Hi All,
Not sure what I'm expecting anyone can say to me but I just need to let it out somewhere that I know people will understand.
I lost my cat Amber on Saturday. She had been run over by a car. My neighbour rang my door bell to let me know the bad news.
My husband tried to hold me back from seeing her but I felt I needed to just run to her in that moment. But I can't get the images of her out of my head. I wish I hadn't seen her like that but I just needed to be with her.
She is now buried in a lovely spot in our garden but I just can't get my head around the fact that she's no longer here.
I have two young children and I'm really struggling to hold it together and not cry in front of them but I think I have actually cried for a good 48 hours now.
Amber was only 2 years old. I feel so robbed of her.
And I feel like I'm to blame. I usually keep her in overnight apart from the odd occasion where she just wouldn't come in because she was having too much fun hunting/playing in the garden. And that was one of those nights. I've left her out on a couple of occasions when she wouldn't come back in and all had been fine as she's not a roamer and just liked to guard the garden.
I think on this occasion she was chased by another cat and she just got scared and bolted and went in the direction of the busy road.
She never ever used to roam, only ever stayed in our garden or next doors. She would never have naturally gone towards that road without a reason, and I feel its my fault for not staying up later and making sure she had come back in for the night.
I loved her so much, I feel so guilty and in so much pain. I just desperately need her back.
Thanks for listening xx
