I had a cat named Nacho who unfortunately died a little more than 10 days ago and he was a very good cat, I adopted him in April 2020 and I will never forget him, he was orange and very energetic and the name Nacho suited him well but after his death I feel that something is missing inside me, I hope my kitten is well in cat heaven and has been reunited with his family. In honor of Nachito 2020-2024
