A lot of the fun went out of my life this morning. One of our cats was killed by a hit-and-run driver last night sometime. I had tried earlier in the evening to get her in, but she was enjoying the outdoors too much. When I was leaving for work this morning I found her dead in the street in front of our house.

She'd been with us only a year, after being rescued from the pound with her sister at 3 months old. She was as nice a pet as you could ask for - affectionate, playful, polite. Her sister, and our whole family, are going to miss her.

I don't blame the driver for hitting her. I do blame him/her for not stopping. Please, everybody, drive carefully when you're in someone's neighborhood. And if you should happen to hit a pet, stop and see if you can find the owner. They most likely won't blame you for the accident, and they will feel better knowing about it first hand.

Thanks for listening, everybody. And take care when you're driving.
 
I'm very sorry to hear about that, neon_duke. I've never had a pet die, but I know that they can become as close as any other member of the family. :(
 
One of the first birds that I had when I was a young boy, was sitting on my mothers shoulder. SHe got into an argument with my brother, and walked out the back door in a whirlwind. Pete needed no suggestions. Off like a shot, never to be seen again.

I know how you feel. Hope the kids are doing OK with it.

Best wishes
TIll later,
AO
 
yeah sorry about that man....i also had a pet die after only a year....yet to this day....we still remember all the good times we had with him
 
i dont want to sound harsh, but that's why my cats are indoor only cats.

sorry to hear about your cat, its always tough.
 
Thanks very much for the sympathy and support, you guys. It means a lot. We'll always miss her; she had a lot of personality.
 
Sorry about that. :( I've lost 4 pets, so I definitely know how much it hurts.
 
damn! that sucks! but i know just how u feel.and i hold grudges too(not that proud of it) and to this day i hate that sorry lousy SOB that ran over my poor little "Taz" he was an old cat too so he couldnt get out of the way fast enough.and then some asshole came and poisened my other cat.i truley feel sorry for you.

Sorry to hear that neon_duke. The worst part about having a pet is when you lose it.:(

Not so. My dog has already cost me about $940 in various injuries or property damage, and I've had her for a year next week.

Sorry, neon_duke - I lost a pet myself about a year and a half ago, and it was rather traumatic. :(
