Cat Friends,
I am devastated with the loss of my beloved cat Hugo. I had to bury my best friend last night after he was hit by a car. Unfortunately, when Hugo spotted another cat he became singularly focused and had to immediately go over to it. I know cat lovers always post comments about keeping cats indoors, but both my cats had been in/outdoor cats when I got them and they would have been depressed and miserable if deprived of their yard, sunshine, bugs, and mouse catching. My boys would come in every night and sleep curled up on either side of me.
I found Hugo at the animal shelter a year ago after he had wandered off from his previous home and ended up there. He was talkative and incredibly affectionate and had more personality in his little body than is imaginable. Everyone that met him adored him.
I feel like my heart has been ripped out and can't imagine life without him. He was the brightest spot of my day everyday and lit up a room with his personality and charm. I wish that by writing this and telling everyone about him it would somehow bring him back. The pain is so overwhelming and I'm not sure that in time it will ever lessen.
Thanks for the shoulder, fellow cat lovers =^..^=
