Our Sanskrit speaking cat, Babloo, passed away this morning at the age of 20. He used to respond to me calling him with आगच्छ. He was a very loving cat, and we will miss him very much. Here is my Sanskrit verse for Babloo:
मार्जारकुलजातस्त्वं जातोऽस्मत्कुलनन्दन: ।
गतोऽपि त्वं देवलोकं मनस्तो न गतोऽसि न: ।।
