Bye, bye little Tamiya...

Just was told my favourite little cat was found dead, driven over by a car. It was only 2 years old and we were calling him Tamiya as my girlfriend had named her older cat Dickie, even before we met. Here is a pic of Tamiya when he was little, it was always so sweet, clever and carefull...
We will miss you, hope to meet you again one day...
