Our amazing cat has been knocked over and killed

[BabeRuthless]

Trying to pull myself together to get ds ready for bed but can't stop crying. We've only had him 4 months but he was such a laid back affectionate cat and perfect for our family. Ds is 5 and has autism, he calls the cat his "mate". No idea how I'm going to tell him.

I am so so sorry. xx

I'm so sorry xxx

so sorry to hear that

So sorry

I remember when one of our cats was run over and killed. I was in bits for days

Oh BR, I am so sorry to hear that. Bloody cars. I hate them sometimes.

So sorry

Thank you all so much. I can't believe I'm not going to see him again. It's just not fair.

Oh Babe I am so sorry. I wish we could teach cats the Green Cross Code.

Oh how sad

I'm so sorry.

Oh bless you, such dreadful news xx

I'm so sorry xx

Poor you. Sending a hug

So sorry to read this. I have enjoyed having cats for over 40 years and appreciate the joy they bring to a household. Each one becomes a member of the family and to lose one, especially at such a young age, is a tragedy.

Hugs to you and your DS.

It will be the last thing on your mind at the moment, but I hope eventually you will consider giving a home to another cat - there is another one out there somewhere just waiting for you.

So sorry. We lost our beloved car in march, traffic accident too. Still breaks my heart. Thinking of you x

Cat not car... Stupid phone :(

I'm so sorry :(

I'm so sorry :(

Losing a cat in this way is just horrible. I'm not ashamed to say when our 18 month old ginger tom was killed by a car I cried so much I remember my eyes just stung. Both my parents are dead, and I have had 5 miscarriages, but I don't remember crying in quite the same way as when Stan died. :(

So so sorry and much love to you and your family I lost my precious boy in may in the same way and the sorrow seems unbearable thinking of you x

I am so sorry :'( It is always painful losing a lovely mog.

I lost my girl last month after she had a massive stroke - I had only had her ten months. I cried solidly for a day :(

A couple of weeks later I went to local cats protection and now have a crazy fifteen week old girl lighting up my home.

Hope you feel able to take on another soon for you and DS.

Hug x

I was the one who really pushed to get a cat. Ds totally fell in love with him & I feel awful. Thanks again for all your kind words, I'll check in again in the morning.

Have to say, I cried a lot too, still do sometimes. He was my baby, miss him madly. Hope your dc copes ok.
