Goldie was hit by a car

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
Our Garfield cat, Goldie, was hit by a car and DH found him dead on the sidewalk about a block from our home. I had been told by some of our neighbors that possibly Goldie had been killed. DH brought him home and buried him in our backyard.

Goldie showed up in our backyard a few years ago. He was fixed and had obviously had a good home at one time. He was very lovable, but no matter what DH did, Goldie would not stay home. He would sometimes return after 3 days away, but he would always come back when he was hungry. DH fed him yesterday and then, as usual, the call of the wild drew Goldie away. He always slept outside, even in the winter, and would not come indoors.

He frequently returned from his escapades with various cuts, which DH would treat for him. He was a super-feisty cat, befitting of his red fur. I'm sure he loved fighting other male cats.

DH never cries, but he is crying now. And so am I. RIP dear Goldie.

I didn't see this post till now. I am so sorry for the loss of Goldie. That call of the wild is tough to resist for our little friends.

You and your DH have good hearts to have taken care of him and deeply mourn his loss.

RIP dear Goldie, and God bless you and your DH.

Thanks everyone for your condolences. If my neighbors hadn't told me, we would never have found Goldie. He died just one block away, but on a street we rarely walk down. DH was glad that "we could bring him home".

I'm so sorry, though I am glad you were able to bring him home and find some closure.




Roam freely over the bridge now, Goldie. You are missed.
