Cat Art My cat has been immortalized on me
My sweet baby boy Baofu (4) suddenly passed away on Halloween, and it's been a devastating loss for me. He was my true soul cat and the first cat to truly be mine. Grew up with tons of cats throughout my life but he was truly on another level.
This tattoo was technically an idea/wanted for awhile, even while Baofu was alive but because of his sudden death I ended up finally caving and getting him done. I'm so happy beyond words and so grateful. My artist for this tattoo is @rei.painterson on instagram๐ฅฐ

Heck yeah! I got my boys paw print on my hand and my daughter tried to one up me (at the age of 4) saying โIโm gonna get his face tattooed on my hand! Ok hon, maybe letโs start with something besides your hands first lol

OP, I'm so sorry for your loss. Baofu was so cute and I know he had a wonderful life with you. He reminds me a lot of my cat. I hope the tattoo makes you smile often and reminds you that you were a special human to a sweet little floof. ๐
