Meant to say, he was a very handsome lad indeed. What was his name?

why12345 · 13/09/2017 10:00

What a beautiful cat. I'm so sorry. 💔

Taxminion · 13/09/2017 10:02

So sorry, it must have been a terrible shock. He was a beauty.

Vinorosso74 · 13/09/2017 10:12

How awful, I'm so sorry to hear it Flowers

ElfrideSwancourt · 13/09/2017 10:28

Thank you everyone- he's called Tybalt and he had the loveliest nature; such a easygoing cat. Haven't told DDs yet as they're at school/work.
He wasn't a wanderer he just liked being at home, sleeping and eating. No idea why he went on the road this morning. I'm guilt-tripping myself that if I hadn't let him out while it was still dark he would still be here, but I did that every morning Sad

So sorry. This happened to me a few years back and I still miss my boy Flowers

TheSpottedZebra · 13/09/2017 11:40

Really sorry for your loss. I had to have my beautiful (cat) friend put to sleep yesterday and it's just awful, isn't it?

PerfumeIsAMessage · 13/09/2017 11:40

So sorry. What a lovely boy. I think the same happened to ours in June but we never found him. I beat myself up too because I let him out early as he was wahwahing. You mustn't blame yourself. Cats are meant to go out. Flowers

PerfumeIsAMessage · 13/09/2017 11:44

Zebra hugs to you too.

Ts27 · 13/09/2017 11:47

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you're going through. I have a cat I adore and she loves being out. Cats are meant to go out so not your fault at all. Sounds like he had a great life with a loving family. Flowers

paddypants13 · 13/09/2017 11:59

Flowers I'm sorry for your loss op, please be gentle on yourself. x

GreenPolishToGo · 13/09/2017 12:08

I'm so sorry. What a beautiful cat. Don't blame yourself. Cats get so much pleasure from pottering about outside and exploring. I'm sure Tybalt did too.

Rufus27 · 13/09/2017 12:11

I'm so, so sorry OP. Please dont blame yourself. As Green says, cats love being out exploring in the dark. Ours hate being in at night so much, we've started letting them out. Please be gentle on yourself x

ElfrideSwancourt · 13/09/2017 14:24

Thanks again- he did have a very happy, albeit short, life and would have hated being kept in.
Zebra - really sorry to hear about your cat - it's such a hard decision to make, but I think it's important to remember you are putting your cat first and not letting them suffer Flowers

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, he was a very handsome chap. And I know it is an odd thing to say but at least you know what has happened to him, I know when my now late Girl went missing for a week my mind went into overdrive imagining what terrible things could have happened to her. It is going to be awful telling your children, but there is a little comfort to be had in having a definite closure rather than uncertainty .

missminningham · 13/09/2017 14:57

Flowers I am sorry, we had this too a couple of months ago xx

MrsPottsTeaCosy · 13/09/2017 15:02

I'm so sorry, it is heartbreaking Sad

DavetheCat2001 · 13/09/2017 15:30

Oh I am so sorry, what a horrible thing to happen Sad

It takes time to grieve and move on, so take your time OP.

What a beautiful cat xx

bobdylannumber1 · 13/09/2017 22:13

Very sorry about your cat this happened to my cat a few months ago I'd only had him for about 3 months I had to get him Pts I'm terrified of this happening to his sister I really would love to keep her in but she loves going out. 💐

timtam23 · 13/09/2017 22:56

Beautiful Tybalt! I am so sorry to read this. Flowers for you
