No one wanted her' he continued. 'We were supposed to look after her for a few weeks. Well, here we are almost 13 years later and I'm so grateful that my home was her home'.

She loved a belly rub anda chin scratch more than anyone.' Sam said he lost his previous cat, Coco, a few months before his first child Margot was born. 'No we've lost Catra a few weeks before baby two is due.

There's a big (sentimental) part of me that believes they were guiding me through to my next chapter' he said. Sam Mac (pictured) has shared sad news with his followers.
