Martha Stewart’s 19-year-old Cat Dies
Karen Nichols

Sad news, today. Martha Stewart’s beloved Himalayan, Mozart, has gone to the Rainbow Bridge:

There’s sad news on the celebrity pet owner front today: Martha Stewart’s 19-year-old cat, Mozart, has died. Stewart took to Twitter this morning to tell her followers of his passing, saying the lynx-Himalayan had “a beautiful life.”

The animal-loving domestic doyenne has had a tough year: She lost her beloved chow Paw Paw in April of 2008, and her chow puppy Ghenghis Khan was killed in a deadly kennel explosion on March 6. Mozart was laid to rest right next to Paw Paw on her Connecticut property, she wrote on Twitter.

Stewart is also mom to French bulldogs Francesca and Sharkey.

    Mom met Martha Stewart once at a cookbook signing and they chatted for a few minutes and she was quite gracious. We all send our condolences to her. 19 years is quite a long relationship and it must be a huge loss. Rest in peace Mozart.

    Bummer. She’s a major animal lover so you know this really hurts her.

    Bless sweet Mozart.

    Mozart was a gorgeous baby. My Siamese Sheba was 18 when she went to the Bridge and even though when they get that age, you know they’re passing is always impending, it’s still heartbreaking. We’re partial to Chows in our family, too, after having Emilio. We’re praying for Martha.

    Man, Martha is having one heck of a year, huh?
