Dear Bailey

[yola]

There is this sweet burmese that lives round here, he's always in the garden and recently has started coming in and nosing round the house. My 3 just look at him and walk off - he's everyone's friend.

At about 5pm today there was a knock on the door. I was feeding Sebastian so Ken answered. He came running downstairs and to the back door. He said the man that had come to the door mentioned a cat lying on the access road behind our house. He knew we had cats so knocked on our door.

I ran out with him; and it was Bailey. He was still warm :cry: I ran off to the flats and just knocked on the door of the only flat I could see with (a) catflap and (b) lights on. I told the woman that answered and she thought that at first he was hurt so I had to tell her no, he's dead. Ken brought him up off the road and put him on our garden table. I was so upset - there wasn't a mark on him, but his tongue was lolling out :( :( :(

Dear, young, beautiful Bailey - run free little sweet friendly kitty, sorry I couldn't have helped you.

That's very sad. Poor Bailey. Well done Yola & Ken for being helpful, it really makes a difference. When my cat was killed in a RTA, I was so grateful to the people who stopped to wrap her in a blanket & call me....:cry: :cry:

Oh Yola what a horrible way to end your weekend. Bet you didn't sleep well - I know I wouldn't. The only consolation for al concerned is that it was quick and that he was found immediately.
Last week, on my way back from Mum, there was a 'fox' on the bank my side of the road. As I neared it I wondered how it appeared to have darker patches in its fur. I got alongside and could see it was the mosy beautiful, big, fluffy dark tortie. On her back, with her head pointing down towards the road and her tail end up the bank. Beautiful thing. It was near the last house in a small village - I'm sure her people would have found her quite easily, and it wasn't raining or anything, so she would have been lying there waiting for them. :cry:

Just reading through my post and realised it was a big garbled . . .sorry. I didn't sleep well and am still very upset about Bailey as he was a real little love .

However have vented my anger a bit. The access road on which he was found runs behind our house and was bought by a housing association when they built a couple of bungalows for disabled residents on some derilict land a bit behind us. The road used to be unmade and this meant cars had to drive slowly along it. The HA asphalted it and all the nobs round here (including visitors to the bungalows) now speed along really fast (do you really need to get up to third gear on a 20m stretch of road???)

I've been nagging them for speed humps for months so this morning a very snotty email was fired off to them :mad:

Sorry - rambling again :roll:
