10 years old, hit by a car. More unfortunately, it was the morning I had to go out of town, so only found out when the neighbour rang the doorbell (luckily? a video doorbell).

    Because our cats are indoor/outdoor. There’s a big paddock and hill with bush behind our property, but no, he had to go nosying out the other side. Our other cat is happy enough staying with the dog (stealing her bed) outside. He didn’t normally wander much, but the warmer weather must have made him restless.

          They just irresponsibly led to the death of their cat then went on the internet looking for sympathy. Miss me with that.

          I’m not the dick here, I’m just not in a room of people who care to do anything but give false sympathy and look the other way.

            You are the dick, rubbing their cat’s death in their face to get your little moral superiority high. As if you actually care. Disgusting behavior.

              Yes, my moral superiority of keeping my animals alive and advocating for it loudly.

              Remember everyone, spay and neuter your pet and be responsible and leash your dog and keep your cat indoors or leashed.

              I’ll keep being this dick, but my animals will stay alive and some folks will realize that deaths like this are avoidable.

              I am the dick, but my cat is safe and sound

            Is your opinion to keep a cat locked into a house?

            Can I do the same to you?

            Otherwise I would irresponsibly let you die, right?

    So sorry! I know the hurt that comes from this.

    Years ago, I was running late for a job interview. He was sleeping under my car, and……

    Words will never express the heartbreak that is borne from the loss of a cherished pet. Go easy on yourself through this, and allow it to take as long as it takes.

    Can I ask why he was outside? This common story never gets less sad and sadly never gets less common

    How did the car get in your house, you should sue for gross negligence and wrongful death as well as costs to repair the structural damage

    I’ll take the downvotes if it helps one person do the opposite
