She still never went far though, their garden and the tenfoot. I have spent so much time thinking if only I didn't get her, if only somebody else got her chances are she would still be alive now. I feel so selfish. I should have learnt after what happened to my last two cats, but then other people live round here have cats too and have no problems.
random, the woman who took her in happens to be my sisters friends mum. she didn't actually see it happen, and only knows what she was told by the boys who saw it. Both she and her neighbour went to check Lexi straight away but she was already dead.
I just wish I could know that she died straight away. All I keep imagining is her laying there fitting or crying, alone. I can't bare the thought of it.  I'm just so lonely without her. |
Hello - firstly I am so sorry that your babe was lost in this way. I have lost two cats to RTA's and felt just as you do.
I spoke to my vet about how I felt and he assures me that the chances are high that they died instantly. But to my question - what if they didn't I was told they would have been in shock so would have felt no pain or even been aware of what happened.
This has helped me enormously and I thought it may help you feel a little bit less distressed in goingover the what if's in your head.
I think it is alovely idea that you were thinking about perhaps some vol work with cats. Maybe you'll bump into a house cat one day. I have had one cat who never went out and she was very happy and contented as an indoor girl.
Time will make it a little less stressful.
