In his later years, the tom was taken in by the admin to the Kindom of Tigers, facebook page.

A heart-wrenching video was posted on the facebook page showing Maew’s final moments. He is seen lying on his cat bed with his cat covers as he succumbs to feline kidney failure.

Reports say that since the passing of Maew Asoke’s best cat-friend, he lost his spark and was never the same.
