I try to avoid watching the episode where Mozart, Flower, Carlos and Kinkajou pass away in, but have seen the episode where Mozart passes a couple of times, but don't remember hearing about her former group members with the exception of Kinkajou.
I to loved Mozart and will miss her very much. She would have been a great leader of the Whiskers, following in her mothers footsteps. I will never forget the beautiful words spoken by Sean Astin as they showed her lying in the sand. Goodbye, R. I. P.
MOART IS A VERY UNLUCKY GAL I REALLY MISS HER AND HER BROTHER I WISH SHE HAD NOT DIED I WAS GLAD KINKAJU DIED SHE WAS MEAN TO MOSART. IF ANY BODY HERE MISSES MOSART AND EVERY MEERKAT WHO LOST THERE LIVES.
flowerqok that is mean to say about kinjajoe even if she was mean to mozart i the begining she was nice to her right befor she died. mozart love her half sister.
Today's reruns remind me of Mozart's loving nature---caring for Flower's pups in the face of the owl feather, not killing the pups. Unusually tender meerkat. Still love & miss her. I've heard that Sophie is in the new season, and am looking so forward to that.
Sorry! This ran as a separate post. It was intended to be included here with all the other beautiful and heartbreaking tributes to Mozart.

Dear Mozart, tonight the Whiskers are moving on and Oh, how I'm going to miss seeing your sweet, determined face and the faces of so many other meerkats I've grown to know and love, among them. You will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.
Your kind, compassionate and unselfish nature SHOULD have earned you the love and closeness of your family. Instead, it brought you banishment, hunger, lonliness, loss and betrayal. Eventually the promise of your life broke under the weight of all those Shadows and yet YOU NEVER GAVE UP! A lesser soul would have, but NOT you - your will to live was THAT strong.
To me, this is Courage. To endure the unendurable. It is the hardest of paths to travel for there is no glory, no fame, no sound. Only quiet. This is why I loved you. Inch for inch, paw for paw, Mozart, you truely were your mother's daughter. If only she had seen.
And even though this new season is upon us, I will return to this site often - to honor and remember you and other meerkats - because heroes - especially gentle, quiet ones - should not be forgotten.
I loved Mozart too and was totally sad when she died but she died a fighter and probably lived a lot longer than a normal evicted meerkat would have. She will be missed.
Thanks everyone who still posts here. i like to return, too, parmelia. Yes, RD, Maybelline & Sophie are certainly worth watching, even as they remind us of those grand women of the Kalahari who went before. And grand men, meerkats, that is.
As a non-practicing biologist, I feel sad each time when one of the meerkats dies. Where I am living now we're not able to watch at the same time as the new Meerkat Manor episodes are airing in the States. I just watched Kinkajou die a couple of weeks ago, and last week I watched Mozart die. It's hard to grasp that the biologists at the Kalahari not to feel sad or heartsticken. Especially Mozart's death was the hardest for me because this little one had been through all kinds of hardship. I don't know why these field researchers are doing showing the viewers these sad stories, even though there are deaths & births everyday. I'm sure if the show is not shown this way, people, including me, may be able to take it a little bit better. I thought she'd have had a good life with Wilson, but life took a different turn. Life/living is hard at Kalahari as is, and protraying these meerkats with personalities which we humans can identify makes harder for us humans to accept the meerkats' deaths. I will truly miss Mozart, as she was the trusted babysitter, lonesome mother, who tried so hard to rejoin her family before her death. Take good care my sweet girl, Mozart!!
