RIP Gabby


She's gone. My kitten, my shadow, my baby. She was hit by a car this morning.
She wasn't waiting for me to get up, she wasn't begging for tuna, and didn't come when I called. I knew something was wrong. I opened the front door because sometimes she got stuck out front and there she was in the road. I screamed but there was nothing to be done. She had been dead for a few hours it seemed.
I'm heartbroken. She was my loud, curious kitten. She was afraid of cars and the road so I have no idea why she was out there. Pumpkin is waiting for her pal to come play. She's looking for her friend.
It all happened this morning. We took her to the vet to get cremated. It's only been a few hours. I can't stop crying right now. This was my baby. She was MY cat. She followed me around and not the boy.
I miss her so much. I just want my loud, crazy kitten to come running up to me now.

As I said at BP, I ache for you.
That photo perfectly illustrates just how precious little Gabby was.
I hope the boy doesn't beat himself up too much about this. These things just happen sometimes and it is nobody's fault.

OH NO! I am so sad for you. How scary, and how horrible for the scariest thing to have happened.

She was a much-loved kitty, and I bet she knew it every day of her life.

*hugs*
love,

I tripped up on your site looking for something else. I can tell the way you wrote this that your kitty meant a lot to you. I am sorry for your loss.
