My kitty died

My 3-year-old cat died this morning -

He is an outdoor cat, or was, and LOVED hunting mice. His name was Tiger because of his black stripes.

He was rarely seen, because our other kitties, not mentioning names - (Chips!!) hated Tiger and un-welcomed him.

Even though Tiger was only seen about 2 weeks in the whole year , he was VERY tame. You could hold him, pet him ETC.

The vets always mentioned his great temperament.

We think he died today, in a car accident, got hit, broke some bones (for sure) and then was able to carry himself a few meters away, in the trees. He was slightly buried in fresh snow, and his fur was stuck to the ice under him.
He was bleeding slightly from his mouth.

We had our own cremation, since burying him was out of question (snow...frost...soil was still frozen)
At least he is warm now...and he's probably trying to catch that mouse he had for dinner last night in heaven!!

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. you're right, Tiger is in a place now where there are no cars, he will ever get sick and he can spend his time hunting and chasing to his heart's content.

Aww. I'm so sorry. He is in the best place he could possibly be now. Just remember that you have other kitties to love too! RIP.

Re: My kitty died

I'm sorry to hear. I lost 2 kitties when I was younger to outdoor situations (one to a car accident and other had his leg shattered by someone shooting him with a Bebe gun). After such traumas, I vowed whenever I got my own cat when I was older to keep her indoors. I couldn't ever bear that kind of pain again. I hope you find comfort soon.

Thank you for the support!
I guess everyone dies sometime - well at least my other kitty is still healthy and fine, and Tiger is in a good place now - and rather famous, he's on the internet - on a guinea pig site too!

Re: My kitty died

Yup! Rather than thinking of all the bad things, just think of all the good times you spent with him, and that he is probably so happy up there.
