This morning I was rolling my trash out for pick up, and I saw my beautiful Cymone lying in the road. Somebody must have hit her early this morning, although I didn't hear anything.
I am so sad for her, she was such a sweet kitty. Even hubby loved her, she used to wait for him to come home at night to get in her snuggles.
I am mad at myself too though, I've always tried to keep my kitties indoors. In fact when I had my first cat it was indoor only. But these last two have been outdoor kitties when I got them from the shelter and it was so difficult to keep thim indoors. They would manage to sneak out everytime my kids opened a door or window, so we had just accepted the fact that they were going out. I live on a fairly busy road, especially in the summer, but they've always seemed to stick to the backyard for the most part. In fact, I've never seen Cymone or Sunshine near the road at all. That was always my 'comfort' knowing they were hanging out in the yard and chasing bees!!
We lost a young cat last year, but he was indoor only and darted outside one night when my son opened the door. He was hit, and it was awful for all of us. I"m sure some of you remember that from last Christmas.
Well, there is nothing I can do now except to try harder to keep my one remaining kitty inside. She is pretty determined to be out, so I think I'll have my hands full with this.
Say a prayer for little Cymone, she was a very sweet kitty. and I know my kids and I will miss her dearly.
