Goodbye, Jochi! 🌈
Friends, sad news from the Howletts Wild Animal Park, UK: the wonderful manul Jochi, the youngest son of the legendary Temuchin, has passed away 💔
Jochi lived a long manul life — he was 10 years old.
We dreamed of meeting him in purrrson and were head over heels in love with his funny snub-nosed, serious little face and his expressive, grumpy, sidelong glare. Now his photos will remain with us all as a keepsake 🙏
Jochi, you grumpy fluffy gentlecat, we adore you and will always remember you ❤️
May you have an endless, sunlit heavenly steppe, at your disposal dear manul! May your teeth stay sharp and strong, and may the hunt for rats and pikas always be successful!

Today I read another article about the weak immune system of Pallas's cats. What are 10 years, really? But for our little furballs, that is already a long life 😭
Good hunting in the upper tundra, cat!
A bright rainbow to you, Juchi! We will remember! 🥲
I learned his name for the first time a few years ago as a manul who survived toxoplasmosis. I don't know what caused his passing away, it's a small mercy he lived as long as ten years. But I miss him.
Rest in peace, Jochi🙏
I wasn't familiar with Jochi, it's always hard to keep up with all the wonderful manuls around the world, but thanks to the community we can always take these sad occasions to appreciate the greatness of these cats in life. I'm sure he had a good life and both keepers and visitors were very fond of him
10 long years of a fluffy life. May he have a good time in heaven
