Rorschack (the 2nd cat pictured in this post http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=13594.msg118547#msg118547 was hit and killed by a car late last night.
I had seen him only a few hours before my husband got home. Rorschack had been begging me for some crunchies as was his usual habit. Of course I gave him a few and he went on his way.
My husband got home at about 40 minutes after midnight, dropped his things on the table. and said he had seen a black and white cat dead on the street and was going out to bury it. He did not at first think it was one of ours. But, I went out with him and as soon as I saw the poor thing, I knew it was Rorschack. I knew the pattern of his black spots so very well...
We buried him in the back yard.
He always seemed to be such a cautious cat. He was not bold as some cats are. He always held back at first to check out a situation. I can only think that he had been startled and darted out in front of that car. His poor body was so broken that he must have died instantly. At least, that is what I hope.
I miss him terribly. He and I had a special relationship. It is hard to stop the tears. Never again will he get on my lap. Never again will he eat my black-eyed peas that he loved so much. Never again will he beg me for some crunchies. Never again,...
