Hi, our little cat Maizie was run over last night, she didn't make it, I'm devastated, I just don't know what to do with myself or how to handle it :(

I'm so sorry to hear that R.I.P Maizie xxx It is very difficult when you lose a pet and especially when it happens suddenly i Lost my dog nearly three months ago after he was attacked by a pitbull. All you can do is take a day at a time cry when you need to try to talk to others about how you feel and remember the good things that you shared together but its not a easy journey i believe are pets live on and never are far away but that dosn't make it any easier that we want them here with us now and miss them so much it hurts. After each of my three dogs who have passed over the last three years not long after i found feathers in the house and on mat right outside my front door i believe it was they way of letting me know their ok now i hope you get a sign and find comfort. Sending you a (((hug))) xx

thanks Lisa, I feel so much guilt because I wasnt there, she has been living with our mum in law with our other cat since April, we were living there too, but moved back into a place of our own after 6 months, we werent allowed pets so left them with mum - she was happy to take care of them for us. She lives 20 miles away so I couldnt be there. I hadnt even seen her for a week. I was there when she was bon but couldnt be there for her when she left the world, I know it happened really quickly but all i can think of is that she was frightened and in pain and I wasnt there. She was only 16 months old and really tiny for her age - her mum was the same, the car was speeding and didnt even stop, hit her front on and wrecked her from the diagphragm up. I knew leaving her there was a bad idea and that one day that road would get her. I feel so guilty for making such a selfish decision and feel like she might still be here if we had moved somewhere where we could take her.
She was the happiest little cat in the world, she had so much love to give, and saw the good in everyone, even though today has probably been the hottest day so far, I feel like all the sun has been sucked out of my life. I only saw her once a week if that since April, i should have spent more time with her and now I cant spend any at all. I feel totally devastated x

I understand your guilt Claire i beat myself up to but if we would have known what would have happened we would of changed it and the reality is as you know we now carn't and thats a horrible feeling. The person speeding is to blame and they have no consience not to have stopped. It is very sad that Maizie was so young my heart goes out to you. Try not to blame yourself about leaving her with your mum somtimes circumstances are out of our control and you made the best decision that you could at the time. Thinking of you xxx

I ONLY WANTED YOU


They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Hope the above poem brings you some comfort its one of a few that iv'e come across xxx

Thank you Lisa that is so sweet, i love the poem thank you, surprisingly I am not angry with the person who didnt stop, i'm just overcome with sorrow, I think I'd be more angry had no one seen her and been able to take care of her. I posted a card through the neighbours door to thank them for looking after her and taking her and mum in law to the vets. I have written my own poem about Maizie which is on the memorial page - it poured out of my heart at the time and I think it sums her up and my feelings perfectly, thank you for your support, it means a lot :) xxx
