My cat

I'm sorry about your kitty. She was so young. I will be thinking about you.

Hugs! Shannon

Oh Jane I'm so sorry to hear this. Take care and know we are here.

Ahh Jane I totally understand. It doesn't take long to build a bond with a pet that is so similar to that of one with a child. I'm so sorry to hear your news. Give yourself time to grieve and don't feel one bit guilty about it. Bailey was your furbaby and you loved her.

Best Wishes, Lynne

It isn't just a cat, its your cat and you loved it. Thoughts and prayers going your way,

I totally understand your heartache. My sympathies are with you, and I am sending healing hugs to you. Arleen

Oh Jane, I'm so sorry this happened. Don't feel guilty. You gave her a loving home for the short time she was with you. Give yourself time to grieve and know that we're here if you need us.

I'm so sorry to hear this Jane. My cat loves to be outside too and I worry about traffic every time he's out. Fortunately I'm the last house on a block long cul-de-sac that gets very little traffic. Do you have any pics? Maybe you could do a memorial page once you're feeling up to it.

I am thinking of finishing her album with the Rainbow Bridge poem and some of my favourite pictures of her.

I too live in a cul-de-sac that backs on to fields etc and the speed limits all around us are 30km an hour. I am still trying to work out in my head how someone could have been turning a corner fast enough to hit a cat in daylight. :( I always assumed Bailey would be safe living where we live.

Hug your cat tightly from me tonight :(

Thank you for your thoughts.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts. I am doing a little better this afternoon. Trying to keep busy and not think about things too much. I appreciate everyons thoughts.

A few weeks ago, I probably would not have understood. Recently my family adopted two kitties From the Human Society. This, after years of protest from me. Finally I gave in and we brought these two kittens home.(brothers) I can't believe what a big part of the family they have become. I never knew I could care so much for a pet and they are so loveable. I mean I really do feel like they are my kids. Now I know what people mean when they say their pets are their kids.

So Jane, I'm so sorry about your cat. I'm sure Bailey knew how much you loved her and cared for her. Remember the good times you had with her and please try not to feel guilty, this was out of your control.

Jane, I am so sorry about your dear Ginger. I know just how you feel. We have a dear old cat that will not be with us much longer and I find myself already mourning for this. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that soon you will find room in your heart for another little one.

a good friend is a life long treasure

Jane, I'm sorry to hear that your Bailey was killed. There is no such thing as just a cat, dog or any pet. They are a very important parts of our families. Just remember the good times with her, I'm sure she knew you'd be there if you could. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Hi, Jane.

I am so sorry about your loss of Bailey. I totally understand. They become parts of the family and are dearly missed when they are gone. Lots of Hugs!

Jane, I am so sorry for your loss. Don't feel guilty, she knew she was loved by you, that's what matters. Big hugs to you.

oh thats so sad Jane. I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. Michelle

Jane -

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It is always difficult to lose a pet, and especially so pre-maturely.

I think the only folks who can't understand are those who've never bonded with a pet.

Oh Jane, I'm so sorry! I also lost my furbabby the 7th October and know exactly how you feel. And no, of course she was much more than just a cat to you! I was in a daze for days on end and now still get times when the tears just come back. For instance, today when I went to buy food for my other kitties, I saw a specific brand that Tammy loved and there in the isle of the grocery store I got all emotional again.

Hold on to that wonderful memories. Bailey knew how much you loved her.

Lotsa hugs

car yesterday and killed. I am in such a mess over this. I know it;s 'just a cat'

{{{Jane}}} Never "just a cat" in my book. We're fellow living, breathing creatures able of giving & receiving love.

I definitely do.
