Mushroom, a long-haired male black cat, is shown in a 2022 photo taken shortly before her death, owner Diana Fogle said.
“It’s from December 2022,” she said. “She was 2 and died soon after. He accidentally got out at night and got hit by a car.”
She said she fondly remembers Mushroom.
“He was so sweet and tender,” Fogle said. “He was just a love bug. He’d sit with you in your lap. He was well-behaved.
“We have other cats and a dog. He got along with all of them.”
Mushroom could be playful.
“Me and my husband would run around the house with shoestrings,” Fogle said. “It was a competition for the animals to chase the string. It was his favorite game.”
She loved Mushroom.
“He is missed dearly,” she said. “There will never be another cat like him.”
