My Sweet little boyfriend...

He started coming by our house this spring. He was a young guy, definately not full grown. Sweet little personality, loving, friendly. We always put food out for him when he stopped by. He usually stopped by on Thursdays. Last night I was on the porch talking to him, and petting him, while he ate. I loved him.

Today, he got hit by a car, I think in front of our house. We rushed him to a vet, but it was just too late He died in my arms just before we got to the vet. They tried to save him, but they couldn't.

He wasn't MY cat, but I loved him. I just hope he knew he was loved. I hope he was more comfortable in my arms dying, then laying on the side of the road alone. I am thankful I knew him. I just wish he didn't die. I wish I could have seen him more.



I love you little guy, I will miss you. I want to go sit on the porch and see you right now, but I know you won't be there...

Poor baby! Life is hard and short for most outdoor cats. I'm glad you were there to help him. If you were "his" person, he'll be waiting at the Bridge for you...

I'm sorry you had to experience this.

Bless his heart. He loved you that's why he kept coming back. You took such good care of him and it showed up to the last moments. I'm so sorry that this precious baby passed so soon. Lots of hugs and prayers to you. Rest in peace little guy.

God bless this precious little life and you for caring and loving him.

Thank you. It's been over 24 hours since it happened, and I can't get the way he looked at me and meowed a few strange meows at me out of my mind. It rips my heart out every time. He stopped meowing when I picked him up, and he just laid there.

I have been a little more attentive to my girls since that. First thing I told them after the whole thing, "THAT is exactly why I don't like you outside"

He was so beautiful, if he had lived, we were going to addopt him. We were going to pay what ever to save his life, and if he had no family(We found out he did), and if they didn't want to pay, we were going to. He would have been my boy. My girls my not have liked it. As it is... he's the creator's cat now.
Thank you again.

Your little man was lucky to have you as his friend. He did not deserve to pass away the way he did, but at least he had someone who cared about him to be with him at the end. I am sorry you had to go through that. Just love on your other friends and let them comfort you through this hard time.

Being with him in the end made all the difference in the world.

the worst way for a pet to go is unnaturally..or horribly.. at the hands of another human (except in cases of vet administered)

I personally have not lost a pet to a car or anything like that. all my pets have been natural, old age or sickness of some sort.

My heart goes out to you I lost a cat today..

Thank you. Today I met a woman who he used to visit. She would feed him, and let him in her house. I let her know what happened. I felt bad for doing it, but I was curious if she knew him. I figure everyone in the neighborhood knew him. Her family called him Mr. T.

I just called him my boyfriend. Thursday will be especially sad for me. Thursdays was the day people coming over would tell me "Tia, Your boyfriend is here". I sat on the porch with him last Thursday for a while, and loved him up. He passed away Friday after noon.

Now that Halloween is over, and all the parties I had planned on going to are done, the reality of this has set in again. I should feel better by now. I should be okay with it. But I am not. This is the first time Any animal has died in my arms like this.

I thank you all for your wonderful thoughts. I saw his dishes in the kitchen today, and it made me sad. I miss him.

Please look at his pictures... He was such a handsome boy. I wish I could have done more.

Hi,

Ah..such a nice cat. It looks just like my Naomi...a cat from many, many years ago that simply ran away from home one day and did not return. I know how you feel. Over the years I've lost 2 cats and a dog on the road. A few weeks ago I hit a cat while driving home. There was simply nothing I could do...she ran out right in front of me. I was so devastated. My wife and I stopped, and I went out to her on the road. She was already gone, but I gently carried her over to the side of the road..petted her and just told her I was so sorry. I came home and gave my cat, Jasmine, a big hug. I'm so sorry to hear this story but I agree with everything that has been said. It was special that you came into this kitty's life and shared your love with him right up until the end. You certainly did all you could for him. I fully believe that our loved pets go to a special place when they leave us. Be comforted by the great kindness that you showed. Life is so fragile for all of us. Handle with prayer....

Regards,
Keith

I'm so sorry for your loss, how terribly sad. But how wonderful for him that you were there, and he went to the Bridge in your loving arms. You did all you could. If you didn't care, didn't ahve a loving heart, it wouldn't hurt so much. It's who you are. Poor little baby. I'm crying for him too.

It was so good of you to be there for him and look after him at the end. He wasn't alone and that was a blessing for him. Poor little guy.

In my neighborhood there are sometimes outdoor cats that hang out in my yard. I think they belong to people, because they look well. I get acquainted with some of them, and of course attached.

Then they disappear after a couple of years. I've lived in the house for 11 years, and this has happened with at least 5 cats.

But, thankfully, I never found one of them injured.

Sounds like you need a boy cat in your life. Maybe this one is the key to unlocking the door to let a boy cat who needs you into your home and heart. In time, maybe you'll consider it. It would be a tribute to "your little boy friend." There are so many in need.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Every time a cat in my life dies I feel responsible. It's irrational, I know, but that's how I feel. It's painful. I know.

I'm sorry.

Robin
