I dont care if this is outing, I want to share this with all you other cat lovers. Our beautiful rescue cat Beau was knocked down and killed last night.
He was had just turned 1 when we got him in February and after a timid start was the funniest, most loving cat ever. He loved to chase leaves and feathers, loved tummy rubs and listening to the children's bedtime stories. He slept on my & DH's feet most nights and was my support through an awful patch of mh illness.
He had fur so soft that it was more like a rabbits. We loved him so much. We are all devastated.

OP, so sorry to hear this. Try and hang on to the fact during the life he had he was a much loved cat, well locked after and you gave him the chance to enjoy the great outdoors - he would have had many lovely times out enjoying new things and the sun, so had a fulfilled life.

IhatetheArchers · 24/09/2018 10:33

Oh OP Flowers so sorry for the loss of your gorgeous boy.

Hope you can find comfort in knowing what an amazing life you gave him-it seems so unfair sometimes :(

So sorry. Just heartbreaking Flowers

Honeyroar · 24/09/2018 11:48

Aw that's so sad.

But I agree with Ifonly4, focus on the fact that he was happy with you, clearly adored and had a good life.

Toddlerteaplease · 24/09/2018 12:13

So very sorry. All he will have known is a life of love and happiness.
