It was a sad day yesterday. Chame-chan (pronounced cham-may-chan) died in the morning. My wife bought him 15 years ago to keep her mother in Japan company, way back when Yoshie was living in Arkansas and wasn't even a Sherriff yet. Back then, he could fit in her hand. In his prime, you'd need both hands and a good back to pick him up. For the last 15 years he has been a constant companion to my mother-in-law, moving with her around Japan when she was working in Tokyo; to England when she retired and Katherine was born; and flying back to Japan when we all moved here last year. He mastered miaowing in English and Japanese, but never did take to the Derby accent. To see the full picture of him in his prime, click here.

Sad news Paddy - leaves you the sole man of the house now - hope you can take the responsibility. At least it will put an end to a certain long-running "joke".
So sad to hear about Chame-Chan. He was a very fine and adaptable cat. Our condolences to Michiko.
Yes, the ladies of the house (of which there are a lot) are quite cut up about it. I keep catching myself shutting the door quickly to keep Chame in, probably will for some time to come. Thanks for you kind comments all.
Just read the news. Sorry to hear about that. Send my condolences too. He was quite some cat adapting to two different lands x
