Nin, the Mt Washington kitty since the mid-90s, died. He was roughly 19-20 years old.

I actually met him twice.

He lived a long life....RIP Nin.

Inga, the kitty before him (whom I also saw and still have a poster of...bought it the day I saw here....its about 20 yrs old ) also lived to about 20

Maybe its something in the air?


Here's to Marty....may he live as long!!

Or good care takers.

I've been to Mount Washington so many times but I've never been to the top.

The top is a zoo, esp if you hike up....you're in the woods, the tundra, the alpine zone for a several hours, scramble up a rock pile...and then-WHAM!!

Cars, a train, and gift shops, hahha...its another world.

Next time I head up I wanna try to get a glimpse of Mr. Marty

Here's a page with more pictures of Nin and a couple of Inga: http://www.mountwashington.org/photos/galleries/?g=8

The current cat, Marty, is shown at the bottom of this page: http://www.mountwashington.org/about/staff/observer.php

I've never met Nin, but from what I've read, it seems like he was an absolutely lovely cat. These photos of him are very striking. RIP, Nin.

I hope my kitties can live that long..."RILEY!!! put down that knife.....you want to lose your other eye???" *sigh* cats
