I'm So Glad I Keep My Girls Inside

The girls' Mommy here.  I just had to make a little post after today. 

As I was just about to arrive at my parents house I saw something in the road.  Because it is a not very busy residential road, I moved to the other side with my vehicle.  As I pass by I notice it is a cat laying in the road.  After I park I quickly go inside to get something to pick the cat up and run back outside.  I run back to the road to find a handsome brown tabby with a black collar.  I can tell as I pick him up, he's been dead for a while.  He had a collar, but the only thing on it is a tag that says, "I'm an Iams cat."  I ask my parents and some of their neighbors if they know who he belongs to, and no one knows.  My parents are going to have the cat scanned for a chip if they can't find it's owner. 

I came home and hugged my Lily tight.  I told her I loved her so much and about the cat I found.  He obviously had an owner.  I'm so glad I decided to keep my girls in.  I cried enough tears for a cat I didn't even know.

  1. That is so sad. We hope the owners can be found....but that doesn't help that poor kitty. We're inside cats too...and plan to stay that way.

  2. awwww. Poor little fellow. It makes me even sadder what his little tag said. I don't know why, but that seems so poignant. :(

  3. Oh that's so sad. And a very good reason to keep kitties safely confined. I'm hugging my kitties too!

  6. That is so sad. Hope the owner was found so they can have closure. How sweet of you to care enough to look for them.

    Happy Gotcha Day, Lily.

  7. That is so sad. I hope the owner can be found. I keep all my cats inside unless they are on their leashes. Happy Birthday, Lily Le Mew.

  9. I've picked a few kitties up off the road, so I so feel for you. Purrs for the kitty that it didn't suffer, and for the owners who loved it. Hopefully they learn and keep the next one in.
