Mog died????!!!!!!???

[S1ur]

I am so sorry to you all, for bringing this to your attention,

But I have had this brought to my attention and I cannot live a lie.

Mog the forgetful cat actually died (in 2003 )

I am shocked.

[DANCESwithLordPottingtonSmythe]

LOL! I was geniunely shocked when I saw the book and had to stop and read it in the middle of waterstones. Felt really sad afterwards (and still shocked!)

[moondog]

Don't rub it in.
Am already devastated.

What!!!!!!

[ledodgy]

Oh don't I have tried to forget.

Goodbye Mog

[VersdeSociete]

NEVER let a child see that book.

[S1ur]

Oh greyskull I am sorry for our loss

[IdrisTheDragon]

My children are fine with it - it's DH who can't cope.

[S1ur]

I didn't know such a foul abomination of a book existed until very recently.

I blame mumsnet, I could have lived in ignorance.

[Ebberley]

I have to hide that book everytime we go into the library and my children are 12yo and 9yo rufty-tufty, hard as nails boys.

I know that they would weep.

[Bowddee]

DS went to pick up the Goodbye Mog story in the library.

I had to distract him with a book about rabbits.

[moondog]

I am sandwiched between thread discussing Mog's demise and another showcasing Kewcumber's lillte boy.

I won't make it through the night.

[moondog]

Slur, I only found our tonight!!!

[HRHSaintMamazon]

what on earth are you all on about?

[S1ur]

me too moony, I have begun to introduce Mog (the series of books by Judith Kerr) to my dc and now, now I am at a loss. Perhaps if I read slowly they will be teenagers by te time I finsh and the loss will be less painful for them.

[emkana]

I read this to my dd's when they were 4 and 6 and they were okay, it's a good book to talk about death.

[be strong]

[callmeovercautious]

mog died? OMG

Are you sure it was 2003. I am sure I remember the books from the 80s. Or am I thinking meg and mog?

[TwoIfBySea]

I saw this in a shop a couple of years ago and felt bereft! Mog's Christmas got me through childhood, I still have it. I bought a collection of Mog stories for dts and that is one of them, it is a very well written story for anyone dealing with children having lost a beloved pet but still...not Mog!!!!

[elkiedee]

Many of the Mog books would have been around in the 80s, we had a couple for little brother/sister born in 1977 and 1980. Judith Kerr (author) must be in her 80s now as I believe the book When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit in which a 9 year old leaves Nazi Germany with her family in 1933 is based on her own experiences.

[bundle]

you just heard?

do keep up

[S1ur]

Yes I just heard. I appparently missed the 'we killed your cat' memo. I haven't read book some Flame mumsnetter bluntly dumped news on me.

[callmeovercautious]

sorry bundle - being in my 30s with only one DD of 2y I have not personally read these books for a while
