My cat Spyro passed away yesterday in a traffic accident. Wanted to share her memory with the world

In May 2015 my first cat Misty gave birth to 3 kittens. 2 girls and a boy. I named the 2 girls Sabu and Spyro, and the boy Sprinkles.

Yesterday was a very sad day as Spryo was hit by a car. The person who hit her was kind enough to take her to the nearest vet, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. The vet then scanned the microchip and phoned me. I found out when I came home and phoned them back. It was quite a shock and didn't really feel real, still doesn't quite feel real yet. Today I visited the vets and saw her body and gave her some strokes and warm parting words. I've been crying and incredibly sad for most of the day. Whenever I see the cat beds and the other cats without her it triggers sadness, especially when I see her empty food bowl. Its just so unreal and I can't believe she is gone... I expect that to be the case for a long time.

She was one of the most loving cats I've ever seen and I loved her so much. At every moment she would give me cuddles or brush against my legs, jump up onto the seats and brush her head strongly against my hands and arms. When I lay in bed she'd jump onto the covers then sleeps at my legs while occasionally coming up to say hello. Her meows were really loud and she was incredibly vocal with all sorts of other sounds.

Additionally she was very intelligent, the most intelligent out of the 3 kittens. When they were small I had a play pen which had a net and a zip to keep it closed. She figured out that it was possible to burrow under the pen to get out. After that she figured out how to open the zip from the inside! And even up until now she worked out how to open all the doors in the house, and most recently how to open the window... from the outside! I was always amazed by her intelligence and amount of love she'd give to me every day.

I feel super sad for the other 2 cats who loved her as well. They would always sleep together in the same basket and groom each other, a beautiful moment. I can see they are very sad and mourning along side me. My heart truly goes out to them.

I wanted to let the world know about Spyro, and to spread the word that she existed. I've created an imgur album with pictures of her starting from a few days ago all the way back to her as a kitten. I will be using these images to make a large collage to put on my wall so the memory of her will never be lost.

Here are some of the images:


Spyro, may you rest in piece. You are deeply missed!

Spyro, what a beautiful girl.  Thank you for sharing the pictures...I especially love the one of her in the little boat.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  It touches my heart that the person who hit her took her to the vet.   Knowing that person cared, it means a lot.  Bless you.

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful Spryo. I'm glad for the kindness of the person who hit her who made sure that you were able to know what happened and were able to see her one last time.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful girl with us and for sharing the things that made her so special to you. I feel like I got to know your sweet baby and feel honored to have known just a little about her.

Spryo was taken from you far too soon but she is at peace on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. I'm wishing peace for you Sabu and Sprinkles [emoji]10084[/emoji]️

Poor girl, I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Spyro know that you are loved and were very special to your family 

I'm so sorry for your loss, she was so adorable and young. I hope you can take solace in knowing that you provided a loving, kind home for her from the day she was born. She was a lucky cat to have such a wonderful family, even if her time here was brief.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, your beautiful tribute leads one to believe they knew that precious girl, and the sorrow deepens to know the world lost such a spunky, intelligent little girl. That you let us know of her existence verifies her worth on this earth, the love is felt with your words, and I have no doubt she knew she was loved and a part of a close family. She is at peace now, secure in knowing she will never be forgotten and will be held in loving hearts until those hearts soar free and follow that bond that was formed from love and you all meet again in a joyous reunion. She meant something to this world, she followed along on your life's journey for a while. Be thankful you knew this sweet girl and though you now must take another path, hers will parallel yours and she will never be truly gone as long as you have your precious memories to comfort you. The love that you shared will surround you as long as you live, that bond is something that not even death can break. It is not a physical element that can deteriorate with time, it is immortal and will fill your soul with love from the piece of her heart she left behind.  She took a piece of your heart too, to remind her of your love, something to cherish and to give comfort while you are separated at this time. While this broken heart hurts so very much in the beginning, time will soften the agony until the healing process begins. In the meantime she left you her legacy of love, she loves you too much to see you so sad with her passing. She only wants happiness and joy for the one she loves above all else. Go and do good things in her name, it helps to make you feel better about yourself and verifies her existence on this earth.  Donate your time at the local shelter, give comfort to those who are desperate for attention. Donate pet food to the local pantry if you can afford it, watch your streets for a homeless, starving kitten and find them a forever home, the heavens will ring with joy.

In the meantime, know you are not alone in your grief. We will all mourn for the loss of such a special princess, I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Give  Sabu and Sprinkles a kiss for me, I know their little hearts are broken too. Take care of yourself........RIP sweet Spyro, you will be missed so very much. Please comfort those you have left behind, they need to hear your meows on the wind or in their dreams to let them know you are sending your love, and that you will always do so until the end of time. You will be always held in loving hearts!      

Thanks everyone for the wonderful messages. Me and the rest of the cats are pulling through and staying as strong as possible

I am very sorry for your loss. The death of a fur baby is difficult at any age, but more so when it is sudden, and she is so young. Give your cats extra attention, for they know Spyro is gone.

The person who hit her must feel terrible, but at least she had the decency to take her to the vet. Most people wouldn't have, sad to say.

I too lost my boy fidget at age two after being hit by a car. The suddeness is difficult to come to terms with. You will always have your wonderful memories. We always talk about him but it's not painful anymore just lovely memories. My condolences.

Thanks again for the warm words. I would like to share some more things about Spyro.

First of all about 10 years ago we had a dog named Sky. He scared me at first but then I grew to love him very much. He sadly passed 2 years ago. Over the years his name evolved from Sky to Skyboy then to Boyski. He loved all 3 names.

The same love going happened with my kittens. Their official names are Sabu, Spyro and Sprinkles. Their names evolved into Sabu Ski Ski, Spyro Ski Ski and Sprinklisies. I love to call them by these extended names to show my never ending love for them.

Now a bit about the never ending love she gave me. One thing I love is when cats start kneading in my lap or bed covers. Spyro was no exception she loved to do it. So much so that she would sleep on the chair across the room and when I turned to tall to her she would be kneading in the air. It was such a pure showing of love.

In addition to that she couldn't live a moment without me. Even going to the bathroom or closing the kitchen door would make her cry for me to come back to her. Going out was tough. Back when I went outside once she followed me the whole way to where I was going. That was really scary when cars came past so after that each time I'd put her in the back of the house and close the bedroom door so I could sneak out the front so she didn't follow me. She got too clever and knew that when I put her there that I'd be out the front and would quickly jump out the back to greet me again. It became a race of who could get out first.

The last few days has been really really quiet without her. Going to the bathroom without her cheering me on, going out and looking back with some hope that she might somehow follow me, looking at the window with hope that she might just start scratching to come in. Even though I know she has passed my desperation for her return still makes me do these things.

I've created this image tribute to Spyro which will be printed onto a canvas and put onto my wall to treasure her memory forever.

That's a wonderful collage and a beautiful tribute to your baby.  RIP Spyro.  

that is beautiful, you can tell she was a very special girl 

Spryo's collage is beautiful. It's a beautiful tribute to your girl. And what a loving, clever girl she was [emoji]10084[/emoji]️ I'm glad you have so many wonderful memories of her. Hold onto those memories. They will see you through your grief. I'm sorry you had to lose your Spryo Ski Ski so soon and so suddenly.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy, but even harder when not expected, I can imagine. She looks like she was a sweet loving girl. It was very nice of the person to take her to a vet, & thanks to that you can at least have closure, rather than never knowing. I sounds like it was sudden, so hopefully that can give you some peace that she didn't suffer.
May she rest in peace.

I'm so sorry you lost Spyro in such a tragic way. She was beautiful.

My condolences on the loss of your loving little Spyro.

Very sorry that happened.....

so sorry for your sudden loss...she may have had a short life but she knew she was loved.

From Suwanee, Georgia.....

Rest in peace Spyro!  You are loved by all of us, sweet baby!  We now know your name and learned how special you were!  A life cut too short!  I'm so sorry precious girl!  

Bless the heart of the person that hit her that rushed her to the vet!!  I'm sure that's a trauma that's not easy to bounce back from!

I'm sooooo sorry for your loss.  I can see how much you loved her!!  I don't want to see it happen again with your other beloved babies, so what helps with mine is a spray bottle of water near the door.  Most times now I just have to show it to them and they back off.

Big hugs!!  I can see how much you miss her!!
