Mumbai, Jun 22 (IANS): Actor Chandan Roy Sanyal took to social media on Tuesday to mourn the death of his pet cat TinTin, who succumbed to injuries after a fight. The actor expressed how deeply he is affected and urged netizens to love animals around them.

"I lost TinTin today or as i fondly called him Tintu - he succumbed to his injuries in a fight. He was a hardcore street fighter and a moody rascal. He adored me and always waited for me till I came back in the nights and took the lifts with me. First time I met him wounded, took him to a doctor, he didn't even flinch once, how tough he was. Today morning I found him dead," Chandan wrote in an Instagram post.

Talking about the bond he shared with the cat, the actor added: "I wish he came one more time to ask for his food, every-time I opened the door, he was there. Now he wont come, heart sinks thinking about him. This bond was so special. He didn't even live with me, still I am affected deeply and I thank him for arousing that side in me. He taught me unconditional love. How magical it is to feel like this for someone. We met by chance and he became a part of my life. Bye Bye my baby. You were very dear to me. Give a chance to animals around you . They will be yours forever. RIP. #tintin #myboy."

On the work front, Chandan will next be seen in the upcoming Netflix anthology "Ray", which is slated to release this week.
