Oh what a terrible thing to happen, and while you were there. But it was not your fault, these things happen whatever we do or don't do. I hope you manage to sort things out with the family when you are all calm.
As has been said already, it is NOT your fault. You were trying to help her. I am sorry for you loss, Jasmine was a beautiful girl. Know in your heart that you gave her so much love in her short life. Try to remember some of the good memories you had with her..RIP sweet Jasmine. Play happily at RB.
I am so sorry to hear about Jasmine! Like others have said, it wasn't your fault!
it was not your fault - you simply can't predict something like that. she was probably hit worse than you thought when you saw it.
to you during this painful time - it's always harder when it's unexpected, i think. & stop blaming yourself - it won't make things easier!
you can buy some wheat or oat seeds & plant him a little indoor kitty garden...
I'm so sorry.
I'm lighting a candle for little Jasmine.

I'm so sorry about Jasmine. From her pics, it looks like she was happy and well-loved. I agree w/ CarolPetunia about waiting and then talking to your family about moving Charlie indoors. As for grass, I've got a big bag of organic special cat grass blend from www.sproutpeople.com. If you want & you're in the US (might be against agriculture rules internationally), send me a msg w/ your mailing address, and my guys would be glad to shareOriginally Posted by laureen227

Hang in there!
I'm so sorry about little Jasmine. And no, it's not your fault. But as others have said, Please, please keep any other kitties you have in the future indoors. Not only will it prevent heartbreaks like this, but it may also prevent your cats from getting fatal diseases (nothing can be guaranteed but chances are your cats will be healthier), and your cats will live longer and healthier lives. I really don't mean to sound like I'm preaching to you, so please don't take it that way.
I am so sorry for your loss dear. Just know like everyone else has said, it was not your fault. You are in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Jasmine

Thank you. I lit one as well. Maybe in a few days when im feeling a bit better ill make a little cross or plaque for her. The ground near the fence was softer but mum insisted we put her in our garden bed where this nice native plant will grow bigger and shade her. The ground was so hard. Im freaking out about going outside to put the rubbish out, i dont go out the back very often. She isnt very deep. I am freaking out about another cat digging there
What a beautiful, beautiful baby girl she was. I'm so sorry you had to go through this.
As to Charlie. Make sure you give him lots of play time. Make a wand toy - a leather shoe lace taped to a dowel rod or even a stick makes a great toy. Just knot the loose end and he's got something to chase when you make it go.
It'll take some adjustment - but if you keep him stimulated - get some toys, and switch them up every few days - he'll do just fine. I know you're worried about your Dad letting him out - but if you help Charlie adjust to being inside by helping him get his exercise and staying occupied, that will really help everyone, I think.
As to the grass, you can go outside and clip some for him! Or as Whiskerynature pointed out, you can grow "cat grass" for him! Take a little pot of soil, and plant some oats and/or barley in it. He'll mow it himself as it starts to grow - or you can clip it for him.
Jasmine - RIP, sweet one. You were very, very loved, and you will be very, very missed.

Mum said we will definately keep Charlie inside from now on. It's just a matter of building some sort of outdoor enclosure so he doesn't go stir crazy. He peed under my bed this morning and now i realise he's done it before when i moved my bed a while ago, i wasnt sure what the smell was because it was faint. Ive sprayed stuff under there and hopefully he will stick to the litter tray. I still haven't moved my fleecy blanket. I bought it last year for the colder weather, and when charlie was recovering from his injuries it was jazzy who started sleeping more in my room, the blanket it all crumpled up in the corner and it has her indentation on it. Charlie went to smell is this morning and decided he didnt want to curl up on it. Even though they fought a bit and didn't sleep together, i think he knows she's gone. She was the first sister he had. The last kitty who passed away when we had charlie was a boy. I usually wear dark clothes, but im in black head to toe which feels apropriate. To those people (not on this forum) who dont have pets or dont form that special bond, you are missing out. They arent just pets, they are family members, like having your own child.
i need more sleep
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. What a shock for you and your family.
Sending some healing vibes to you...

Awwww I am so sorry, Jasmine is absolutely beautiful, there is no rhyme or reason for these tragedies
I hope some day you can find comfort in your memories of this sweet girl, remember she is at peace now and she doesn't want you to feel any guilt
Oh god, not Jasmine
I am so so sorry..I can only imagine how lost you must feel. Please know that this wasn't your fault, and it was just her time. These things happen sometimes.
May Jas rest in peace
Poor little baby.
