Diego Photo Gallery by Walter Otto Koenig at pbase.com

Diego

Diego was born in Berkeley, California in 2001. He was adopted by my stepson soon afterward.
He came into our lives in September 2005 as he needed more human company.
He was an affectionate and much-loved companion until he became too old and ill.
We made the difficult decision to have him put to sleep on May 9, 2020.

Hi Diego - how exciting to meet you at long last - I've heard a lot of San Diego and it's a pleasure to meet who it was named after... I'm a silver Burmese, 8 years old, and I'll have to get my pet Janice to introduce us some time. She calls me her pretty girl... Meouwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Kisses from Jackson, but you can call me Jacks http://www.pbase.com/image/128787659

Great gallery. I always love to see other peoples cats. Especially love the pictures of Diego caught with his mouth wide open.

A great gallery of a fine looking cat. Your comments are very accurate.

What a gorgeous cat! Lucky you to have such a great model...

graysentinel		10-Nov-2008 23:14
Your gallery tells a wonderful visual story of your cat. I have a 5 year old female cat named Spatz with very similar markings especially the white chin. She lives in New Jersey. She loves looking out the kitchen window at the various birds that sit on the trellis. Also a great mouser. Brings them into the house. Go to my gallery odds and ends and you can see her.

Cindi Smith		05-Nov-2008 01:23

Michael Shpuntov		04-Nov-2008 16:50
He's definitely a character and you captured his charisma wonderfully. Usually it's difficult to make a gallery devoted just to single subject interesting enough to keep viewer looking long. But this one for sure is a exception. Vote
