NORTH CONWAY, N.H. (AP) - A cat who patrolled the U.S. Northeast’s highest peak for a dozen years as its weather observatory’s mascot has died.

Mount Washington Summit Operations Manager Rebecca Scholand said Monday that Marty succumbed to “an unforeseen illness.”

She said the black Maine coon cat was a special companion and entertainer.

The sun has set on Marty's time here at the Observatory. It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Marty the Cat. There just aren't enough words #mwobs #martythecat #martykitty #love #companion #mwsp #memberofthestaff #seniority #lastsunset #nh #caturday pic.twitter.com/YlCcUlQ8k4

The Mount Washington Observatory staff have had a cat at the 6,288-foot summit since 1932.

The observatory had recently shared the news that Marty would retire from the mountain early next year.

Marty was a shelter cat who won the Mount Washington Mascot Primary in 2008.

The observatory plans to continue the cat tradition.
