The Japanese do love their cats, don't they? An appropriate send-off.
I do think, however, they were lucky that cat tolerated the clothing.
And what's the comment at the end of the article about another cat of
the same breed as Tama taking her place? I didn't realize calicos were
all that rare.

Sionara, Tama.

Dunno about calicos, per se, but MALE calicos certainly are - seems its
a gender related trait.

Except Tama *was* female. The calico coat is definitely a female trait.
