Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I guess I just needed to vent. This is my first post. I had a stray cat that randomly came up about a year ago. He wouldnt leave, and so I fed him because i felt bad for him. That ended up being a great buddy for about a year, until he was killed by some dogs. I lost a buddy that never once told me anything i didnt want to hear, he never once let me down. I was completely tore up over it. Well a few months later a friend gave me 2 kittens that were about 8 weeks old, a brother and sister. Ive raised those two as if they were my children. Awesome cats that did most everything together. Well, the sister cat ended up pregnant by a neighbors cat. A few nights ago with her brother/best friend by her side, she had four kittens. I was happy, and both of them seemed to be happy. Not long after she had the last kitten, i took the brother outside with me as i always do. These cats never get near the road. I walk inside for literally 20 seconds to grab my drink. When i walk back out, i could hear a car coming down the road. As soon as i get off the porch, i heard a thud. Even though they never get near the road, i knew exactly what it was. The brother cat/my great buddy was killed instantly. And ive been tore up over him. But whats even worse now, is the fact that my other great buddy has 4 kittens in there, and she seems to be a great mother, but i can tell she is depressed because the same night she had her first kittens, her best friend was killed. And it sucks because not only did i lose a buddy, but i have to wonder how my other buddys dealing with the emotions of new babies and losing her brother. Anyway, i just needed to say all of that to maybe help myself, i dont know. Thanks for listening.
