We lost our beloved Holly who was hit by a car.
She was the most amazing, best cat I’ll ever have and we only had her for 3 years.
Hubby and I almost had 2 nervous breakdowns when she died, and no I’m not kidding and we’d both suffered some big losses in our lives.
But I will say this, that cat never would have been happy staying inside, she lived to go out.
We’ll never know how many close calls she had.
But what I do know is I could cry right now thinking about her.
Now we have 2 sweet but stupid cats. Our house was lifted after hurricane Sandy so we let them go out on the new, second story deck. One has run off a couple of times, and come back; the other one is afraid of her own shadow so she’d never risk taking off. They are basically indoor cats, we don’t let them out without supervision.
That’s my suburban story; when I lived in the big city the cats always stayed inside.
RIP wonderful Holly, not a day goes by that we don’t miss you sooooooo much.

We can identify after having to euthanize our 2-1/2-year-old “Duke” two weeks ago who began to suffer frequent seizures starting in April. We’ve had (and have) a lot of cats, but he was the absolute sweetest and most beautiful. I’m ashamed to say I cry more about losing him than I did after the deaths of my brother and father combined.
All of our cats are 100% indoor Even the ferals that we’ve brought in and tamed figure they’re much better off now than before and don’t even attempt to escape.
