Our cat died....

[gamevet]

I'm opening the window to my office and I notice something furry on the lawn. I go outside to check it out and find the rear section of my cat.

The last time I had saw her was on Saturday evening and I noticed she wasn't around the house on Sunday. We have 2 dogs as well, so I thought maybe the cat was just hiding out, as she likes to do.

Two years ago, she figured out how to use the doggy door, to the fenced back yard and later started climbing under the fence. She never went far and if I spotted her outside the yard, she quickly go back under the fence.

We really don't know what happened to her. Was she hit by a car and her last steps were running back towards the yard, or was she attacked by some critter?

I feel bad that we didn't find her sooner. RIP Angel...it was a good 5 years.

Eeeew. What a way to go. Sorry to hear, man.

Sucks man. You get closer to your pets than you think.

My condolences on your loss Vet. As an animal lover I understand how hard it is to lose one.

man that really sucks I'm sorry to hear that.

God that's an awful way to find a pet. My one slightly retarded (actual, not an exaggeration) cat ran away I thought of some sad things happening to her since she didn't know to stay off of streets, but damn...

I'm so sorry.

Half of her? what the hell? You'd think if another animal attacked her it would have taken the whole thing, not just eaten half. Got any psycho, quiet neighbors?

Sorry man, that is odd though..

She wasn't a dumb cat by any means. That's why I find it hard to believe she was hit by a car. She'd play fetch with a bottle cap and actually return with it and drop it in my lap. She seemed to fear the sound of a car and when I would come down the alley, she'd quickly get off the street. She had figured out the doggy door, within days of it being installed.

I'm thinking she was attacked by some kind of animal. She was de-clawed and we didn't have a doggy door back when we got her. I just feel bad, if that was the case, as she would have been pretty much defenseless.

I've had a cat that got run over in the past, but this one is more of a shock, because the traffic situation is nothing like what my other cat had.

You let a de-clawed cat outside?
