You poor thing, its terrible losing a furry friend particularly when it is so unexpected. you must be in shock My heart goes out to you. As we haven't chatted before I hope you dont find it too presumptious if I send you a hug!!!

I am sorry to hear about your little one losing the battle with the car.

It is a jungle out there for our furry friends. And I am going to kill Frankie if he starts begging for food again.

[horselady]

Oh I'm so, so sorry. We always swear we will never put ourselves through it again, never have another one etc. then along comes a furry friend that captures your heart and off you go again. Lots of hugs.

Dear Ruthann - so so sorry to hear about smirnoff. We spend the years loving them and they love us in return. Its always so devasting. I don't think any of us really get over it.

My heart goes out to you.

Try to think of the good times that you had with your boy - he would have loved you as much as you loved him.

He is at peace now - playing with your other wee cats in pussy cat heaven. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

So sorry ruthann58. I hate to hear of cats being killed by cars. It's true that most cats get killed between dusk and dawn as, although there is less traffic, cats feel safer wandering in the roads and hunting all the little noctural animals.

For many years we have never let our cats have outside between dusk and dawn (as we too lost several cats on the road). We having lost any cats to road accidents since their enforced curfew.

I know this doesn't help you now and sincerely feel really sorry for your loss. I know how awful you must feel.

xx

'We haven't lost' Sorry

[garner]

So sorry for your sad loss of smirnoff, i'ts so terrible when these things happen.Because I live near a road and once lost a cat to a road accident in the night hours, I decided that my cats stay in at night.They are oldies now but I am glad I made that decision.It is so upsetting for you I know .g.

[bensmum]

So sorry ruthann - I have lost a cat like this and it's horrible. I live near a road which is much busier during the day, my lovely Dylan was killed during the day out there. Unfortunately having pets means going through this heartache but you have had more than your fair share lately.
I'm sending ((((((((hugs)))))))) and hope that Smirnoff has found his friends in cat heaven

I am really so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you. It really is awful when one of your pets die it feels like part of your family is gone. Will be thinking of you. take care. xx

[shaking]

I sincerely sympathise with you, it is a terrible thing to have happened. You will feel sad for days but in time you will start to remember all the funny things he did and you will smile again, they never really leave us. Take care.

Oh, ruthann, I'm so sorry to hear about Smirnoff. You know that I know how you feel, having lost my little Monty last weekend. I'm so paranoid about my cats, I always make sure they're all indoors when I'm at work and at night. Sometimes, I've had to wait up till midnight to get them all in. My son says I'm over the top, but sadly, we know what can happen, so we do our best for them. I can never understand how someone can hit a cat with a car and not realise what they've done. My heart goes out to you - just think that now Smirnoff is at rest, with his friends. Love, K xx

[ruthann58]

thanks everyone for all your kind replies dont feel quite as bad this morning apart from a stonking headache but i think that might be down to crying so much .i buried him and have put a stepping stone on him when i feel ready my husband is going to make me some concrete and we are going to make the three of them their own little stepping stone with their names on and let the other cats put some paw prints on but at the moment it is all to raw. seemed so strange last night in the lounge just one cat ( other 1 was still out) and cassie 6 months ago there was 5 cats and 2 dogs smirnoff was a beautiful cat very laid back and no trouble at all he had to have insulin injections twice a day and never once scratched me or complained when i injected him he loved the summer and would sleep in the greenhouse if it was not warm enough to be outside and snooze he never went very far and was always about the garden or house somewhere that was why it was such a shock that he was killed on the road in the winter he would snuggle up with cassie and at night there was always me, cassie, him and issy on the sofa he was a big cat nearly as big as cassie thank you all again but i need tissues and coffee now ruth

I was out all day yesterday and have only just been catching up with things. I am so very very sorry to hear of your loss. I send you hugs and hope the pain will lessen in time. I have suffered loss in the past and did the I will never put myself through this but after a good long time to get through the grief and just as I was getting used to an empty house, two little brothers put their paws on my heart and melted it. I am thinking of you but also thinking of all those little friends of ours having a good time at rainbow bridge waiting till we are all together again. xxxx to everyone today who sheds tears.
