Sato’s good news came days after she announced on Instagram on Monday that Kabosu had stopped eating and drinking on her own on Christmas Eve.

In a follow-up Instagram post on Wednesday, she revealed that her pet has been diagnosed with acute cholangiohepatitis, a type of liver disease, and chronic lymphoma leukemia, a type of blood cancer.

Kobasu, known to the internet as "Doge," went viral after Sato uploaded a picture of her in 2010.

A netizen shared the photo on Reddit in October 2010 and referred to her as "Doge.” Countless netizens began making “Doge” memes featuring Kabosu’s unamused face and her iconic pose with one paw crossed over the other.

In addition to the memes, Kobasu is also the face of the parody cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which has become one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market value.
