What a sad post to make on my return to Purrs, but tonight we lost a friend.
Staying at my folks at the moment and tonight someone knocked at the door, saying a cat was, well, you all know, in the street.
My dear husband had to tell the dear sweet charming little girls family and make sure the cat looked as OK as it could have done given the circumstances and obvious speed of the car. As a ' cat person ' it's heartbreaking for him, it's not so long ago he had to do the same in our area, for some old dears cat that had been hit by someone who again hadn't stopped, either to avoid hitting it or to have the guts to tell someone they'd done it.
Another taken much too soon.
It sticks in my throat after the other day when I was defending keeping cats indoors, her ' parents ' loved her oh so much and are completely devastated, I don't blame them in any way at all, it's just such a dreadful shame, I'm so sorry they have to feel this pain and the kitty has lost her life.
She was a lovely sweet charming cheeky little girl, and even tho I didn't know her for very long, I'll always remember her.
You can fall for a cat so quickly as you know, and she was utterly adorable.
