Just had a text to say that her beautiful Bengal was run over outside her house this morning. We were only laughing at him yesterday pretending he didn't know how to work the cat flap. (She is on her own with two children, so we are in a support bubble for childcare), this cat was part of our bubble. sad The children and my daughter are in floods of tears and we are also struggling.

We lost our cat two and a half years ago when he was hit by a car ,we said no more cats ! 6 months later we had two beautiful kittens ,sisters .We let them out ,one is a wanderer and the other a bit of a home bird,she goes out th back door and round the front so I have to let her back in,her sister will stay out for hours only coming home ofr food.They both come in as soon as its dark though .We wouldn't be without them .
Hope your wee kitten gets well and thrives ,the children will love its antics ,theres nothing as much fun as a kitten

So sorry about the Bengal. We had a Bengal and she was very beautiful. We let her out but she mostly just went into our large garden. After 4 years she disappeared one day. I rang vet as she is microchipped but not be found but vet told me 2 maincoons had also gone missing on same day who lived very close to us. Vet said most likely someone stole to breed from her not knowing she was neutered. Vet said once person realises she does not get pregnant they will kick her out. She might come home. She went missin on September 12th and we still wonder out calling for her. Not knowing what happened is worse. We lost another cat after it was run over a long haired grey. She was a beautiful cat and so affectionate. She was run over outside our house. My son found her in morning. She still looked perfect. We buried her in our garden under her favourite tree.

newnanny that's awful. There certainly are bad people around. I really hope that somehow that poor puss makes its way home.
