It is midnight here...I have been online for a few hours, and my husband just got home from town...he went in to see the fireworks, and I opted to stay home...I wanted to get online to come here....after making several posts, and feeling pretty good about this day....my husband just got home, about 15 minutes ago...and the first words out of his mouth were..." One of your cats has been run over" I can't describe to you the instant pain I felt...and I said...."which one?" and he said " the yellow and white one"
That would be Peaches.....I ran outside to the road....and in the dark I found her....she was still warm, so it had to have just happened....I came inside holding her, and asked him if he had done it...he said no....I beleive him....so some asshole didn't even have the guts to stop and tell me he hit my cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We don't have much traffic on this road at all, but since tonight was the 4th of July, many people were going into town to see the fireworks, and I heard about 3 cars go by on there way home from the fireworks..... hissy....I hope this doesn't change your mind about letting me have the babies.....this has NEVER happened before!!!!!!! I have never had a cat ran over!!! I cried and cried and cried...and I'm still crying.....peaches was such a survivor.....she is the one I spent so much money on at the vets a couple months ago....poor Peaches.

In the morning I will bury her. I feel so bad for her!!!!

Dear friend Debby, please accept my condolences. I'm heartbroken to learn your wonderful friend Peaches has passed away. I know you love her so! Always know she loves you, too. And remember you can never be deprived of those memories the two of you will always share.

May God bless dear Peaches and lead her to the Rainbow Bridge, where she will be waiting for you! Please take care of yourself now, in the realization that we all depart this world eventually. It was Peaches' time just now. Her beautiful soul lives eternally and is always thinking of you, as you likewise keep her in your heart.

Rest in peace, Peaches. You're an angel now!

My Dear Friend Debby; I just came to the Site and this is the second thing I read. . . . .I am so upset for you that I can hardly type. Honey, you don't deserve this; we all know how much you cared about Peaches.


I know it is too soon; but when you can, please go to the "Paws and Reflect" Forum and tell us your favorite (good)
memory of Little Peaches.

You are both in my prayers.

We are ALL here for you.

I hate fireworks for this reason. It scares the animals so that they lose touch with their senses and do things they would normally not do. With all the cats you do have and all the land, it is hard to round them up and bring them inside to safety, and for me, if the ferals had been in the house last night, we wouldn't have a house left. This morning I am missing 3 ferals at food call, but I hope they are just hiding and to scared to come out right now. I am just really sorry for the hole in your heart right now, and I pray soon that the sadness will pass and you will feel better.

Debbie, it hurts so much to face the death of a loved member of the family. The pain can be unbearable, so make sure you lean on us and your loved ones to make your way through the grief. My thoughts are with you and remember that Peaches will be waiting for you at the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Debby, I'm so sorry to hear about Peaches. I know what you are going through because one of my babies died too, last week. I just couldn't bring myself to write it. My little Brutus's growth had been lagging behind his littermates, and he died the night before his vet appointment to find out why. I'd seen him at 10:30 that night and he was just a happy little kitty, and I had to laugh as he kept bouncing up and down the sidewalk and trying to follow me in the house. Then in the morning, he was gone, at only 7 weeks old.
You just have to get through it by loving your other kitties that much more.

Debby and Fireshoes, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved pets. Know that now they are up there at the bridge chasing butterflies and maybe each other waiting for the day they will meet with you, again.

Debby and Fireshoes... words can not express how sad this makes me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I wish there was something I could say or do
Just remember that they are in a very wonderful place right now and they are well taken care of. You'll see them again one day.. so you do have a very joyous reunion to look forward to. Please take care of yourselves... and keep your head up.

Thank you ALL for your kind words of support....it is so great to have my friends here who understand and care. When I told my husband how sad I was and how hurt about Peaches, he just said flippantly, Well, that's just part of life.
Well, it may be part of life...but it sucks...and some compassion would be nice....but I am thankful I have you all here, to ease my pain.
Fireshoes....I am SO sorry to hear about you losing Brutus....you are in my prayers.
Thanks Donna and Colby for the offer of talking on the phone....I am okay right now, but if I need to talk later...I will call! Thanks!!
And thanks Hissy....for calling me tonight...and cheering me up....you are the absolute best!!!! *hugs*
And Joe....your e-mail card you sent me was so thoughtful and beautiful, it made me cry again....you are so sweet....thanks guys for being so good to me.
