When Sasha first picked it up, it was too thin, which made Elizabeth think he was just a kitten, but when the veterinarian told him that the cat was actually almost five years old, he was very surprised, obviously the cat was not in a good condition at the time, it was extremely malnourished, so Elizabeth also paid 10 points of attention to her diet behind, chicken, pork, and beef and other high-quality foods were all arranged on the **10,000 Fan Incentive Plan

It lives in a tiger fence in a train station every day, and soon came out there, and the employees in the train station also like him very much, and feed him every day, so he is actually adopted by the employees in the train station, and this quiet day is more than 30 years.
However, the tragedy occurred on that day in 2012, a veterinarian passing by the station, mistook him for a stray cat, so he took it and euthanized it, which aroused the strong indignation of all the citizens, and even made the news, if it were not for this, Mismus might have lived longer, and may even be the title of the world's longest-lived cat.
