Monty (1998-2016)

Our first photo together in December 1998, before The Film Experience existed. I lost my furbaby today (apologies that scheduled blog events are delayed). You knew him as a highly elusive cat pundit (he was most active in the prediction game from 2010-2012) but he was never easy to pin down on movies and Oscars.

Some of his classic posts:
Bridesmaids
127 Hours, Conviction, and Never Let Me Go
Hitchcock 
Olaf from Frozen 
Jennifer Aniston in Cake 

He did love a few movies unreservedly including Microcosmos (1996), Dancer in the Dark (2000), and Paddington (2014) but mostly he ignored them, preferring to imagine he was my only love. I already miss him terribly.

I'm sorry about your loss, Nathaniel. It's hard to lose a pet.

My condolences Nathaniel. It's never an easy thing to lose a pet, especially one who's a (reluctant) movie lover.

Deep sympathy. Monty will be missed.

I'm so sorry Nat.
He's now in cat heaven with Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman though :)

So sorry to hear this!! :( I'm sure that, much like the other Monty (Cliff), he'll be remembered fondly by everyone in this site.

Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss, Nat! 8( *hugs*
Monty was a cat and a great Oscar pundit. His reaction to Cake is legendary and will never be forgotten.
He had a wonderful life. RIP Monty

Awww, I'm so sorry for your loss, Nat. I've lost two dogs in my life and it hurt terribly both times. My condolences.

Feeling for you Nathaniel. What a life you gave him though.

A Russian Blue? They love to be on shoulders, so I'm guessing so. I had one and she was a shoulder-dwelling sweetheart, terribly sad when she passed. Sorry for your loss.
