I am sorry to have to announce that Mytton, star of the Internet and world famous grumpy old woman, died peacefully in her sleep, in her favourite spot in the garden, at about 2 o' clock this afternoon. She will be sadly missed.
She has been respectfully interred under a tree which bears many scratch marks from her extremely sharp claws. As requested, she is well away from her two arch enemies, Jip and Poppy.
sorry to hear that, but it sounds like a nice way to go, glad she was peaceful at the end..I'll remember her sitting on the pole for a long time :( :)

Just want to say how sorry I am that you've lost your lovely pet....been reading daily about Myeton and it seems she was a great character, can't ever remember seeing pics of her as I've only recently started to get more involved in the group.

Sweet old girl, what a lovely way to go. You'll miss her so much, however cantankerous she was.
Dream on girl,
Farewell to a grand old lady. She'll be sadly missed - but remembered with a smile.
Mean, Moody and Magnificent Mytton. Feel really sad that she has gone :'( :'( .Atleast it was peaceful for the puss and she is in her favourite place. What kind of tree is it? I will always remember her with a smile...I have her gate post picture in my pictures and see her most days when the slide show comes up.
Really sorry for you Eric. Thankyou for letting us enjoy Mytton and allowing us to know about her right until the end. She was an internet star wasn't she. ;D
:'(
Poor Mytton and poor Eric and family. Glad she went in her sleep, and how lovely to be in the garden where she will not be forgotten.
Wish I'd stroked her properly last time i was home... Not that she would have appreciated it though! She had a long and happy life (not bad for a cat who took two years to be persuaded to come into the house!)
Eric everthing has been said about girl thingy cat, my best wishes to you & yours.
Mary. Thank you for letting us get to know your Mytton.
So sorry to hear about Mytton, Eric. She will be greatly missed by you and the family but you will have many happy memories of her as time passes by.
I was just telling a friend about this grand old gal, and I said she will be giving them what for in Heaven, I was reminded that animals don't go to heaven, I don't believe it.. if they can't go, I'me not going either.
Give'em heck sweetie...make your prescence known. You have a reputation to keep up!!

It is funny, but since in a way it was a relief when she died. I mean no-one likes to watch suffering and be able to do nothing to relieve it. Today is the first time it has hit me. I went into the Vets this morning to return the tablets she could not manage to keep down and to cross her off their list of patients.
She was the kind of cat I like. she was friendly on her own terms. Never a knee sitter, but always spoke to you when she was in the garden going about those mysterious things that cats find to do.
Thanks folks.
