My beautiful boy is gone

[KayDog]

He was run over, I feel such guilt. He would cry to go out the front door and he usually just stayed on the windowsill or our pathway but something must have caught his eye. People speed down our road even though it's 20 and has speed bumps.

A very kind man found him, wrapped him up and took him the the local vet.

The house feels so quiet without him, he was a yowler.

I had always hoped I'd be with him at the end and that should have been years ahead. Feel so lost.

He was a streetcat from Singapore, and such a personality, he was huge but so gentle and sweet. Slept at the foot of the bed or cuddled close on my pillow.

Devastated

So sorry, it really is heartbreaking.

I’m so sorry - he was a beautiful boy.

Oh I am so sorry for your loss, what an absolute beaut of a cat.

Over a period of a few years I have lost 3 of my 4 cats to the road (2 were brothers, only 18 months old and they were killed 4 months apart), they are all now snuggled together resting in my garden. It’s devastating.

💐

Thank you all, it sounds so dramatic but it feels like I'll never get over it, I cannot shake it, crying a lot, thinking I hear him or see him (bags or clothes on the floor!)
I never thought I'd feel so bad, but he was such a personality it has left a huge hole.

So sorry for your losses, lovely that they are snuggled together x

It's the most horrific pain OP and I'm dreading losing both my dog and my cat. I've been through it before and it does get easier with time. It's the price you have to pay for the love you shared, he would have been grateful for every day with you.

I am so very very sorry for your loss. He looked and sounded so very special

Thank you, I think it's the shock of the circumstances of his exit too.

Feel so lost

So very sorry @KayDog , what a sad end for your beautiful boy.
I drive and always go under the speed limit in built up areas especially if cars are parked both sides of the road, and look out for cats and kids. Late at night I can hear cars haring down my road obviously beyond the speed limit and my heart is in my mouth, they couldn't possibly stop in time for anything. Idiots cause such heartbreak 💐

so sorry such a beautiful boy

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢

I’m so sorry for your loss. What a dreadful shock. At least someone found him and could take him to the vet.

I’m so sorry OP, what a lovely handsome boy he was. It probably sounds silly but i had my cat’s ashes put in a cushion which has a giant photo of said cat on it. So that he’s still here with me on the sofa. And i can still sort-of give him a hug although i sometimes burst into tears

So sorry to read this ☹️

Our lovely girl (black cat too 🐈‍⬛) was killed the same way, it is such a shock for you.

Lost my big old siamese the same way a few weeks ago. My sympathies it's just awful x

I'm so sorry, how are you feeling now?

I thought about getting some jewellery made but this is also wonderful as I will miss his cuddles so much, he was lovely to cuddle, so solid but soft at the same time. Thank you for this idea, love the thought of it

I wish everyone was a sensible as you, there's just no need for driving so fast, the nurse said she thought he would have been killed on impact so while I'm glad it was quick, it's clear the person driving was going way too fast!

@KayDog . Not great. I let my other cat out tonight and he's vanished now.

Oh no, I'm keeping everything crossed, I'm sure he'll turn up x

@KayDog thanks. I feel numb

Keep us updated, I'm sure he will come back

So sorry for your loss. I really feel you. This happened me too. Rescue black cat.

You showed him a lot of love. He passed being loved, wanted cared for and missed. I hope you take comfort in the joy you shared.

These are Lovely words thank you, and he really did have the best life after being a streetcat, no way he would have survived as long as he did with us.

I am shocked by how upset I feel, never thought it would be as bad as this, it's so quiet now in the house and usually he'd be next to me purring. I will miss him so much.

What a handsome boy. I'm so sorry for your loss. You gave him his best life, please try to remember that.
