Yesterday, I was watching Wheelie, our second cat, as she skulked around outside the neighbor's house across the street. They have a cat that is about the same age and coloring as Wheelie and I know they have met before (the neighbor said that Wheelie has mad herself at home inside!) but I've never seen them interact.
They never did see each other and when Wheelie decided to dart back home, I was horrified to see her get run over by the only car I saw in two hours. I'm sure I saw both front wheels hit her tiny body, but she got up and ran under the porch (her safe place) like she was just fine.
I yelled to Hubby and he went to find her. After quite a few minutes, Hubby ended up prying some boards off to drag her out. When he brought her into the house, I knew something terrible was wrong.
My brave Hubby called the vet and took her in, only to find that she had too many internal problems to survive.
We only got her in January (click here for her introduction and here for some pictures) but I think we gave her a good home for that short time.
Rest in peace, Wheelie.

I am so sorry about you cat. It is sad to loose a pet.
Oh I'm so sorry. :( I'm sure Wheelie was very blessed and appreciative of the good home you gave her.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Wheelie was certainly a beautiful cat.
Oh that is terrible to have lost a pet and also witness the accident. My sympathy to you all.
That's very sad. And to know that you "saw" it happen... well, I don't know how I would have handled it. However, it allowed you to get Wheelie from under the porch and comfort her at the end of her life.
