We’ve got some really sad news this morning, guys. Feline Instagram influencer Loki the Sphynx has died.
Loki was an eight year old male Sphynx cat – a breed of cat known for its lack of coat – who shot to fame on Instagram thanks to his incredibly grumpy face, which was even grumpier than the original Grumpy Cat.
Who knew that was even possible? Loki was adopted by his humans, Brent Erickson and Sara Kjelsvig, who lived with their furless baby in New York.
Yesterday, they made the shocking announcement that their little buddy had died suddenly during a routine dental procedure.
‘Brent and I are absolutely devastated, we unexpectedly lost our little buddy and best friend last night,’ Sara wrote on Loki’s Instagram.
‘We brought Loki in for a routine dental cleaning and during recovery one of the staff noticed an increase in his breathing. ‘They tried everything but his little heart couldn’t take it. Loki didn’t make it. The vet suspects he had underlying heart disease that didn’t show until yesterday.
‘We know a lot of you never met Loki but he made a great impact on all of you. Today we will be posting a bunch of our favorite photos of him and we ask you to share your Loki stories with us.
‘Thank you all for being so loving and supportive. We can never say thank you enough. And to Loki, we love you forever little buddy.’
…and thanking Loki’s fans for their kind words
Loki’s humans have been posting their favourite pics of Loki, with his fans sharing their condolences. Rest in peace, little buddy. Hope you’re hanging out with all the other cool cats in the sky.
