Struggling tonight after our cat was killed by a speeding driver

[thesadcatlady]

My cat was run over today by a woman driving too fast in a 20mph zone. He was so beautiful and so loved and I am just brokenhearted. My little boy is inconsolable and our gorgeous furry boy left behind his little brother who will miss him terribly. I don't really know why I'm posting... I was able to hold it together for my son but now he's in bed I just can't stop crying.

I’m so sorry OP, what a terrible shock. A pet getting killed is really traumatic. I had a lovely cat run over years ago and it was very distressing to lose him in such a brutal way.

Sorry to hear that, it happened to us last year, had her 11 Years, it’s devastating.

I am so sorry 😓😓😓😓😓

You must be so sad

It's called Goodbye Mog.

So sorry, @thesadcatlady your grief is palpable, it is so obvious you love him. What a terrible, sad day. Sending hugs and a handhold. Please share anything about him that you want to, we would love to see him in his prime if you want to share a picture. 💐💐💐

Thank you all so much for your kindness, it has helped more than you know. Most people around here love dogs but struggle to understand the absolute love for a cat.
I've managed a few hours sleep cuddling my other little cat, but up early to try and pull myself together before my DS wakes up. Here is my beautiful beautiful boy, he was just glorious. Looking at his little face has set me off again, but he was just so brilliant. 💔

I'm so sorry, what a beautiful kitty he was. 🌺

What a sweetheart he looks!

What a handsome boy, and what a lovely expression, I reckon he loved you back too💐

What a handsome cat - I am so sorry for your loss, @thesadcatlady. They wind their paws round our hearts, don’t they.

I am sending you, your son and your lovely cat’s brother a massive hug.

What a beautiful boy. I’m so so sorry for your loss. He was clearly so loved. I’m so sorry 😔

So dreadfully sorry for your loss 💔😞 I fully sympathise with you and your family. It’s devastating. He truly was a beautiful little cat. Heartbreaking. It’s so nice to know how much he was loved and how he loved you too. {{{handhold}}}

I’m so sorry to hear this - it’s devastating when we lose a much loved pet
My comfort is in knowing we gave them a fabulous life and loving home and the freedom to cat about even though it brings risks
I hope in time it will feel less raw and you will welcome another Dcat into your life
