We found our 3 year old Siamese cross Milo’s body on our driveway yesterday. I’m absolutely heartbroken and have cried non-stop for the last 24 hours. How do you ever get over this? He was the most loving and playful boy, had him and his sister since they were 10 weeks old, as well as a black rescue cat. The three of them have grown up together and he adored his sister. My husband was quite quick in burying him, I now feel like I want to dig him up, put something of mine in with him as well as his favourite toy. Keep picturing him in a plastic bag in the ground. Our road isn’t a main road but it is a cut through and at certain times it gets busy. I didn’t let them out for 10 months and when they did finally go out they stayed in our largish back garden. They loved being outdoors and I didn’t feel I could deprive them of it their whole life. The last six months or so they’ve started venturing around the front which did worry me sometimes tho they didn’t seem to go near the road. But obviously they did. When we found him he wasn’t externally injured, but had blood coming from his nose and mouth. I don’t know when it happened, we’d spent the night away for our sons birthday, cat sitter had been in the morning and hadn’t seen him, tho she saw him sat Eve when she came. So I think it happened sat night or early Sunday morning. We went to look for him when we hadn’t seen him for a few hours on our return and my husband found his body on our driveway by the bins. I wish I knew what had happened and am now torturing myself. I’ve loved and lost cats before but to old age/kidney disease. Nothing as traumatic as this. I just keep bursting into tears.
