Oh dear, I am really upset today, my friend yvonne phoned me at just gone 9am, she was in hysterics and I couldn't make out what she was saying. When she had calme down she explained that her cat had been run over, fatally I am afraid to say. She one minute he was eating his breakfast, next minute one of her kids opened the door and he shot out, he is somewhat of a well known cat around her area as he used to escape quite often, even though she has tried her damned hardest to keep him in. She usually keeps the doors locked so the kids can't open it and to stop Henry from going out but her husband had left it unlocked after he had gone to work this morning.
Every other time he has gotten out in the past he has gone to the ladies house opposite her (she lives in a cul-de-sac). She thought she would look for him on the way taking the kids to school. When she got round the corner she said there was one of her neighbours there looking mortified, Yvonne asked her if everything was ok and she said has your Henry got out this morning and Yvonne said yes, the lady said I'm so sorry but he's been run over an he's not alive. There is a school bus that goes to the school twice a day and apparently he hit the cat, never batted an eyelid and just carried on, the school mums picked him up and moved him onto the pavemet.
Dear me, Yvonne is blaming herself, Henry used to be an outdoor cat and when they got him they had him fixed and he was indoor but he tried every way of escaping, she said she should have checked the door when she got up or put Henry in a different room. I told her to not blame herself at all and I've also told her to report the driver to the bus company.
I think whats upset her most aswell is the fact that it was a bus, he didn't stop and she said Henry looked terrible.I really, really feel for her and I have given my kitties an extra cuddle.x

It really feels like I have lost one of my own, the worse thing is thats playing on her mind is if he went straight away, she said that it was a mess, meaning blood, I'm sorry to say that but its playing on my mind too, its just beyond horrible. x
