hi everybody,
my 9 month old black Persian kitten called thunder got run over on the 30th of January this year. i found out when i came home from school that day to find both my mum and dad looking really upset. i immediately knew something was wrong so i asked and my mum said it’s bad, it’s really bad. all that ran through my mind was thunder, something had happened to him. i then noticed there was a bag on the table and it had something in it. it turned out to be his collar. with the collar ther was a not which said:
dear owner, i am really sorry to say that i got a call from my neighbour saying that there was a cat that had been run over on my street as she had been looking for hers that was currently nursing kittens. she went over to have a look but it wasnt hers. she noticed the collar and saw that there was a mobile number on it but she couldnt get through to me. she cut off the collar and put it in a bag and brought it to our house and posted it through the letter box. she would of brought him back to us but he was very squashed so she called the council to take him away as she didnt want him to get run over anymore.
i think this was really sweet and not many people would do that and it would take someone with a really big heart. but what i cant get over is that i didn’t see him and my last words to him were be quiet. if i had seen him then maybe i would be able to accept it a bit better but i didn’t so its hard for me. i am nearly over him now but it still hurts to think about him. i miss him very much and really wish it had never have happened. we have another cat that is 11 years old and i know she still misses him even though she tries not to show it when she goes outside she is gone for hours looking for him.
so what i really want to know is should i still be grieving for him 2 months later and i really feel like i want another cat but i don’t wanna replace him if you know what i mean.
