Gunther (companion)


 * You may be looking for Gunther, the cat

Gunther was the name of a former companion of a prior incarnation the Doctor. He is described as "short and cute, in that way men only very occasionally pull off."

Death and Impact
He died in the Doctor's arms, leaving her to wonder how many times she could endure the death of a companion. He then fades from history and the Doctor's memory, and it is strongly implied through a diary entry that the Doctor herself erased him from history.
