My cat died today

My lovely cat died today. I was returning home and she darted out right in front of me as I got near to home and went under my tyre i couldnt stop in time as she literally ran out from under a bush into my wheel. She was killed almost instantly. I held her and hugged her and told her how much I loved her and she died in my arms on the driveway.
I am absolutely devastated I just can't believe it's happened and just keep crying my eyes out. I feel awful. I don't even know why I'm posting I feel like the most awful pet owner in the world.

I'm very, very sorry. How absolutely awful for you.

MammaWeasel · 28/11/2022 22:50

I am so sorry, what an awful accident.xxx

Magpiesalute · 28/11/2022 22:51

This happened to me too. It’s truly awful, but it was a dreadful accident. Have a good cry but try not to blame yourself. Sending a hug.

Annoyingnamechangerperson · 28/11/2022 22:51

I feel like I have no right to feel sad about her because it was me that hit her I just feel so ashamed and guilty.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your girl. It was a terrible accident Flowers

Shamoo · 28/11/2022 22:58

Oh gosh OP, how awful for you. Sending you lots of love x

DramaAlpaca · 28/11/2022 22:59

Oh, OP, I'm so sorry. I did the same thing to my dog years ago, just a total accident but I felt awful afterwards. There's nothing you could've done so please don't beat yourself up, and it sounds like it was mercifully quick.

DowntonCrabby · 28/11/2022 22:59

Oh that’s devastating, I’m so sorry. I hope you can take some comfort in being with her and telling her you loved her at the end. Flowers

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 28/11/2022 23:00

It's the worst nightmare as a pet owner. So sorry. Be kind to yourself 💐

MyTing · 28/11/2022 23:01

I am so sorry for you loss, can't even imagine how shocked and devastated you must be feeling. Look after yourself for a few days 🐾

LBFseBrom · 28/11/2022 23:04

Sending you (((hugs))), Annoyingnamechanged, I am so very sorry. It was an accident, not your fault. Look after yourself. x

rosyvalentine · 29/11/2022 00:29

So sorry for your loss. Such a terrible accident. Try not to feel guilty and think about the happy life that you gave her instead Flowers

caringcarer · 29/11/2022 00:37

A tragic accident. Take time to grieve your lovely cat. Forgive yourself because it was an accident.

Pivot22 · 29/11/2022 00:42

I’m so sorry my lovely. Please don’t beat yourself up about this as it was just a horrid accident, I’ve hit one of our cats before (we’d just got an electric car and he couldn’t hear it as I reversed). Condolences for your loss and be kind to yourself over the next few days.

Seeingadistance · 29/11/2022 00:51

Oh, OP, I am so sorry. It wasn't your fault. It must be so hard, but please try to be kind to yourself.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/11/2022 07:27

I’m so sorry, it was a freak accident. It’s not your fault at all. It’s so awful losing them suddenly.

Clarich007 · 29/11/2022 09:44

I feel so sorry for you, and can't imagine how you are feeling. It was a terrible accident, unavoidable. Be kind to yourself.. It happened to a friend of mine too she felt the same as you.
It's not your fault at all 💐

Thisonetoday · 29/11/2022 11:29

Sorry for your loss 💔please don’t blame yourself, it was an accident. Remember the lovely times that you had with your cat. I’m sure she knew how much you loved her and she had a very happy life with you. Take each day as it comes

Iamacatslave · 29/11/2022 12:10

You are not the most awful pet owner in the world! What happened was a tragic accident. I am sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself. 💐

PushkaMcgee · 29/11/2022 14:18

I am so sorry about your lovely cat, no wonder you are devastated, it was a tragic accident though, please dont blame yourself.

My friend recently ran over her dog, she suddenly darted behind the car as she was reversing, it is such an easy thing to do. You were with your beloved cat at the end, please don't feel ashamed or guilty, your cat knew how much you loved her.

Sending hugs to you at this sad time

Annoyingnamechangerperson · 29/11/2022 14:40

Thank you for your kind words I don't feel like I deserve them to be honest. I have just dropped her off at the pet cemetery locally so I will be able to visit her there in a few days time. My poor girl I just can't believe she's not here anymore.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 29/11/2022 14:49

I'm thinking about you today. So sorry :(

IToldYouAmillionTimesAlready · 29/11/2022 15:14

How absolutely terrible for you. I'm so sorry. My old boy died a few weeks ago when a car hit him. It was instant, which was a blessing. x
