Doorkins Magnificat, a once homeless cat who has been a mascot of London's Southwark Cathedral for 11 years, has retired. /VCG Photo

The cat has left the cathedral to stay with one of the cathedral staff due to deteriorating health. Her failing eyesight causes her to bump into things, according to the cat's official twitter account. /VCG Photo

Doorkins, who is believed to be about 14 years old, made her home at the cathedral after making a few visits for food in 2008. /VCG Photo

She made headlines in 2013 for entertaining Queen Elizabeth on her visit to the cathedral and there have been books, poems and paintings created about her. /VCG Photo
