Nin, a dreamy-eyed black and white cat who patrolled the Northeast's highest peak as the Mount Washington Observatory's mascot for a dozen years and was the subject of a children's book, has died. Observatory executive director Scot Henley says Nin died on July 14. He had retired in 2007 as top cat and was estimated to be about 19 or 20 years old.
A rescued stray from Vermont, Nin was popular. In a Web site posting, Henley wrote summit visitors "undoubtedly scratched their heads with bewilderment when they noticed a rotund white cat patrolling the top of the tallest mountain in New England."

After reading the article, I find I like this cat much more than the President.

NIN had replaced Inga on the "Rock Pile" ... he will be missed.

Nin RIP.

He looks like my Spunky that died in April. Have fun you two at the Rainbow Bridge...

From the headline I thought it was about a mountain lion. Poor, Kitty.
