Sad News Wednesday

We are sad to announce Pekka has made his last journey. He had been showing signs of age, and little indications like not playing or being on mousewatch and Äiti had talked to ystävämme eläinlääkäri but as we did not know his age, we had all thought this was him becoming more elderly. However on Monday Äiti knew something was wrong and before he began suffering, the hardest decision was made and the kindest act done. His heart was failing rapidly. Just a couple of hours earlier he had been stealing tuna from Äiti¨s pizza so she is choosing to remember this, not the time afterwards.

Pekka was a rescue kitty, from Raahe eläinkoti and joined King Punapippuri and the gang in February 2011. He had been found living wild, in the coldest time of Finnish winter. Now that is sisu. He proved himself a might hunter and a truly kiltti kissa. He was kind and playful, never really fought, and was loyal. In his hunting, he never tortured his prey and his squirrel-killing was legendary. He was a very important part of the Felocracy and he will be greatly missed. Äiti's lap will indeed by empty and Papu has lost a tussle buddy.

Fly free, Pekka, along side the others who have gone before. We will look for you in the revontulet, just as you looked for them before. 

Godspeed, Pekka-poika; you have part of Äiti's heart with you.
