My baby girl has died

I am absolutely devastated, I found this girl in a bin and raised her from 3 weeks old. She was such an affectionate cat, slept on my sons bed every night but was a formidable hunter! She only had 2 years and 1 month in this world, we needed her for so much longer. I found her on the side of the road tonight in the dark, cold and alone. I was so dramatic when then the vet confirmed it was her. She could never have been a house cat as she loved the outside, but why be a twat of a cat when she could have gone hunting in the field behind our house and never need to cross a road! BABY GIRL TOM, I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH ♥️ I will miss your cwtches, your happy dribbles and everything about you. You were the best addition to our family and made our family complete xx

I’m so sorry for your loss OP she looks such a little character and a curse on who left her in a bin 🌺

She was so sweet. So sorry. Thats awful. Hopefully you can take some comfort in that if you hadn't rescued her though she wouldn't even have had 2 years being loved 💐

So sorry, she looks like a beautiful girl and it isn't fair that she's gone so soon.
I'm sure you made her time with you very pouncy, purry and happy 💐

I am so sorry. They leave such deep paw prints on our hearts. And it's so hard to lose them. Thinking of you.

DuckFilledPlatitude · 05/11/2026 12:25

I'm so sorry. It sounds as though you gave her a lovely life.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your gorgeous kitty. Losing a loved pet is heartbreaking, especially one so young. Sending you love

Breadcat24 · 05/11/2026 13:12

so sorry - she was lovely

OMGhowisitnearlychristmasagain · 05/11/2026 13:14

I'm so sorry OP, we lost a cat at a similar age a few years back and it was heartbreaking.

Sending lots of love to you.

ginasevern · 05/11/2026 13:26

I'm so sorry OP. You gave your beautiful girl two more years that she wouldn't have had. Two years of a lovely, loving home. Sending you love, I know the heartbreak only too well.

ParrotsAteThemAll · 05/11/2026 13:36

Sending you so much love. Sadly I know how it feels to lose a cat this way 😞 sounds like she had a very lovely life with you 💕

Thehorticulturalhussie · 05/11/2026 13:39

So sorry. But you gave her what life she had and she was loved.

Pudmyboy · 05/11/2026 18:31

I am so sorry, your grief is palpable and entirely natural. Maybe in time you will be able to focus on the memories of happier times, and remember she would not have had any life at all if not for you.💐🫂

LifeOfBriony · 05/11/2026 20:43

So so sorry to hear this. Sending hugs 😿 🫂
