First of all, sorry it took so long to post this, but I'm new and had trouble signing in until today. I just had to show my love for Mozart. She was my fave and I love her like I love my own pets. I burst into tears when I saw her lying there dead. I was shocked. Especially after everything she had been through. After they came safely out of the burrow after that fire, I was like "phew". I thought she'd get through anything and that things would fall into place for her. She seemed almost invincible. Bless her little courageous heart. She was such a sweetheart. I also must say, what a comfort to come here and see that I'm not alone!!! I couldn't believe the way I was crying. I had tears just running everywhere. It took forever to compose myself. Anyway, nice to meet you all. I will love you forever, Mozart!!!!!!
honey_buns, I know how you feel, it was like a river was flowing in my house ever since that episode! I miss her so much still..Tomorrow is her birthday and we all should get on and say a little something about her just to remember her and how sweet and caring she was!
Reading athenaxvii's true account of Mozart's death (see thread "Back from KMP") helped me cope with her death. I bothered me that some predator may have killed her for sport and just left her there. Her death would have been pointless. We now know that she was killed by a bird of prey and was eaten, which strangely gave me comfort.
It occurred to me that both Flower and Mozart died as they had lived. Even though Flower wasn't defending pups in the borrow when she was bitten by the snake, the fact remains that she was acting in defense of her home and family, which she did every day that she was DF. Mozart gave of herself, feeding and caring for others. Ultimately, she was called upon to give her very life for someone else's sustenance. These thoughts gave rise to a little tribute I wrote for Mozart. Look for a thread titled "For Mozart" in the Tributes section. I hope it helps those of you who are grieving as much as it helped me.
Originally posted by maw467: I can't stop crying. Mozart went through so many things that no other meerkat could survived...and she was SO close to having someone to be with and she wouldn't have to be alone anymore...she died not knowing wilson came back for her..she died alone...i hate that her life was so horrible, and how she spent so much time thinking no one wanted her...i wish i never started watching this show...it breaks my heart over and over again and i think this one was the worst...
Gosh, that is a wonderful way to think of it, oreocreme--how Mozart sustained a raptor (and maybe a family). But it's still hard to see it in words. Like so many here, i keep hoping it was all a big mistake, and just over the next burrow, Mozart will pop up with a new tribe.
It was wonderful. Mozart was my favorite, and even though I knew that she died from KMP, I hoped she died during winter, so I wouldn't see any details. I will miss her always.
don't know if this has been covered yet or not (too many replies to go through), but if Mozart was actually killed by a bird of prey-it makes me wonder, then who really was that meerkat laying there st the end of the show?
Well tomorrow friday the 21 of march 2008 I will see Mozart going to heaven...(crying already....) I didn,t see that episode but I'm preparing myself sniffff.... I know what will happend but I just can't help myself....
R.I.P. DEAR SWEET ANGEL MOZART...♥♥♥
For those who are still in pain about our Sweet Princess Mozart....
I just want to say that I hope in Heaven Mozart gets all the love and happiness (and scorpions) that she deserved on Earth. She was an amazing meerkat who was incredibly strong and resilient and one of my family's favorites. We just watched the episode and bawled our eyes out. We are devastated. The fact that Wilson was a little too late tears my heart apart. I can't handle that she died alone. Atleast they shared one special night together, and he comforted her from the fires. Mozart, you will always be in our hearts. God Bless all the Whiskers Forever!
Hi 2catmom2. Mozart was so strong. It seems that she came so close at the end to having a family, but fate dealt her a rough hand to play. She deserved more. It is so sad when any kat dies, but Mozart was so sweet and just wanted to belong.
Thanks nightweaver67675 for the kind words. Reading all of these postings does however, in some way, give me some peace. Knowing how much Mozart was loved and admired by so many is a testament to the sweet creature she was. There are so many beautiful verses written on this blog---I wish they could use them to do a memorial for her as well! We miss you Mozart.
It is amazing the amount of respect and love for these little kats, 2catmom2. I went to the AP site right after Journey's End and found such an outpouring for Flower and when Mozart died, the reaction was touching. She had been through so much. I am glad you find peace here, I do too. I also try to think what it would be like to never have known Flower, Mozart and all of the kats. I think that would be a bigger void than looking into their lives and loving them. Mozart may have been physically alone, but I will always believe that a lot of people were "with her" in spirit.
