Thanks to Amos Quito for passing this along…
Last summer, Joey and I had traveled to Cape Cod for our summer vacation. While there, we visited the Edward Gorey House and met a lovely tubby tabby named Ombledroom. He was the resident kitty at the house…appropriate because Gorey was quite the cat lover (and rare example of the male species of the Crazy Cat Lady-type).
We are sadden to hear of Ombledroom’s passing…
Gorey museum’s beloved feline mourned
Cape Cod Times, July 26, 2012
According to The Cape Cod Times, he will be buried under the magnolia tree (probably next to the Gashlycrumb Tinies).
Bye, bye Ombledroom. Such a sweet kitty…

- The Gashlycrumb Tinies lie here

- “The Ombledroom is vast and white, and therefore visible by night.”

- Cranky pets the kitty!

- Bye, bye Ombledroom
Oh good, I was hoping you’d post your photos! Thanks! Vast and white indeed!
