On June 15th, actress Ishida Yuriko posted on her pet Instagram channel “snowhoney3ohagi” that she is temporarily taking care of a one-month old kitten which was brought to an animal hospital after a pet store tried to put up in an auction.
The kitten is small that it can fit in her palm. The kitten was isolated from other cats because it was being treated for fungus and a cold.
Ishida who is known for raising cats (and a dog), made an offer to take care of the kitten at her home and to keep a close eye and nurse it.
On June 15th, Ishida gave the baby a temporary name….Babu.
On June 18th, while the kitten has no interested in milk, he is growing and she is able to feed it and Baby was eating and starting to get bigger.
Then on June 20th, Ishida gave the latest update that Babu had passed away at 3:00 a.m. and has gone to heaven. Ishida said the kitten was cute to the very end and she is sad and the death is painful for her.
Ishida found a favorite postcard by Inokuma Jinichiro in which she added her dog Snow and her cats with little Babu on the top of the woman’s head.
And then she posted video and photos of the funeral of Babu:
