My boy has gone and I’m heartbroken.

[bagheera92]

Hello everyone ,
My lovely cat has been missing since the 29th. He's called Bagheera (after the jungle book) he's 1.5 years old.
He normally only sits on our shed for a hour then comes in and is happy with that . But that night I knew something was wrong . He always sits on the sink while the kids have their bath.
He always comes up to bed with me then gets back up when my DP comes in from work .

I had friends and family plaster him all over social media incase he was in someone's house . I put up
Flyers around our neighborhood . In shops . Registered him lost with our microchip company.
This morning we had a call from a corner shop saying someone had put a black cat in their bin could it be ours ?
My dp went and got him . He said it wasn't him but still took him to our local vet to be scanned for a chip. Unfortunately it was our Bagheera .

I am heartbroken beyond words. My little girl is asking why he's out all the time now ?
Why's Bagheera not coming in it's raining ?
I feel like I've lost a arm . Dramatic to some people I know. But I just can't stop crying at someone just chucking him in a bin like he was nothing . Why not to a vet ? My poor boy
We got Bagheera to help my Loneliness whilst my dp works long hours as I have no family local bar him and the kids .
He was the last jigsaw piece to our family .

Whilst the kids are having dinner I'm looking at having him cremated and to bring him back home where he belongs.

This is him. I miss him so
Much already . And my poor dp having to see him like that

Oh I'm so sorry. How absolutely devastating for you. What a beautiful boy.

So sorry and how awful he was dumped in a bin. As an animal lover, I can't get my head around why anyone would think that's ok.
I do think you need to be honest with your children and maybe do something when you get his ashes back.
RIP beautiful Bagheera

Oh OP I'm so, so sorry. Your gorgeous Bagheera is the very image of my DCat, who almost got christened the very same name.

My heart hurts for you and your DC, and DP of course having to see him. Lots of virtual hugs to you all

I’m so very sorry 😢 gorgeous boy 🐈‍⬛

You should be honest with your kids, it's a good opportunity about to teach them about death.

I am so sorry your boy is gone and what a beautiful boy he was!

Take time to grieve and also hold on to the memories you have

I’m so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Bagheera

Thankyou everyone , my kids are 4 & 2. So they have gone to bed now .
I do need to talk to DP tonight when he is in from work to see how we broach the subject with our little girl who is the oldest .
It's very quiet and lonely without Bagheera here tonight . But it's something I will have to get used to

I am so sorry, that is so sad. And I’m so sorry that someone was so heartless and put him in the bin.

Losing a pet is so hard. They become part of the family for sure

I’m so sorry for your loss

There is a litter tray memorial thread ,where some of us have posted pictures and a bit about our beloved pets, if you would also like to add something about Bagheera there too.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
We lost our 3 year old male Binx when my youngest daughter was 4 and although we now have another she still has never forgotten and still mentions her "Binxy boy".
I'm not going to lie they absolutely broke their hearts as did I but you do look back fondly to the lovely memories.

She's now 9

Can I ask how did you explain the loss to your 4 year old ?

What a gorgeous cat. So sorry he's gone. Xxx

Thankyou so much I will head over there now

I am so sorry for you and your poor DP. It's such a cruel way to lose him. He looks so beautiful and he sounds like such a lovely cat.

I'd tell your DD he died but stress that he's not in pain and nothing can hurt him. She will be very sad, but it's better than watching, waiting and hoping futilely for him to come home.

So sorry op. He was so beautiful. They leave their paw prints in our hearts.

So sorry. He was beautiful!

Oh no, I'm so sorry this happened.
The world is incredibly cruel sometimes. Heart breaking.
I hope in time the pain will get less.

Oh @bagheera92 what a beautiful boy. I am so sorry for your loss, it’s such a horrible gut punching shock when you lose them so suddenly. Black cats are very special and he had a wonderful life with you. Happy mousing over rainbow bridge sweet Bagheera 🌈

Such a handsome cat
Very sorry that you have lost him so young
🌈🌟❤️

It's horrible, they completely steal your hearts x

💔 What a beautiful boy, so sorry for your loss. I still miss my last cat despite it being a long time since she left us and now having a new one. They're never forgotten

I can't imagine how devastating this must be for you. At least you found him and won't be wondering but it's so sad. They are all little characters and part of the family so of course you feel so devastated.

@bagheera92 I don't know if I did it the right way but I just told what I hoped was the truth,that there had been an accident and he had been hit by a car and died instantly,that he had felt no pain.
I don't know if you can call it lucky but he was found in the road and the people who found him came knocking doors asking who owned a cat.
I can't believe how someone could have dumped your gorgeous boy so callously x
