My 9 Month old kitten was run over 3 weeks ago and killed out right. Although he had only been with us for a short time he filled the house with his cheek and mischief, always bringing us his latest catch (usually one of my daughters stuffed toys) or shouting for one of us to give him cuddles. I feel my friends and family expect me to be moving on from this by now but i still cant stop crying. My older cat wont settle and is constantly wandering the house at night looking for him and my 6 year old daughter misses him like mad. I have been reading other threads and finding comfort that other people are feeling the same as me, but cant seem to shake the guilt that could i have done anything to prevent this and the hurt at the hole this has left in our family.

Oh, how sad. That must have been awful for you. My heart goes out to you and your little girl. I know how i would feel if my baby girl, Ashley, who is 1-1/2 yrs, got killed. Most of our cats are house cats but Ashley is definitely an outside cat. Just grieve as much as you need to. It's ok, as they are not just animals to us pet lovers. Take care and God bless.
RE: heartbroken household.
So sorry to read what happened to your kitten, Lesley. It is a horrible thing to happen (I have been through it too). They are part of the family and we love them as if they are family. Don't worry if your friends and family feel you should be moving on from this, they didn't love him like you did and it hurts to lose a pet that you loved. Just hope you will soon be feeling better about it, I really don't think you could have done anything to prevent this from happening, cats are so free spirited. Just remember what a happy life he had with you the short time that he lived, he was much luckier than some. Best wishes xx

Thank you both for the kind thoughts. it really does help to know other people can empathise and to speak to people going through the same thing.
