So sorry to hear this! 'Cats leave their pawprints on your heart'

When I had a cat as a kitten, or when she or her daughter had kittens I had to teach them to stay away from cars and roads. Not going into details here (some may think it a cruel lesson and perhaps it is, but have had to be cruel to be kind) but not one of them came to grief with a car.

I agree, cats are wanderers and we love them for that!
