I always watch Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet on Friday night. I've watched it for over a year now. Tonight the Whiskers family leader Flower was killed trying to save her pups from a cobra. I can't believe I cried so hard over this. I don't know if I'm going to be able to watch it anymore.

I am so attached to the Whiskers and their rivals. The thought of another Meerkat taking over as leader disturbs me so much. I wish they would have had a disclaimer on saying Flower had passed on, but it came as such a shock right at the end of the show. My heart is still aching over this.
