Cinnamon Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 First the car wouldn't start. Then,I was out shopping & my phone rang.It was my Hubby telling me that Pip, my wonderful 3 year old tortoiseshell cat had been run over & killed on the road outside our house. I am just devestated. Goodness knows how I am going to tell the girls.They adored Pip & were playing with her just this morning. The house already feels empty without her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Oh Sarah.... Oh dear. What an awful thing to happen. I'm so sorry. You must be feeling just terrible. Sending you lots of hugs, and I hope your girls cope with the sad news too. Loosing a pet unexpectedly is just heart-breaking..... xx xx xx xx Edited January 25, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 How awful for you - When I was pregnant with Caitlin someone ran over our much loved cat, Buttons, and left him for dead. By the time we found him, it was too late. We were all devestated, and it wasn't until Caitlin was about 6 months old that we felt ready for a new cat. It's amazing how pets can make a difference in our lives, and 3 years on, I still half expect Buttons to meander in one day, and plonk himself down on the couch. You have my greatest sympathies, and I hope telling the girls isn't too hard. Sending all our love xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Thanks everyone. I have had a good old blub & am feeling less shocked & a bit calmer now. Pip had a funny last few days. Yesterday evening she went crazy,attacking a toy mouse in the living room, the day before that she got trapped in my wardrobe & nearly gave me a heart attack when I opened the door & she looked up at me.This morning she had been stalking a big male pheasant,& nearly got him too according to my neighbour! Its good to remember the funny things she did & all her mad little habits Bracing myself for the childrens arrival home now........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm so sorry Sarah. I know how horrible it can be - our first dog was run over - chasing a cat from an upstairs flat. Lots of positive thoughts to you - and its good to remember all the lovely things about her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Chick Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Sorry to hear about the cat Sarah, I know how it feels too. One of ours got run over 2 1/2 years ago. He was still warm when people called me up. I cried my eyes out for 2 days, the kids were a bit sad. They deal much better with these things I find.

Cate in NZ Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Just to add my commiserations too Sarah, pets become such a big part of the family it's simply devastating when they die, especially when it's such an abrupt ending . I hope the girls were OK when you had to break the news. Dreadful day, I'd recommend feet up and a glass of wine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
