We Lost A Cat Today

Some cats can handle being outside. I see them look both ways before crossing roads even. Other cats just run and hope and that's how you get killed. Cars aside, I hear coyotes howling every night and we get hawks and the damn neighbor dogs. My cats are my emotional healers so I give them everything they could dream of as long as they stay inside!
Well, truthfully, the car hit thing was not what happened. He was in the ditch beside the road, but he was so torn up, he didn't look like a cat anymore. I didn't let Kitty see him. Something got him and tore him slam to pieces. It breaks my heart to even post about it. There's no way in hell he felt much pain for very long though, thank goodness.

All that said, he did get out and he was off our property, so all bets are off. Nothing we can do. whether it was a coyote, neighbor's dog or whatever, he's gone.
