Poor cat knocked over today

[Kingcole]

Sad my handsome, loving and playful cat has been knocked over today. My lovely neighbours found him and were all so kind and helpful.

I am concerned for the children, who will be very upset when/ if I tell them. Our previous cat got knocked over last summer. She was skittish and jumped in front of a car.

We live on a quiet road but I think because the traffic has decreased he had made his way onto the busier road so when a car did go past it was much faster and didn't see him.

Just feel it's too much with lockdown to add this to the DC's sadness. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Have him in a box in the garage at the moment as cannot bury him yet.

Aaw so sorry for your loss. Its very difficult to tell children. My ds always brings up deceased pets that passed years ago
I hope your lovely cat gets a nice peaceful resting place

I’m so sorry to hear this. How old are your DC?

Mine would be devastated by something like this but I still believe that honesty’s the only way. Sometimes reality is just really awful.

I wish I could change it for you

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss

I’m so sorry, it happened to me too. All you can do is be honest with the children.

I would cat proof the garden if you get another one in the future, quiet roads can be worse than busy ones because the cat isn’t used to traffic.

Thank you. He was 2 years old. My DC are 7, 11 and 14 years old.

Ah he was lovely op. 2 years old is no age. 💔

Decided to tell them later - sad times.

Really sorry for your loss ☹️ such beautiful markings. Unfortunately as the roads are quieter cars on the road are moving a lot faster than usual! Hope it goes ok telling the kids 🤞🏻

That's very sad. Sorry for your family's loss. It's hard

Really sorry to hear such sad news - a beautiful life cut so tragically short. People are driving like idiots now that the roads are quieter.
May your lovely cat rest in peace. X

Thank you
