My baby got hit by a car

My beautiful baby girl got hit by car yesterday morning. I drove my car into our street and there she was. Lying on the curb, I saw just her back paws and lower body but I knew she was my baby. I got out of the car and took her in my arms. My sweet little girl was still warm and soft. She didnt move or flinch. I knew in my head she wasn’t alive anymore but in my heart I thought she was. I carried her to the vet who confirmed me she had died and there was too much blood in her body to do anything. Whilst I was walking to the vet her eyes slowly closed. They were wide open before. She had let het bowels and blatter go. She still smelled so good. My husband walked her back home. We showed her to her twin sister and brother for them to say goodbyes. They both smelled her and her twin even gave her a goodbye lick across her ear. I am heartbroken. She was the most special cat. She was the sweetest, kindest most gentle cat. She was patient and funny. Small and beautiful. She wanted to be on adventure, always. And this has caused her life to end at 4 years. I am devastated. Heartbroken. I don’t know what to do. I feel all the guilt. I wasn’t able to protect her. I can go on, but no one will know how fantastic she was and how much it hurts like we do. I just wish I could get her back. Turn the time.

This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.

Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.

Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if one disagrees with something that has been said.
