He was a very loving animal, we took him from a rescue home into our lives and loved him for the best part of 11 years. May his soul rest in peace ;o( Lucy |

Hamm's kitten Pansie went the same way a few months back - and the only consolation is to think of the happy life they led & the freedom they enjoyed to be cattish. A cat you keep indoors won't get run over, but I think they enjoy a full life (with all its risks) a lot more. |

I know we've discussed this before, but since you've mentioned the method of his demise, I have to add: my indoor cats, who have an outdoor run, say they are perfectly happy and safe, as all of ours have been over the past 20 years. I'd no more let them run loose, near the roads, than I would a child. kat |

But always sad to hear of someone's loss. Thoughts and prayers for you, Lucy and farewell Marmaduke... And somewhere near you, another kitten is looking for you, so take heart. |

My three gals have been inside for almost all of their 14 years, and they're just fine with that. There's plenty for them to get into indoors and on the screened porch. And now that they're "elderly ladies", they're content with just napping in the sun. I second kat's sentiments. |

Our animals are so much part of our family. However our 2 sons did not wake us at 5am by playing chasings across our bed..... Cheers and hugs JennieG |
