OMG poor cat....It's ok dude...thank god u didn't see the poor thing dying...If u asked me, I've seen THREE little kitties died squashed by tires....right in front of my eyes....
Can't even sleep for days after that....too horrified!!...

<sigh> this shouldn't happen to any cat lovers ... especially as a direct result of one own's action ... I didn't see the poor cat get squashed, correct, there's no yelp sound even. But as I got down to close the gate, I was puzzled why the cat was rolling like a fish out of water in a puddle of water ... suddenly it dawned upon me that's it's not water, but blood ... it stopped seizuring and was lifeless fairly soon ... I'm trying not to think too much about it already, but the imagery will surely haunt me for a long while ...

I know ur feeling...same like my wife...Beloved cat dead bcoz hitted by car in front of her eyes...So tragic...But, no worry dude. It's not ur fault

Yeap, seeing with own eyes is more traumatic ... tried not to think too much of all the what-ifs .... what if I didn't go out last nite, what if we didn't let the cat sleep in the front porch, what if we potty-trained the cat better so that it'll still be staying at the backyard, ... etc. The cat was only around 6 months-old and quite manja ... <sigh> ...
That's why most of you attach a bell collar to your cat ....
Thx for the consolations guys, I appreciate them ....
