in qualche tua ultima fotografia,ma non ti ho detto niente.
Il mio amico a 18 anni mi aveva lasciato,nel 2006,e ho notato gli stessi cambiamenti che ho recentemente visto in Diego.
Loro sono parte della famiglia e della nostra vita.
Teniamoli sempre nel cuore!

Sorry to hear about your loss the portrait is beautiful and I can guarantee that your pet is at the Rainbow Bridge looking down and appreciating about how much you loved him.
He is in a better place now and not suffering.

So sad to lose such a dear friend, I know he lived like a King and that his life was full of love and more. I sometime say that if they don't have pets in Paradise, I don't wanna go! Goodbye dear Diego
