Dear Kaylee,
It has almost been two weeks. I still haven't had the courage to do anything.
It all happened too fast and it is so unfair.

You escaped from the house, because your daddy didn't shut the door properly. He failed to tell me that you were outside for over 30 mins. We didn't think much of it, you never left our yard. I found you in the backyard in the bushes, you didn't want to come out. I told you i'd give you five more minutes as you loved chewing on the grass when you got to go out.
I got dressed and i hadn't had a t shirt on when i saw you come out. I saw you looking at the neighbours direction and you were chirping, I was about to come out and get you until He told me to put a shirt on as it was cold (cant have be in the backyard in the bra) As i put my shirt on and walked back down the hall way I heard you scream and the dogs go beserk.

I ran outside and screamed i could hear you in the next doors backyard, i got your daddy to jump the fence. You were in the big doggies mouth, he had to hit the dog with the shovel to get him to leave you alone. He handed you to me, you weren't bleeding but you were wet, i could see your back legs were broken. I screamed that you were going to Die and i had seen it all before many years ago.

I rushed you down to the vet, I was in tears, the vet could barely understand me as I was shaking. I couldn't even look at you because I just knew what would happen. The vet said you couldn't feel your Right leg or Tail. He said there was hope and to wait until the morning. You had a lot of muscle and tissue damage, He assured me the worst case scenario was that you would lose your leg and Tail.

I rang the vet at 4 pm, asking how you were, i should have come down to see you. But i was in no state to drive. He told me not to worry and just to come in the morning and we will see how it goes over night. I was freezing by this stage. I layed in bed with Liam your human brother. I was crying the whole time. at 5:50 pm I yelled out to you that it was okay if you needed to go to Kitty heaven, But that i needed you so much! at 6:19 pm a rush of warmth blood went rushed through my body. I knew something had happened i was temped to pick up the phone but knew the Vet should have turned the phone over at 6.
At 6:26 pm just a few minutes later the vet had called he was so sorry and that you had died just minutes before. I screamed and screamed. My MIL came and tried to console me I just couldn't believe it you had gone. I prayed he had gotten the wrong cat.

The next morning, after barely any sleep. I came to say goodbye and arrange your Funeral. I decided to get you cremated so you can always be with me. I ordered a beautiful white urn that has a pink flower and a few black spots. Just the way you were. I cuddled your frozen body and managed to warm up your frozen ear. I couldn't believe you were gone.
You did not deserve to Die. Not this soon. You are so special. I brought you with me across the world. You gave me kisses, chatted all day, clawed my furniture and most of all you always told me to go to bed at 9 pm. Just so we could have our cuddle. you would dig up the blanket and curl up in my arm. I miss you so so so so much.

Ever since your passing i think of you all day every day. I cry every day and I can't see this wound ever healing. I have to stay strong for your Brothers, not just the human Kind but also the furry ones.
They haven't touched your bed. Teufel has been extra cuddly. He hates seeing me cry. In fact he heard me cry and is now on my lap giving me long purrs.

I have spoken to the neighbours, they are so sorry. They can not imagine their dog ever doing this as it was raised with kittens and cats. I have advised them to ring the vets as their main concern is they would do this to another animal or a small child. I cannot take any legal action against them because you went in their Yard. I just want to know why you went! I just wish i could turn back time and have grabbed you when i could have.

I tried so hard to be a good cat owner and never letting you or the other two go out. As hard as i tried, i feel like i've failed


I miss you and Love you so much. I am picking up every white fur of yours i can find and storing it. I feel crazy as I can still hear your meows and odd things around the house. I was so sure i saw you by the rose bushes this morning. I really hope your spirit is with me.

I will always love you my little snowflake princess.

Your Meowmy.

To the precious kitty who shared my name... May you rest in peace and play happy at the Bridge.


I am so, so sorry to read of such a tragedy hun...
I know how hard it is not to blame yourself, but this was a tragic ACCIDENT, and NOT your fault.

I'm so sorry. My gosh, I am crying too. I'm so sorry for your loss of your beloved Kaylee. And it's terrible just terrible that you are living with feeling such guilt. It's not your fault, it's not. Accidents happen. I hope you can forgive yourself during your grieving process. It was an accident. I'm so sorry.

Kaylee

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry you lost your dear little friend, Kaylee.

There is not fault for you.....it was a horrible accident. You write so beautifully about Kaylee. Your words mirror the love you two had. A bond like that, death cannot destroy.

Take heart that her hold on your heart is the same as it was. She will be at the bridge for you, chewing on the grass she loves so much.


God bless.

Oh, Fran. I know it must hurt terribly, and am sending you lots of virtual hugs.

We've got so many fond memories of Kaylee from the time she and Teufel stayed here. She was far more adventurous than he was and treated their visit as the Great Adventure. The first thing she'd do when I let them out of the spare room was run and use Jamie's litter box - for some reason that was a huge thrill. Then she would climb up and over everything and gather up every toy she could find and push them under the bed - you should have seen the collection she had after just a day or two. She always knew which room Jamie was in and would beg to be let in with him. He would go out on the balcony and peep through the door at them, and Kaylee would flirt with him. She played and played, but also demanded lots of scritches and cuddling.

She was a very special little girl.

Awwww Fran. I was so afraid to come here when I saw your name. I am crying for you now. How traumatic for you.
You must be in such a state of shock. I wish I could do something to take the pain away

Thank you everyone for your condolences.
I picked her up this morning, I am glad i picked out her urn, she is absolutely stunning, i kept shaking it but i think they must have sealed her ashes in. Hubby and I had a good cry together. It has just been over two weeks, its gone by so quickly.
Teufel has put on a bit of weight since her passing, and Johnny has been sitting on my lap giving me cuddles. We miss her terribly.

I love you so much Kaylee I will never forget you!
