Oh no. I have her trainers autograph and picture with KoKo when I saw them in person. Penny Patterson is a fantastic person. No more kittens for KoKo. :crycry:

And the world is a bit sadder for it. :darkcloud: I still remember when the book Koko's Kitten came out when I was in grade school. You will be missed, Koko.

koko and alex had so much to teach us if we'd listen.
Your analogy is so correct....and yes, as @faislaq said, the world is just a bit sadder today.

Rest Easy...and Thanks, Koko...

Never even heard of Koko! What a heartwarming being.

Gosh was in SanDiego a few years back & it would have been nice to meet her or see her as we are not Robin Williams & would not get a one on one with her.

Wonder if she watched tv/ movies...Whats the sign for Nanu Nanu...

We underestimate so many animals but still I wonder with as good as her life was inside drinking soda pop if she would have really just wanted to be in the jungle with other gorillas having babies???

Shame she never had a baby. Would have been nice to see if she could have taught them sign language...

Oh.......I am so saddened. I loved Koko, I had a CD of him and I have watched lots of Youtube videos of him. I like the one with Robin Williams and I have always followed all of Koko's pet cats. Was Koko a girl? I guess I never new, I just assumed a boy.
