My boy has been killed

My gorgeous foofy boy Jasper was hit by a car this morning. I am very grateful to the dog walker who phoned me at 9:30 to tell me where he was, he was only a 10 second dash from our house. He must have been on his way home for his biscuits.

We are devastated.

So very very sorry. I lost my Ernie puddle exactly the same way, it hurts so much. I must admit I took in a little lost soul to give all that raw emotion something to focus on.

Don't underestimate the grief from losing him-he was part of your family. We have the ashes from our old girl in a wooden cat casket and DD loves to cuddle her every now and again (I do too).

My son specifically asked for pictures of the boy cat we lost after we lost him. It gave him comfort. Felt like he was still around. Be kind to yourself OP you’re grieving. Flowers

So I am still doing lots of crying and keep thinking I am going to see him only to be crushed every time it hits me he has gone. I hate that I have to go past the place he was left at every time I leave the house, I can even see the spot if I look out of my bedroom window but I know it will all get easier in time.

We went out and bought a pretty bright yellow flowering plant for his grave this morning and I have planted it out. I have also ordered 45 photos of him, moment of madness. No idea what I am going to do with them all when I could see them any time on iCloud.

Thank you all for your comforting words and helping me through this upsetting time.

I’m so sorry. 2.5 is no age at all. Just so you know, if you decide to get another cat, you can cat proof your garden so they can enjoy the outdoors safely.

my kids also went on about wishing we had kept him inside, but thats no life for most cats. You did the right thing. He had a proper cats life, as you say, lying in the sun, chasing stuff, climbing trees. It comes with risks, but its worth it. A shorter life doing lovely things is better than a long life in a cage xx

Sorry for your loss it's so hard losing a pet as they become part of the family. This is one of the reasons I'm put off getting a cat... RIP little guy 💔🐱

@Crazycat16 so sorry for your loss. what a gorgeous boy.
I think if he wanted to be outside basking in the sunshine then it would have been cruel to keep him in. he had a lovely, although far too short, life! Flowers
