My wife spotted this over on the AIC web page. There's a special "memo" page that's not generally known about unless you know where to look (at the bottom of the main page), where the webmaster talks about this and that.
The memo that was just posted notes that "Omae", Hayashi Hiroki's cat and the model for "Ura" on El-Hazard, passed away on November 22 at the age of 12. There's a picture included with the message.

Poor kitty. Gawd, it really does look like Ura doesn't it?
-
Yeah, that's almost a bit creepy.

A piece of El-Hazard history has just died.
-
12 years... Far too young for a cat to be passing away. *Sniff* :'(
Here's hoping he/she was happy in the years he/she was given.
Rest In Peace, Omae! May you be an Armor Cat in your next life. ;D
-
May you rest in peace, Omae.

My condolences to Hayashi Hiroki. I know what it's like to lose a pet. (I've got a cat in my lap as I type this.)
That is a good cat picture. It looks like that cat had a lot of personality.

Well, here. Have some good kitty news for a change.
We just adopted a two-month old kitten that had been abandoned on hospital parking lot. Someone brought her to our vet, who asked if we'd be interested.
Having two cats and a dog already, of course we said yes. :)
Her name is Rakka, and she's just starting to get the idea that she's lucked into the good life.

An Egyptian Mau! Those cats are really high strung. ^^; They're cute though. My grandpa had one for years and my friend has one, too. They're usually pretty shy, but they grow on you eventually.

I wonder what breed of cat that is...
Its uncanny how much alike they look :o
My condolences to Hayashi-san. :'(

Actually, I believe that Saucer was referring to js_morris's new cat, Rakka, here. I don't think anyone's identified Omae's breed on this list yet...

Meh. I never had a cat, so I guessed I'm not really paying attention. :P Personally, I always thought of them as more territorial animals, not real friendly, sociable animals like dogs or guinea pigs.

Ha. You obviously have not been "gratitude attacked" by a cat in the dead of night, consisting of nosing your hand until it is in prime petting position, going back and forth, leaning into said hand so you can note how soft and silky the fur is, granting the Holy Gift of Nose Kiss on one's face, and climaxed by shaking one's head so that the accumulated drool of the attack goes flying in every direction.
I get this almost every night from our eldest cat Misato. :)
There's also the alternative of waking up to find a kitten sound asleep and/or purring happy while stretched out across your neck, as my daughter experienced this morning with Rakka.
This was okay. It was when Rakka sneezed all over Shelby's face that my daughter questioned the wisdom of permitting such actions. :)

Yeah, Rakka is an Egyptian Mao.... I think. Right Morris? ^^;
I don't know what Omae-chan was. One of those flat-faced breeds apparently. They're supposed to be pretty mellow. ^___^
I know all about the "gratitude attack." My cat Cindy used to scratch and cry at my bedroom door for hours until I finally gave up sleep and let her in. Then, after I finally got back to sleep she'd want to be let out again. I was lucky if I only got a wet nose in my eye. I usually got a paw full of claws applied directly to my scalp. Or, if I managed to roll over and ignore her, she would proceed to lumber around in the dark and knock over everything she came in contact with.
I do miss her though. She was with me for almost 20 years. :bawl

To be honest, we're not sure. She's got definite tabby markings up front, but your guess is as good as ours.
She's settling in quite nicely, though. Takes no guff from the other animals and is very loving.
