Driving slower gives them a greater reaction time to jump out of the way!
So my 8mth old Cat got run over......

I had just finished typing a reply to the recent comments when my fiancé has just phoned me to say -- after his x-ray - its now clear that he's been completely crushed internally, and has to be put down.
Forgive the briefness of this post, I can't say much more right now.
Absolutely gutted
Oh no
I'm sorry

So gutted, was telling my mum about this thread earlier whilst saying hi to my own cat. I said he had survived
Wee shame really. A few years back a kitten got hit in this street and was just chucked into a garden and left to be found.

You did the right thing. You're not a vet, so you took their advice and gave him a chance.
Sorry to hear he didn't make it
Soldato
Oh man i was all happy reading through the thread with you saying the vet gave him a chance and now im sad because of the update. Accidents will happen unfortunately. Least he's at peace now, you tried your best you couldnt do anymore than that.
RIP Archie

Sorry to hear the outcome. I'm sure Archie was pleased to spend his last days with you even though he was injured. Don't beat yourself up about the decision to try and see him recover.

Damn.. I just saw update#2 and thought it would be OK
Then i realised there was 3 pages
sorry

Absolutely gutted for you mate, I'm a true cat lover and I complete understand how you feel. You did absolutely everything you could to give him a fighting chance, fate wasnt on his side in this life. Hes up in cat heaven now curled up in a friendly lap or running around chasing mice to his hearts content.

Really sorry for you OP, I really hope that I don't have to go through what you have as it must be absolutely soul destroying.
RIP Archie

Want to say something mean because I hate cats but I can't as it's a sad story.
Sorry OP!
Sorry OP!

sorry for your loss R420, at least he was with family at the end, so many of the little guys pass away under trees, after being hit by traffic and their owners, none the wiser.
time for a kitten me thinks ASAP

My GF and our two 'babies' make up our family and we''re a total mess when even minor things happen to them. I've had to make similar decisions in the past too and found it an utterly heart wrenching experience.
You and your family have our deepest sympathies.

I applaud you for not giving up OP and trying your very best to bring your Kitten back to health. But very sorry to hear the bad news.

Really sorry to hear this Agree with others, it was right to give him a chance. You gave the little fella love and comfort with his family, until a proper diagnosis could be made.
Thoughts are with you are you little boy.
