Hi all,
I just need to get this all out as I'm having a pretty terrible day and have no one irl to talk to.
I couldn't find my cat when I came home from work and I hadn't seen him this morning. He's an outdoor/indoor cat as I have a smallholding with chickens etc and he keeps the rats/mice down. I live quite near a main road and I had an awful feeling, so I went to check. I found my poor baby on the road and, not to be graphic, but I had to ID him from his collar/tail. I am absolutely devastated. He was only 4, and was the loveliest cat I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I don't really know why I'm posting this, but I just needed to share.
Edit: Thank you all so much for your support, I really appreciate it. I'm really touched that so many people have reached out, it makes a hard experience less awful.
