Hello all,
Last Saturday lunch time we had a call from a lady to say our cat was lying injured in the road up by the allotments. He had on a collar with his name, my phone number and the fact that he was chipped. The lady and her son had found him when out for a bike ride, so it was obviously a hit and run accident. Sasha subsequently died at the vets late that evening.
I am 80, I still have my other cat Chloe, who is 13. She is missing him, as of course am I, but should I get another one? Would it be fair to her, the incoming kitten/cat and me? Bearing in mind it might well outlive me.
Both my cats were/are purebred Asians, Chloe a Tiffanie ( long haired) and Sasha was a Burmilla, extremely active, extremely vocal! So, question two is, has anyone successfully fenced their garden to keep the cats in. I don't want to have a house cat, Chloe is used to going out, though not very far now, and Sasha could have shown Houdini a thing or two.
I live in a village, and am blaming myself for not keeping Sasha safe in the garden. I knew that road was like a race track at times, people just ignore the 30 mile an hour limit on it. Having said that my daughter had one run over outside her house by the Tesco van. But he loved it over there, was made a fuss of by all the allotment holders, paid visits to the pre-school which delighted the children and created mayhem when he decided to attend church . He was a "character" , well known and loved in the village.
What do you all think?
