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.

@Jayneisagirlsname
Sorry to read about your lovely cat and his passing away, but looking at the pictures you posted, so content and happy in his time here, he was lucky to have you too.

@HamsterToast
Sorry to hear about your loss too.

What a beautiful boy. So very sorry for you all. It's awful to lose a beloved pet. They are part of the family.

Oh op I'm so sorry. ThanksThanks

'HamsterToast' here's a handhold if you need it. It's so cruel and unfair. What was your lovely cat's name?

Tilly. She was a lovely little fairy cat. We've lived where we do for years so it is so strange for this to happen now. It's very quiet and we are on a cul de sac.

I'm so sorry for your loss what s gorgeous boy. I'm just going thru the trauma of my 19 1/2 year old girl being pts, different circumstances same outcome. I wish I could wave a magic wand for you to take away the pain. I am going thru exactly the same 💔💔💔

Shoegal0305 · 25/09/2018 13:19

Ps, I've just volunteered to do some cat cuddling at a local animal shelter. I'm sure it will help as I have a lot of cat love to give haha. Is that something you could face? X

Hand hold and Thanks for you - biggest fear with my beloved boy Sad

Oh, OP and Hamster. I've had a little cry. You poor,poor things. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your lovely furrbabes.

Beau clearly had a wonderful life with you. He was taken too soon. He was so lucky to have you as his owner. RIP little one.

Sorry to hear that. I have 2 rescue cats. They really become part of the family. 😢

YesSheCan · 25/09/2018 14:11

Oh, how awful. I'm so sorry. The same happened to our darling rescue cat too. It is devastating. Let yourselves grieve for him and you will eventually be able to enjoy the happy memories of him Flowers

@HamsterToast so lovely.

They break your hearts when they go, don't they?

Shoegal0305 · 25/09/2018 17:07

They totally break your heart 💔 to the extent I don't know yet if I could go through it again 😞😞😞

meala · 25/09/2018 17:17

So sorry for your loss. Poor little Beau. What a handsome boy with lovely eyes.
My little cat was knocked down and killed in May. It is heartbreaking. They are such a part of the family Flowers

How awful for you to lose your beautiful boy. Flowers

fenneltea · 25/09/2018 17:25

So sorry to hear of the loss of our wonderful feline friends; it's the day I dread with any of mine. The loss you feel is the legacy of the love you have for them. I hope in time that the void can be filled a little with a new rescue, there are so many in desperate need. Flowers

So sorry Jayne. I feel your pain, my cat has been missing for nearly two weeks and I fear the worst. I know I won’t see her again. It’s one of the most painful experiences. Sending you love 💕

Pilates. Sorry to hear your cat's missing 😢
