Our lovely cat is gone...hit by a car. The driver didn’t stop, but a lovely lady did, and wrapped her in a towel and knocked at our door. It looked pretty instant from the damage to her head. Sad
We’d only rescued her 3 months ago so I feel terrible. Like we really let her down.
She was so very loved though and part of our family. My children are devastated and we can’t stop crying. I totally loved her.
I know we’ll get through this but it’s just so unfair.
Hug those kitties extra tight tonight.

Oh so sorry that this happened
Please try and comfort yourself with the fact she was rescued and given a lovely happy home before this happened

The crying and grief is normal. A sign of love

Sending you a hug Flowers

So sorry for your loss ❤️

It's lovely you was able to give her a safe and loving home though

Big hugsThanks

I’m so sorry for your loss, how utterly heartbreaking. You have not let your kitty down at all, you rescued her, you gave her a home and you gave her your love. Just the biggest hug from me to you tonight Flowers

I’m sorry, none of us see it coming. You didn’t do anything any other cat owner hasn’t done.

It is very unfair on you all.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/05/2021 01:15

I'm so sorryFlowers. It's no consolation but Is there a chance the driver wasn't aware he'd hit her.

Pidgythe2nd · 11/05/2021 04:25

Thanks for your messages.
I’m just heartbroken. She was already a massive part of the family... would follow me everywhere and loved my daughter. I don’t know how I’ll sit down in an evening without her there. 😢

I'm sorry for your loss, she was beautiful.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this, it's such an awful shock. She looks like a little sweetheart. Sending huge hugs and Brew

TroysMammy · 11/05/2021 08:27

I'm so sorry. Was it the lady on MN who has posted she's in bits about a cat that was knocked over and she took the cat to the vet? Flowers

Pidgythe2nd · 11/05/2021 13:49

@TroysMammy no I don’t think so.
A kind lady knocked on our door as it was outside our house. We knew pretty quickly, and she was already gone.
It’s hit me so hard.
I can see the fucking speeding bastard on our cctv. She just ran out, trying to get home.
5 seconds either way and she’d be here with me.
She was a beautiful cat but most importantly sweet natured and gentle, and very playful. Even loved her play bites and mucky footprints in the bathroom.

Sending love... absolutely heartbreaking.
I'm a cat person with Siamese cats.
I lost my first Siamese in this way and 30 years later I still miss her.
My cats are my life, I am so sad for you.

Your girl was an absolute beauty and please remember how loved she was with you..
😥💐💕

Pidgythe2nd · 11/05/2021 21:22

Thank you.
She was so loved.
