Martha Stewart isn't just an enthusiast of beautiful plants and gourmet food -- she's also a devoted pet lover, and today, she's grieving. Her lynx Himalayan cat, Mozart, passed away at the age of 19. And sure, that's a long life for a cat, but we all know that doesn't really make it any easier to say good-bye.

Martha wrote about her beloved pet's passing on her blog, mentioning that she initially had a long wait for the remarkably beautiful kitten, which was bred in Connecticut. She said that her friends and guests often made a game of trying to spot the elusive, mysterious feline, adding, "I will certainly miss him and so will my other cats and dogs." A slideshow tribute to the cat can be viewed on the blog -- we definitely recommend checking it out.

Additionally, the domestic maven tweeted about Mozart:

"mozart the cat just died- he was nineteen and did indeed have a beautiful life. we just buried him next to pawpaw-he was a lynx himalayan."

This is the second time this year Martha has mourned the loss of a pet. In March, her chow, Ghengis Khan, was killed in a freak explosion at a kennel. Ghengis Khan was the grandson of Paw Paw, another chow of Martha's who died at the age of 12 the previous April.
