RUFUS - Bamse, they called him at Örebro Cats Home

            My Swedish cat, Rufus. Photo taken at the Cats Home (Örebro Katthem), before he came to live with me. Did you ever see such a sad, sorrowful, pleading look? Poor old Bamse Puss had been living rough, and he had been abused by local residents - cruel youths had hit him with a baseball bat!

Sadly, Rufus only lived with me for just under a year. According to the vet the cats' home took him to when they admitted him, Rufus was well into his teens - possibly even in his upper teens! He had some intractable medical problems in his digestive tract - almost certainly due to subsisting on a very poor diet.

Estimated age here: somewhere between 15 and 19 years old. (The vet couldn't be more precise, as a rough life and a poor diet had taken its toll.)

Requiescat in pace, my beloved Rufus, until we meet again.
