Meowingtons, the Deadmau5’s cat is passed away

If you are a Deadmau5’s fan you may know his best friend Meowingtons. For those one who don’t him, he is a cat.

The artist has announced he’s saying goodbye to the 16-year-old feline, due to “some cat medical bulls–t.” In a statement posted to Instagram Monday (Aug. 7), deadmau5 shared that “yeah meowingtons is just a cat, but I’ll just say to me, he’s one of my best friends.”

Jeol adopted Meowingtons from the Toronto Humane Society in 2009. The same legendary cat that Joel made a meme with his audience, dedicating songs to him and urging them to vote for him in DJ Mag. In 2011, the Canadian artist launched the Meowingtons Hax Tour, naming the compilation LP made for this tour the Meowingtons Hax Tour Trax. Meowingtons’ image also graced the cover of the 2012 deadmau5 classic >album title goes here<.

So, Rest In Peace dear Meowingtons.
