Mozart passed away at nineteen years of age. He was a very beautiful lynx Himalayan, a rather rare variety of my favorite breed of cat. He was bred in Connecticut and I waited patiently a long time for him. As a kitten, Mozart was especially adorable. As he matured, his adult personality was that of an elusive, mysterious, and most wonderful feline. When friends and guests would come to visit, a favorite game was to try and spot or catch a glimpse of Mozart. I will certainly miss him and so will my other cats and dogs.
