My parents told me that that Mithril was PTS peacefully this evening. He was 15. He’d done well for a Scottish Fold. He was one of the daftest cats I’ve met. Completely soppy and loved to be cuddled like a baby, but also thought he was an Apex predator. (He really wasn’t) was really looking forward to some cuddles with him next week. will
miss him. I would say, that I hope Penelope finds him, but I do t think they’d have got on!

RIP Mithril.

It used to make me laugh, that my parents said Mithril knew when Penelope was staying in their spare room. He had absolutely no clue whatsoever! She knew about him as he was noisy, but he was utterly oblivious. 🤣

Aw I loved Mithril.

Please pass my condolences on to your parents.

Oh no Toddler, not Mithril too. My condolences

Oh no! I loved seeing his pictures and hearing you talk about him, I'm so sorry 💔

The last few times I visited him, I made sure I said a proper goodbye to him, just in case it was the last time. Seeing Mithril was the primary reason for visiting (sorry dad if you see this. 🤣🤣)

Oh no, so sorry.

damemaggiescurledupperlip · 10/10/2026 10:32

oh no! What a sad couple of weeks!

Puppylucky · 10/10/2026 10:42

Ah no! That's so sad - Mithril was the handsomest cat with such a sweet face. I had no idea he was a Scottish fold - he didn't have the ears?

Beautiful angel x

So sorry to see this, Mithril was a gorgeous boy and it was always a delight when he appeared on your threads.
What a sad time, with the recent loss of Pen too.
Sending best wishes to you and your parents 💐💐

Ah Mithril, I'm so sorry. He was so beautiful and I loved his name. Lots of sympathy to you all.

Apparently some of them don’t have the ears, but he had the other features and the collagen issues. But was fairly healthy with it. He did have quite bad arthritis in the last couple of years. But wasn’t that bothered it. He did very well to get to 14/15. He had a great life, being completely pandered to.

Only what he deserved! He had the most beautiful eyes I've seen on a cat 😻

He really was a very handsome beast. Very affectionate, loved cuddles. He was a real character, and very noisy!
