Sweetheart don't blame yourself. I know its easier said than done, but it's not your fault. You can only protect them so much and you gave him what he wanted all the time, even a little time outside because he needed that.

Tan hunny, sometimes things just happen, there's no rhyme or reason for them, they just do.  You mustn't feel guilty, you do what you feel is best for your little ones, and you can do no more  :hug:

Rio will be safely on the Bridge now, and he will not be blaming you, so please do not blame yourself  :hug:

Tan hun i feel so upset for you but nothing compared to what you feel yourself.

Please please dont blame youself at all.  Some cats dont care to be kept indoors and will drive you mad trying to get out at every given opportunity, You have done everything possible to try and find a happy balance between safety and happiness but the two are often at war with one another.

For the amount of times my Seb has escaped its only by pure luck we still have him, He is happier when he has 24/7 access to his run but he'd still try and escape into the unrestricted outdoors given the chance, I choose to keep him less than 100% happy by confining him and often feel guilt knowing he's not fully as happy as he could be.

For the ones like Rio and Seb we will always walk on a knife edge trying our best to do what we can for their happiness and safety, However what will be will be and somtimes we just cant escape our fate  :'(   

This was an accident, a cruel horrible one and neither you nor chappie are in anyway to blame  :hug:

Tan please don't blame yourself, what happened was an accident and in no way your fault.   :hug:  I can only imagine the pain that you must be going through, losing a loved one in any circumstances is devastating but it can only be worse when it comes as such a shock  :hug:

I feel totally numb.iive lost him. My baby lad Wizzer Waddle. please come back Rio please.  I've done soo wrong, toattly my fault.  Everyday i have a battle in me to keep them in and ingnore the crys to go out or let them out for a bit each day. Rio was used to his freedom for a year before Ochi was taken then i tried to keep him in.  He was the worse at crying to go out for long periods. I have no excuses for decding to let him out for a bits at a time only his happimess  and it has been a compremise between us for me to control his safety as much as i could but letting him have some of the freedom he loved and that made him content and a happy lad.
I have prayed every night that to keep him safe and happy, God listened for almost a year and half now he stopped. Maybe i am looking for someone to blame when i it my fault for letting him carry on going out. Happiness in life or safety, i know now that Gizzy can't have both here.

Oh why does this have to happen tp us.

Oh my God I'm so sorry  :'(  You must be absolutely devastated, please remember that we are all here for you and you and your OH needn't have to go through this alone  :hug:

Rio will be safe and sound at the Bridge by now, reunited with his brother and waiting for you until you are ready to collect him  :hug:

Remember Our Love

I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

Oh no Tan  :( I am so sorry <massive hugs> Thinking of you xxxx

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep
I could see that you where crying, you found it hard to sleep...
I whined to you softly, as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine... I'm here..."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour your tea
You were thinking of the many times, your hand reached down to me...
I was with you at the shops today, your arms where getting sore
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more...

I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care...
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there...
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said: "It's me"...

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there...
It's possible for me, to be near you every day
To say to you with certainty; "I never went away"...

You sat there very quietly... then smiled.. I think you knew,
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you...

The day is over...
I smile and watch you yawn and say: "Goodnight my love, I'll see you in the morning"

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand side by side...
I have so many things to show you, so much for you to see
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me...
