This time last week I was cuddled up on the sofa to my beautiful boy Mylo. He was 7 months old an such a character. Totally obsessed with his mommy. Every morning I would get up to him outside my bedroom door waiting for cuddles, every night he'd be waiting for me when I got home. He hadn't been going outside for long an every time he did he'd be back thro the flap within half an hour, let out a big meow an come running to me for cuddles. Last Thursday he went out around 6pm and that was the last we saw of him. After a couple of hours I knew there was nothing that could keep him away from me for so long. Friday was spent walking miles with our dog Henry shaking his treats and calling him. Saturday morning we printed up flyers and I went around every door in our neighbourhood. Not long after I was home I had the call I was dreading. My lovely boy was hit by a car not longer after he'd left me. The lady said he didn't suffer, he was gone straight away which I thank god for. She and her husband took him, stroked him and admired the beautiful white stockings on his legs. They then buried him in their garden under the apple tree with their beloved cats. I am so grateful he was treated with such kindness by strangers. But so sorry I didn't keep him safe. You don't realise how much impact even a small decision like getting up to dry a floor rather than cuddling your bobbins for a minute longer can make. Sorry doesn't cut it- devastated. My poor little boy. Our time together was so much shorter than it should have been but I loved him enough for a lifetime. All our cats are special. But some of them I guess are too special for us. See you at the rainbow bridge my baby. I miss u so much and I am so sorry.

I am so very sorry to hear about your loss
Please don't beat yourself up...Mylo knew how much you loved him, that much is plain as day. And even if he met with such an awful end, it's good to hear that they treated him with respect and gave him a resting place of honor among their own kitties.
RIP precious Mylo

I'm so sorry for your loss, it's heartbreaking to lose them at such a young age, and in such a tragic way. Your boy was happy doing his thing, I still let my Casper outside even though I lost my Chrissy to a car because he is so miserable being kept inside and was born outside. We had to decide to let him be happy and possibly have a shorter life or to be outside and be happy. I'm going to definitely keep any future cats indoors from day one. Try to think of the good memories with him, he would not want you to be so sad and dwell on his death. A broken heart takes a long time to heal, but let Mylo live on with your memories and love. That was so wonderful he was treated with such kindness by those people and I'm glad that you know what happened, the NOT knowing where they are lasts a lifetime. Take care of yourself and know we will try to share your sorrow and heartache, it helps to talk with someone who knows what you are feeling. RIP beautiful Mylo!
How can you ever get over this.
Mylo was far too young to leave - my condolences.

Thank you all so much really people. It really helped to put things in words an then I came back on here to find such kind words from lovely people. All of our cats are special to us for different reasons and each one touches your heart in their own way. An the space they leave is not understood by many, to a lot of people they are just cats. Only people who have ever really loved these amazing little creatures get it. Each one truly leaves a paw print on your heart for life. Your comments have really helped me an I am very grateful. Xx
