Re: Little grey tabby cat


Hugs to your kind husband.
(If you don't find the owner swiftly, most local papers will take 'Found' ads free. So you say something like "Found, 23 May, grey tabby cat [location], sadly fatally injured. Passed peacefully and not alone" Put your phone no if you wish.)

Oh well done to your hubby for holding that little one in its last moments...how very sad... Good suggestion of DM's; someone must be worried sick about their missing cat. RIP, little one, run free....

Re: Little grey tabby cat


I just want to say thank you to you all so far for your lovely kind words, I have read them to my hubby and he cried again in sadness but also at your kindness because he feels guilty because he felt so helpless.

We have put an ad in the paper here which is widespread locally and hope that someone will notice, I am phoning vets local to that area tomorrow and hubby says there was a hotel/pub a few miles from where the cat died so would be a good idea to drop a notice there if they minded? Where little cat died is around 40-50 miles away rural which is why hubby struggled to find an owner but we will do everything we can possible. I know how I would feel if my pet disappeared.

Thank you all so much again, you have made a grown man know that what he did was the last kindness.

Re: Little grey tabby cat


Tell your Husband he is a Hero.....

Something similar happened to me I stopped the whole morning traffic to try and save the poor mite but it was too late. I never found its owner though all I could do was pick the wee one up and lay it to rest on the wall next to the road..... the woman who hit it never stopped.

RIP little one

Re: Little grey tabby cat


Your husband is one in a million!!! What a nice guy to stop and offer comfort to a dyeing animal.

I hope you can find the poor cats owners and let them know.

Re: Little grey tabby cat


What a kind act. Your husband is a very good man.

I think most people don't stop as they are scared by what they might see or feel they might be too upset by what they did. No excuse really as you owe it to the animal and to their distraught owner.

Re: Little grey tabby cat


How very sad but how wonderful of your husband for 'being there' for the last moments of this little cats life. Hope you can find the owners, it is awful not knowing...
