Very sadly on Tuesday morning my darling beautiful cat Pippa died. She was only 9 years old. She had gone outside after her breakfast about 8:25am I went upstairs with my coffee as usual. Made a quick call and probably a few mins later opened my curtain to open the window and saw her lying next to the footpath. My brain realised she would never lay there. I downstairs and outside and when I reached her knew straight away she was gone. She had been hit by a car. A neighbour passing walking his very sweet dogs was lovely and stayed with me and then went to get my mum from the house.
We brought her inside gently covered in a towel and lay her in her bed. We were all totally heartbroken and in shock. Our vets were lovely when I rang and a little while later we brought Pippa down to them. They were very sensitive and kind especially amid all the covid protocols.
I decided to opt for getting her ashes back and they will organise this and they will be placed in a little box with her name on it.
The girl who had knocked her down did call to our house maybe 20mins after I found her. She was pretty young and very upset and sorry, I presume she got a fright and panicked. It gave me a bit of closure to know what had happened and that she was sorry.
Pippa was such an amazing cat, my fluffy baby and best friend. A real little character who captured all our hearts and was a huge part of our lives. We miss her so much, there have been a lot of tears. I was so lucky to have her choose me.
All my friends at the yard have been so understanding and its helped, animal people get how I feel. Penny has been a welcome distraction to keep me busy and she is happy to be hugged and snuggled.
All I want is my sweet little fluffy angel back, but I know that can't be which is so hard.
