I have been taking a break over Christmas and New Year because my emet has been bad and the sv* talk has made things worse. But I had to come back on and tell you that my lovely cat Toby was killed yesterday. He was about to cross the road and was looking out from between some parked cars when a speeding taxi struck him from behind. (there were several eyewitnesses) I doubt if the driver even noticed.


I am devastated. He was the sweetest-natured, most affectionate cat in the world and we loved him so much. He was twelve, and I hoped we'd have him for a few years yet. My other cat hasn't really noticed yet and I am dreading when she does. I can't get the image out of my head of him lying on the road. His injuries were dreadful. Thank god my son never saw him. I feel like I'm stuck in a nightmare. Thanks for reading & letting me vent.
