My heart is in a continous state of saddness this season. I was so afraid to watch this past episode but I'm glad that I did. Even though Mozart was a alone when she died at least we all accompanied her with our hearts. May she rest in the splendor of the manor to which she was born. Although this season was devasting and heart breaking I'm glad that so many of us have embraced these wonderful and amazing creatures. To all creatures great and small life is an adventure no matter the hardships.

When I went on to the website today I expected to see a memorial or an on line interview for Mozart just like one for Flower. I was heartbroken at the end of this episode as I realized that she was alone at her death and that she had such a tough life. I have been routing for her since the beginning. I also have questions such as- was she buried beside her mother and can we find out more about her death. It was mentioned that it was probably a jackal but her body didn't look mutilated or were the cameras just being kind. Also did Wilson really go looking for her or was that made up.
Anyway I am glad that there are others that feel the same way as me.
I am almost afraid to watch the season finale. I have come to love these creatures but their hard lives and untimely deaths are getting a bit tough for me to take. The writers and producers have done a fine job in making the meerkats appear human

This season has been so very sad if though I know it is silly sometimes I feel as if I want to take my two Irish Terriers, German Shepherd and my horse and go out there and and ride around with my dogs to protect all of the meerkats from all there preditors. By gosh we would take care of those Hawks, snakes and all other animals that go after our Meerkats!

Please I don't mean anything against Flower or how much we all loved her too but in some ways I feel Mozart's death is effecting us more because poor Mozart was such a special Meerkat and never seem to have a chance at being happy and having a mob and all her babies around her like Flower. Flower's death was AWFUL but for some reason Mozart's is even sadder because we all felt how much she wanted to be with someone and be protected into a mob again.
I am praying that next season is better on our Meerkats. I know it is real life but please I would like to see not only death but the bonding and caring for each other that we saw in the previous seasons. I would love it to be more closer to 50/50 than 10/90 towards harsh sad life for these sweet little ones.

I understand what you are saying about Flower.
Someone on one of these sites said it best and something like: Flower had everything and wanted for nothing, Mozart had nothing and wanted everything. She was always on the outside looking in. Kind of like a new kid in school wanting to be accepted and never is. Mozart tried so hard and we all pulled for her. Each episode she was in was heartbreaking. Just tore at you time and time again. At least she is at peace and suffering no more. Bless her little heart!

Thank you for your heartfelt words and I'm glad that you guys enjoyed the poem.

This Season but especially Mozarts death has been so difficult for me and I've stated from the end of the episode that it didn't feel like it was our Mozart, especially in the final shot. As it turns out I was right it wasn't our Mozart, the truth is that Mozart was killed by a raptor and once again MM producers chose to portray the truth differently. First Shakespeare then Flower and now Mozart will they ever show us the truth and not their version of the truth.
This is getting very frustrating and hopefully they rethink how they air the truth in Season 4.

As I've written so many times in different postings throughout these board:

Mozart was stronger than Flower, she had to be to survive.
Flower strived for nothing and had everything.
Mozart strived for everything and had nothing.

Mozart now has everything she strived for and more it's just to bad that it took her dying to get it.

RIP Princess of the Kalahari

I'm new to this so I may make mistakes. I wanted to ask, what is untruthful about the episodes about Flower and Mozart's bodies?
I wondered how she was killed. I thought probably her stress and lack of food may have been a factor. Are you saying that the body shown on Friday's episode was not Mozart's and that her real fate was different?

I am new to this chat room, so bear with me.
My life and Mozart's are very very similar.
You said if they were, that person would be in heaven. Her trials and tribulations are somewhat like mine, I was so upset by her death.

True is the life that gives all and asks nothing in return.

True is the life where love dwells and hate seldom takes refuge.

True is the life that lives on the fringes of society yet still flourishes.

In Mozart, lived truth. And in us all, lives a bit of Mozart. But only a bit - or heaven would call us home to live amoung the truly pure.

I've never posted to these boards and probably never will again. But I felt I owed it to my sweet baby, Mozart. May you lay content in God's knowing arms. You were much too good for this world.

If this is the correct place to ask questions about episodes, I have some about Mozart's death. Do you think if she had gone underground instead of looking for Wilson, that she would have survived? Why didn't she and Wilson go off on their own and start a family instead of going back to the Commandos? Someone posted something that puzzled me about the producers not telling the truth in episodes about the deaths of some meerkats. Does anyone know the answers to my questions? tw

MY TRIBUTE TO MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE MEERKAT, THROUGH THE WORDS OF OUR MOB (in order of posts):

well....this one finally got me. I was doing so good holding back my tears but you got me. I always tivo the show and watch it late Sunday so it doesn't ruing my weekend, just adds to the pain of a Monday. As hard as I took Flower's death, I can't believe Mozart hit me harder. Even though I knew what was coming since I just couldn't stay away from the spoiler section (why do we have that?) I still couldn't watch the show by myself and had to ask my husband to stay with me in the room. He didn't think I was crazy, he likes them too.

I only wish one thing, that they had given her the respect she deserved and named the episode in her honor somehow.

WHY?!?!?!?!? !!!!!!!!


(NOTICE THERE ARE 13 SAD FACES. 13 IS THE UNLUCKY #!)


R.I.P. Mozart, I will never forget you. NEVER! NEVER EVER. U HEAR ME? NNNNEEEEVVVVEEEERRRR!!!

Poor Mozart, she never got any real good breaks. The Poor thing had her pups killed more than once and her family was never there for her and she got pushed around. Rest in Peace sweet Mozart!!! There is a special place in heaven for gentle kind meerkats like you. She is preserved for ever on film! Bless you sweet meerkat!

No creature, great and small, human or animal should have a life as hard as Mozart's. She only had a few moments of peace after her final eviction from the Whiskers--her interludes with Carlos and Wilson. She only loved and wanted to be loved. I love her so much that it hurts too much to write this. I saw parts of The Graduate tonight(Monday) but couldn't bring myself to see the entire episode. Rest in Peace Princess.

Motzart, a goddess among us,

Motzart, a loving mother from the start,

and even though your heart maybe burning,

and even though nothing will ever be the same,
youve just gotta remember this to remember her,

just say her name,

You can post questions to specific people and if they want they will answer. Based on your postings you are questioning what I wrote.

Yes it's true MM Producers used creative licensing to change the storyline from the truth.

Regarding Flower she did not run in to save newborn pups when she was bit, they embellished upon the truth.
The truth is that Flower when bitten miscarried her litter and although the researchers tried deperately to save her, she died. There were no babysitters or pups in a burrow, that was added for dramatics to increase ratings.
The truth about Mozart is she was killed by a raptor not a jackal and that was not her body they showed at the end of the episode laying in the sand. Again the producers showed their version for the dramatics of a storyline.

If you'd like to read more of the truth go to the main board and look for the thread titled "Back from KMP". Athena just got back from there and spoke in depth with the researchers and thus got the truth. The book that just came out also has the truth regarding Flowers death.

My understanding is the researchers film the goings on and MM Producers change it to fit a soap opera they want to air.

Meerkata, and All,

If you look at the 'Talk about Meerkat Manor Here' thread, then you'd see that there were 4 threads started, I posted on all of them. I loved the one 'Mozart, the epitome of love'...just lovely, with peoms and sentiments from her loving fans.

Mozart was the sister of my heart. She was my counter-part in the animal world. Her life has mirrored mine in many aspects, except that I will never leave behind a progeny, no legacy as Mozart and Flower have.

Mozart was born on 11/8 I was born on 11/4, we're so much alike, it's all writen in the stars.

As my little Sun Angel, sits now in eternal sunshine, my heart is filled with gloom. Sadness is the accompaniment to the sorrowful song in my heart...Missing Mozart.

Rest in Peace Dearest Princess Mozart
Missing and Loving you always,
Christine

Well I have been trying to digest this season of
tragedy and triumph. Losing Kinkajou,and Mozart was a shock,after Carlos,Daisy,Len and Suiggy..Zaphod leaving and the loss of theKalahari Superstar..Flower.The only thing that helps is knowing they are together in another burrow,with plenty to eat and angels like Steve Irwin and Jaques Cousteau watching over them. I love this show I respect the truth
in which the researchers and AP for giving us the good and the bad...the happy and the sad,
My couch and I have a date every week with the Whiskers and as I have said before, I like my front row seats. The things that happen on MM
remind us to live life to the fullest,appreciate family and to keep on keepin on, the tears return now and then, but that's ok

Thank you so much for letting us know the truth of how they died. Even if it is still sad, it is the truth and most people prefer and can handle honesty.

Yes. A reference no doubt, to a movie made when I was a little girl, about a young college graduate who gets involved with an older woman. So, yes, Wilson is a "graduate" of sorts, but Mozart was much nicer by far than Mrs. Robinson (though these days she would be called a "cougar".) Then again, sometimes humans could learn a lesson about how to be nicer to each other from a little meerkat.

Grief is complicated. Those of us who have already lost a parent (as I did 27 years ago), or an old friend (as I did a *week* ago today), are not nearly as floored by this latest loss on the Manor, but this episode is just a quiet punctuation to the lesson that death and loss are a part of life.

The best any of us can do is live the best way we can with what we have, and remember those who have touched us.

Take care, all.

Such beautiful words for a beautiful Meerkat

Your welcome, if they are portraying the life and death of the Meerkats then in my opinion tell the truth about their deaths. I would rather hear the truth then to have you make up a soap opera storyline for dramatics to heighten your ratings. Then at a later time find out the truth. Not that it'll change the outcome but I feel like they think we are a bunch of idiots that we can't handle the truth, or they think we will never learn the truth. They should really give the viewers more credit than that.

Like I said so many times, we would not have thought any less of Flower if they would have shown the truth. We knew that she was an incredible mother, a brave leader and a devoted mate and friend.
They didn't need to embellish upon the storyline to try and convince us of what we already knew.

Regarding Mozart I feel that she was grabbed fleeing from the fight between the Commandos and the Whiskers, so why not just say that. Afterall there was a camerman out there at the time did he/she see it happen, was it caught on film? We may never know, but I wish the would honor them enough to tell the truth.
