Posters in memory of tram cat Ake have appeared at the Oude Plantage tram stop. The posters read \u201cLeft us much too soon. Sleep well, \u2018tram cat\u2019 Ake\u201d.<\/p>\n

The favourite pet of many EUR students died last week, probably as a result of an ear infection. On his Facebook page<\/a>, the poster campaign was very well received. \u201cA lovely memorial at his own tram stop\u201d, wrote Mirel Mirel. <\/em>\u201cA very nice gesture\u201d, others wrote.<\/p>\n

So far, the RET have been unable to find out exactly who was responsible for the posters. According to his owner, Silke Reijngoud, employees who look after the tram stops had hung up the posters. She also really appreciated the action, and said it was an \u2018amazingly sweet gesture!\u2019<\/p>\n

Tram cat Ake was 12 years old<\/a>. A few months ago, he became \u2018world famous\u2019 <\/a>when international media reported about his Facebook page. He had 32,000 likes.<\/p>\n\n\t
