A gloomy Sunday

 This Sunday didn't start as a bad one, although I've been having a weird feeling all week... It soon turned into an awful day that I want to forget as soon as possible.... Our kitty was just found dead.... 


 That's him playing with a log a couple of nights ago... I can't believe we've lost him. 
 George went for a walk with Billy (our dog) and when he came back I knew something terribly wrong had happened. He was pale and told me the bad news. He saw Cartman dead in the middle of the street, hit by a car.... Cartman was the kitty's name as you have guessed: he was the only male in the pack, the youngest, funniest and the one we both raised from a stray kitty.
 His life was short, but full of happy moments. He was a fighter and that was established as soon as he ran out of a garbage bin and followed George and Billy home! Animals have such an instinct for good people. And he found good people and a good company and he lived his short life with us....


 And now we have to go on like nothing big happened and to live knowing that he won't be sleeping on his pillow, he's not gonna play finger-football again (he would grab our hands and kick with his back feet... awesome!), he's not gonna stalk us again when we open the door and he's not gonna talk to us again... (yeah... he was a talking cat!). We also have to live knowing that in this country nobody gets punished for driving with over 90 km/hour in a quiet narrow street resulting dead cats or kids..... and causing all that pain to others...


 We' ve both been crying for a while... so I guess this post is for closure and I'm sorry I'm blackening yet another weekend...

So long little fellow.
Rest in peace. We loved you a lot...
Thanks for loving us back no matter what....

+Billy+Dina+Sporitsa (the rest of our family)

    Omg I am so very sorry, I too lost a beloved cat about two months ago and it was so hard. I am praying for you. It is really hard to lose a pet.
    Big Hug, Anne

    That's a terrible loss, especially coming unexpected. I'm sorry Cartman's life was cut short.

    I'm so sorry for your loss! Cats are special beings, if any animal has a soul it's the cat. I venture that might be a consoling thought... don't know.

    Dimitra- I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I am a cat lover so I can imagine what you're going through. My condolences- sometimes writing down our grievances and sharing them makes the healing process easier.

    So sorry to hear your news. I found your blog through Shybiker and wanted to come by and say how sad this makes me. At least Cartman had a happy time with you and the family. I will be thinking of you.

    My thoughts are with you and your family. I'm one of ShyBiker's buddies. I had to visit when I read the sad news. Pets are such a huge part of our families. I'm sure he'll be missed. It sounds like you gave him a happy life. He'll be waiting to greet you again one day.

And I'm sorry I'm meeting you, under those circumstances... I'm still impressed and touched by your kindness! Thank you a million times...

    That is so sad! I'm so sorry! I've lost a couple of pets myself and I know exactly how you feel. it's a terrible feeling and only people that have lived with animals can really understand how amazing they are and that they are IN FACT members of our families!

    Wow. This sucks. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how painful it is to lose a pet. We love them and protect them but we can't protect them from irresponsible drivers.

    Ugh. Sending you tons of love and healing.

    xoxo,
    Tracy

    Oh Honey!! I'm sooo sorry for your loss, as a fellow cat lover who has loved and lost I know that heartache all too well! Our furbabies give us so much, I like to say my ferals have rescued me, not the other way around. I hope you pain eases soon, and know that you made your cat's life better by being momma!

    Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry. It's obvious you loved your dear kitty so much - I am crying here at my keyboard for your loss. I will give my kitty extra hugs tonight and tell him that he will have a friend in cat heaven when it's his time.

    *hug*

    I did Sheila... and I'm quite difficult when it comes to bonding... Thank you so much for the support. And yes, give Inigo all your love and attention... Sometimes we take things for granted and that's when shit happens...
