Mogwai

Mogwai – September 2007 to July 20, 2010

She arrived just over a year ago. She was bought to be a feeder breeder but only gave the guy 1 small litter so was useless to his business. He put up an ad for free rat. He was thrilled I would take her in as a pet, as he said she was so tame it would be a waste for her to be fed to his friend’s snake.

I named her Mogwai which are the cute little creatures that turn into Gremlins when you break those rules. It rapidly got shortened to Moggy.

I soon discovered Moggy was a nursemaid. A very bossy one who would nip me if I got too close to her charges but a loving one all the same.

She comforted Valora in her last days and stayed with Otto after Valora was pts

Then it was Ella and Shama who joined them next

After they all left it was Maline, Poppy and Isabella after Ella and Shama left us. Maline was on her last days as well and here Moggy is comforting Maline.

Sweet, sweet Moggy stopped trying to care for others as she aged and became frail with her HED but wanted me to care for her instead. She and Poppy were my overnight girls. Poppy would sleep in a cube on the bed and I would reach in and stroke her which she loved. Moggy would sleep at the top or side of my pillow. The last few days she has insisted on sleeping with her head resting on my hand, and trying to be as close to me as possible and I knew my bright-eyed beauty was not long for this world. Tonight, she lay on me, and tipped her head a few more times for cheek strokes, then lay on me until she passed quietly. My beautiful beautiful brave girl.
