Akira told Bored Panda that Pancho appeared in their lives 13 years ago when an elementary school student found the abandoned cat and took it upon himself to protect and care for him. Eventually, the student recruited a new owner for Pancho and the feline became a beloved member of the family. Over the past 13 years, this furball has been a constant source of joy and companionship for all those who have had the pleasure of knowing him.

That’s why he looks sad in photos sometimes

According to Akira, Pancho is a true lover of all. The furry feline has an infectious personality that draws people towards him, and he has an equally endearing way of showing affection. “Everyone loves Pancho and Pancho loves everyone in return. He gets along well with everyone. And he is very spoiled.”

Capturing the essence of Pancho on camera is no small feat, but as Akira knows, it can be done with the right approach.

As the owner explains, it’s not always easy to get the perfect shot. “If I talk to him while he’s sleeping in the daytime and take a picture, I can easily take a good picture,” she said. “But Pancho can look troublesome at times.”

Despite his low-spirited look, Pancho is a pretty happy cat

Pancho’s charm and charisma have captivated the hearts of many, and it’s clear that he has the potential to become a true feline sensation. As Akira watches the popularity of her beloved pet continue to grow, it’s clear that Pancho is well on his way to becoming a true celebrity in the world of cats.

But for Akira, the most important thing is not the fame or fortune that might come with having a famous cat, but the joy that Pancho brings to others. “I am grateful,” Akira says, “that so many people love Pancho and that he has brought happiness into their lives.”
