I can't believe I'm posting this but my beautiful Spycat passed over Rainbow Bridge this morning. I am still shocked. He was only 8 and I was expecting him home for his breakfast this morning. Someone must have hit him with their car and thankfully someone moved him to the grass verge at the end of our road in. I would never have known what happened to him if it hadn't been for my friend seeing a post on Facebook about it. My poor beautiful boy, he was so pretty and such a friendly soul. I cannot believe he will never come and bump heads with me again. He was born here. We will miss him so much. How can an ordinary day turn so bad😢Run free now mouser - go find Flatcat, Mini Mack and Monster.xxxx
 
I am so sorry. We know what it is like. Our most beautiful and formerly feral tabby died like that and the neighbour rang our door bell and moved him out of the road. We never got another cat which I regret.
 
Thank you all. @Jane&Ziggy I was so shocked because we are a long way off the main road and in 9 years of living here none of ours has ever gone onto it. It feels so awful without him, even though I have the others, the yard feels empty. We are going to bury him next to Flatcat. My only consolation is having him to bury, it would have been awful not knowing either way what had happened to him. He was neutered too, so not the sort to wander a long way either. I guess it was just his time and he was unlucky this morning. I just came home from shopping and it feels so sad him not waiting to greet me knowing I'd got his favourite food:(. His mother, brother and sister will wonder where he is too. I've just fed them but it felt so sad without him chirping for his food.
 
Blame me. I seem to have a death aura around me again. I went to someone this morning and there cousin had passed a couple if weeks ago. Now another relative and there next door neighbour. Some one else i worked for passed 10 days before my mum.
I feel your emptiness though. Ive kept really busy but over the weekend it hit me in the morning and later in the day when it was quiet. I keep getting awful visions.
 
Thanks all. Seemed so quiet feeding the others this morning despite them being their usual bouncy noisy selves! When I walked down to Storms paddock it felt quiet too as Spy liked to lay in the grass and if he knew I was there he'd intermittently meow just to let me know he was in there. @chunky monkey I feel so very sorry for you, you've had a really rubbish time lately. I can only say I hope you are going to get a little more horse time when you can and that you are taking care of you, its easy to not bother eating properly etc when you're upset. xxx

It is sad when they are young and should have many more happy years ahead of them isn't it. It's never easy losing any of them, but with him being in his prime it was more of a shock. When Flatcat and Monster died it wasn't as they were oldies. (Still sad of course).

we lost one age 18 months years ago liver failure little Squirtle. My old Tabitha is in the final stages of renal failure, somewhat incontinent but still purring, head butting eating and sleeping. when she starts being sick i will call it but at the moment she is holding on, She is using the sofa as a loo so it will go when she goes and have put pads down and have to launder the duvet couple of times a week but so be it. She is still managing. Lucy was a rta age 18 months so all our cats are indoors now. We lost our 2 brothers but they were 18, within six months of each other. Sam the vets exploited the situation and ran up £1200 when his bloods showed, on the day he was pts he was seen by another vet, that he was totally hopeless. The vet questioned why on earth he was being treated given his results were off the richter scale....I had his brother blood tested and it showed a bit of renal issues, so put him on a special renal food and he stopped eating, and started being sick, we called it, no treatment other than being on a renal diet. Sam was on drips for days, all totally pointless so made a decision then that renal food and let them go when they stop eating. It is hard when they are young the romanian cats seem to be prone to it, Peter and Darcey went very suddenly from being happy and healthy to gone.
