Lost our little snuggler yesterday

10 years old, hit by a car. More unfortunately, it was the morning I had to go out of town, so only found out when the neighbour rang the doorbell (luckily? a video doorbell).

I'm so sorry. Rest in Peace, little snuggler. 🕊
Because our cats are indoor/outdoor. There’s a big paddock and hill with bush behind our property, but no, he had to go nosying out the other side. Our other cat is happy enough staying with the dog (stealing her bed) outside. He didn’t normally wander much, but the warmer weather must have made him restless.

  They JUST lost their cat. Don’t be a dick.
That was our boy Riggs.
So sorry! I know the hurt that comes from this.
Years ago, I was running late for a job interview. He was sleeping under my car, and…..
Words will never express the heartbreak that is borne from the loss of a cherished pet. Go easy on yourself through this, and allow it to take as long as it takes.

My condolences
Sad to hear.
Condolences.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
😢

My condolences, how sad...
What was their name?
- From a post above, their name was Riggs
I'm so sorry
Very sorry to hear this.
~~Can I ask why he was outside? This common story never gets less sad and sadly never gets less common~~
How did the car get in your house, you should sue for gross negligence and wrongful death as well as costs to repair the structural damage
I'll take the downvotes if it helps one person do the opposite
- I can’t say why OP let their cat out. But from my mother’s perspective “they’re explorer, why would I limit their expedition to a 4 walled prison.”
  I personally don’t agree, but you can’t force people to keep them inside shrug
  I hope OP’s other babes will be okay.
  
  We can force people to keep their dogs inside or on leash.
  I love cats but idk why they “should” get a free pass to roam, especially if you want it to not get hit by a car or killed by another larger animal, or kill countless other smaller animals.
  Be responsible.
- We've created cars and put them in the middle of nature.
  (True, we also fed cats and still let them enjoy hunting, but that's another human hubris sin.)
  
  If people love their cats and want to keep them safe, its just not an option. This is not a discussion or debate unfortunately, it really is that simple. Rip kitty :(
  This is about unsupervised outside
- Can I ask what even is the point of asking?
  
  So that they can use someone else's misfortune to make themselves feel morally superior.
10 years old, hit by car.
Owners fault
My sympathy for the cat.
