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.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!
Thanks yall. It's especially hard, since we have no friends in people locally…….. I'm glad the cats at least love us.
Billy must have gotten out last night and we didn't know it.
Thanks man. And then we got assholes in another thread talkin about shootin cats with darts and feedin um antifreeze. I just had to close the thread and walk away or I wouldda got banned. Awful sorry for your losses.Sorry to hear about this, @RustyRatRod . We lost two of our cats in short order recently. Thinks no it’s Bobcats. It was the same situation, we would try to get them in at night but the two boys were excellent hunters and they always wanted to pull all nighters and hunt. They would try to come in first thing in the morning with a kill. We know it is dangerous because coyotes are rampant and there are a lot of owls. We always tried to get them in and would spend half an hour trying to get them inside. They would hide from us so they could stay out. We’re down to be and might be looking for a couple more but right now it’s too soon.

We'll lose Clyde, I'm fraid if we caint get him to acclimate to bein an inside only cat. He slap pitches a FIT to go back out after a while.
Hell yeah. They earn their keep, despite seemin like they sleep 23 hours a day. lolThe one we have left will be laying on the couch when I go to work and he’ll be in the cleaner spot when I come home. Then he pitches a fit to go out at 9 pm.
I’d hate to lose him because he really helps us out with how many mice he kills and keeps our garden free of bunnies and gophers.
I’ll be doing some predator hunting soon.
Wow Man.... I'm Sure More of Us Love Y'all than Y'all BOTH Know, Brother Rob!Thanks yall. It's especially hard, since we have no friends in people locally. No one ever comes by for a visit. We've jokes with each other that if something happened to us both at the same time, we wouldn't be found for weeks and it's true. My friend Terius would probably be the one to find us. I have a sister 25 minutes away in Macon and they have been out here ONCE in the twenty years we've been out here. We go there several times a year. I'm glad the cats at least love us.
fricking cretinsThanks man. And then we got assholes in another thread talkin about shootin cats with darts and feedin um antifreeze. I just had to close the thread and walk away or I wouldda got banned. Awful sorry for your losses.
