only adopted her in April. Very confident cat with a lot of personality. Saw her just at lunchtime, she came running in and jumped on the bed for strokes and cuddles. Thought it odd she didn't come for tuna when I made a sandwich an hour later. then an hour after that I had a call from a local vet that she'd been found a few roads away from where I live. .
DS is distraught. She was definitely his cat.

I'm so sorry 
We lost our kitten Orla in March at 10 months, she was hit by a car also, 12 year old dd found her, we had her cremated and bought a tree to put in the garden with her ashes. At the time I could not imagine getting another cat but we pick up our two new kittens in a couple of weeks.
I never thought I would be as upset as I was over a cat but they really do become part of the family

My heart sinks when I read these threads.
I feel sad sometimes when I let my little one out that it will be the last time I see her.
So sorry for you and your family

Feel so much more about this cat even than my last one who was seventeen when she died. Old cat was old, had had a good life, and although she died suddenly she'd had seventeen years.
This cat was only young, I adopted her because she was supposed to have a lovely life with me, she wasn't supposed to be killed on the road. . House seems empty without her even though we only had her for a short while.

I'm so sorry about your cat - Although she only had a short time with you, I imagine she was very loved and cared for

Thank you all. 
yes I will be forever grateful to the person who found her and took her to the vets at least so they could let me know.

Sorry to hear that OP
As others said, try to take comfort in the fact they took her to the vet so you didn't always have to wonder what happened

So sorry to hear your sad news - we've lost a cat exactly the same way but didn't find him for two days. We have gone on to have more cats as we missed them in our home

He seems ok now. He's taken my guitar upstairs and has blagged money from me to buy an app so he can learn to play.
He'll be ok, but it's obviously always horrible when these things happen. Have said now no more cats ever. .
