Our daughter's cat has just been run over

It is horrible - when the children were little we lost several cats on the road and I refused to allow any more. And my DD and her family lost their kitten the same way.

Really feel sorry for you all I love my cat to bits and she is as important as a person . So sad !

That’s rotten, so near Christmas too and so sad for the DGC .
Our DD’s have both had the same happen to their cats over the last few years, and our own cat was run over too, poor old thing, so I understand how you all feel.
A friend of ours has a house cat, it’s never allowed outside, but think what a sterile life that is! A cat that explores his surroundings, tootles around in shrubbery, hunts and sleeps in the sunshine has a much better life, even if it’s a shorter one.

So sorry to hear about your daughter`s lovely cat. Mia`s predecessor Pepper was run over just over 8 years ago, but we`d been searching for him for 5 days before we found out what had happened to him.

I am so sorry. I have had three cats in my life and they all died young. I would dearly love another but can't deal with the heartache. I feel so sorry for you all.

Sorry to hear about your daughters much loved cat B9, so sad

I’m very sorry too B9exchange, pets find their way into our hearts and it’s devastating to lose them. ?

So very sorry, my sympathies.

So sorry B9exchange horrible thing to happen to your family pet, you have my sympathy.

Thank you all so much. He had the loudest miaow I have ever heard. I feel so helpless when they are all so distressed

Sorry to hear this my last cat was hit by a car as I was walking up the garden path I can still her the thud and it’s about 20 years ago not had a pet since

So sorry to hear that, I remember when my cat was run over many years ago, it is heart breaking, commiserations

So sad.

How sad. As if things weren't bad enough, I'm so sorry

That’s awful. So sorry to hear your news ☹️

I am very sorry for you. Rotten to have it happen any time but just before such a difficult and different Christmas this year really is awful.

Oh I'm so terribly sad to hear that. You all must be devastated. Life is so unfair sometimes.

I'm so sorry B9. This has happened to 2 of my much-loved cats, and it's heartbreaking. I have now got netting around my garden to make it "cat secure" to keep my cat in. She has plenty of shrubs and grass to wander around in, but at least I always know she is safe. for you and your family.

I had to stop having cats because I reached a point where I was worried every time they were outside. Then had house cats (with an outside run in the garden) but it didn’t seem right not letting them have their freedom. It’s heartbreaking to lose one in that way: The absolute worst thing is when a cat doesn’t come home and you never know what happened to it. I’m so sorry that your family has lost your little friend. x

Oh no! It’s heartbreaking to lose a pet in such a manner. I’m so sorry. ?

Deepest sympathies. As if life wasn’t difficult enough at the moment. So sad.

I can imagine how you all feel. The same thing happened to our beautiful black cat. It's like a member of the family has gone. I am thinking of you.

He was such a part of the family, seems a neighbour found him in the road, and broke the news. I can't believe I won't hear his loud voice demanding food again. My poor daughter has long covid, still altered sense of taste and smell, and they lost another cat four years ago when the cleaner let him out of the front door when they were on holiday, not realising that the cat flap had been locked to keep him in. That one must have come back, failed to get in, and been taken by a fox or been run over out of sight. I can't believe it has happened to them again.

So sorry to read this, my greatest sympathies, I lost a Persian the same way when she escaped from the house.

Oh how awful! And at Christmas. So sorry, a horrible end to a horrible year.
