Shysal, I was really sorry to read this, having gone through the very same thing last September when we lost our beloved Pepper the same way. Just tell yourself that you made her very happy, as she did you. Time heals, but you won`t forget her.

shysal, I'm so sorry to hear about Sugababe. We can only do our best with our cats, can't we? They're answerable only to themselves and loved so much by us. She must have been a happy wee thing as time has gone on, doing what pleased her. 
I returned this afternoon from childminding duties at DD's to find a phone message from a lady who has found Sugababe dead on the roadside. She wasn't socialized as a kitten, scared of humans but loving my Saffron (not mutual!). In recent months she has become much more loving towards me and spent much of her time at home, with mornings spend in the fields which unfortunately have a track leading to the main road where she was found.
Another of my cats met the same fate last year. I live on a quiet cul-de-sac and thought they would be safe. Two cats left now! Bugsie is a lazy stay-at-home lump, but Saffron is a wanderer, often missing for days at a time, so I had stopped worrying about her absences, but now now!
It is nice to get this off my chest, I can now face de-registering Sugababe's micro-chip and washing her bedding.
