The Vet initially thought she had been hit by a car. She was covered in bruises and coughing up blood. After finding out she was an inside cat they deduced that she probably chewed on a wire and was electrocuted.

Oh I am so sorry for both of you. It must’ve been terrible to find her so terribly injured, and to make the desperate run to the vet, and then she couldn’t be saved. At least they could make her passing less painful. Some cats are just so determined to do dangerous things, especially chewing/eating things they shouldn’t, that there’s no stopping them. Sounds like she had a fierce independent spirit in her little body. Now it’s gone, but you’ll see flashes of it out in the world, and feel its warmth deep in your heart. Take your time to recover. But also know that if another cat comes into the empty place in your life, her claim on you will be undiminished.

That is terrible! But it is not your fault.
Accidents happen.My second cat was hit by a car in the night, after i shooed him away from me because i wanted to sleep and he wanted to play. It took a while to stop thinking that if only i had played with him a bit, he would not have gone out, and get hit by a car.
But that is not how the world works. Accidents happen. you cannot blame yourself and definitely cannot make the world perfectly safe.

Ooph, that’s hard to hear
Feel hugged, that’s a tough one
Not sure, what else I can say, because there isn’t much.
I’m just really sorry for you - 14 days
Im so sorry. This is a fear I’ve had for a while now. You can’t hide every cord, ya just hope they don’t chew on them. Rest in peace to your beautiful kitty💕🌈❤️💕
Oh honey - I’m so sorry. That explains why she looks so young in all the pictures - it’s because she was.
We lost both of ours and both dogs over the course of about a year and a half. They were every one of them old, and it was still absolutely crushing every time. To lose one so young, and to such a trauma indoors where we assume they’re going to be safe - the heartbreak and shock together must be absolutely heartbreaking.
I’m so sorry

Grieve. Feel it. That’s love. It hurts and it’s heavy, but that’s just the cost of them moving from a physical reality to one of memory and emotion. Don’t shut it out - mitigate it if you have to, bit by bit. But grief, to me, has never been about those you love leaving, that’s just them knocking at your heart’s door, asking to be let in.

I’m so sorry, that’s heartbreaking. Cats are experts at getting into and doing things they shouldn’t, even when you take steps to keep them safe. Remember that she spent her time with you loved.

Yeah, even the smartest cats are only about as smart is a 3 year old. And anyone who has ever watched a 3 year old knows that they’re constantly attempting to kill themselves. The issue is that cats have the physical capacity to get into way more dangerous scenarios, because they can easily jump, climb, and squeeze into places that a 3 year old wouldn’t be able to. So even if you have toddler-proofed your house, (which is a massive task by itself) there are still plenty of things that a cat can get into.

I don’t know you but I know what you’re feeling right now. I lost my Orange Boy just a few weeks ago and even this weekend I still felt it. I wish I could share more comfort with you, fellow person. I can share this quote by Kate Braestrup that comforts me in times of loss:
Grief is just love squaring up to its oldest mortal enemy. After all these mortal human years, love is up to the challenge..
As bad as that feeling is right now, it means V mattered and was loved.

I’m very sorry. Shit like this happens and there’s often nothing you can do.
15 daysI’m so sorry for you.
Give yourself a while to grieve, and maybe think about getting another cat to care for - that is the only thing that was able to make me think less about the loss of a beloved companion and keep me in the present where there is someone who needs your attention and affection.
Her ears are so big! 🖤🤍
If you’re crying for her, you won’t be alone in that tonight

Apparently there’s words for a flock of cats. But personally, I call my current and future cat family, my continuity of cats.
This is the way.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
she will always be alive in your heart and memory, don’t forget that.
and remember that there are many cats that need help and a home, maybe some day in the future, you can help one.
