10 years old, hit by a car. More unfortunately, it was the morning I had to go out of town, so only found out when the neighbour rang the doorbell (luckily? a video doorbell).

~~Can I ask why he was outside? This common story never gets less sad and sadly never gets less common~~
How did the car get in your house, you should sue for gross negligence and wrongful death as well as costs to repair the structural damage
I'll take the downvotes if it helps one person do the opposite
I can’t say why OP let their cat out. But from my mother’s perspective “they’re explorer, why would I limit their expedition to a 4 walled prison.”
I personally don’t agree, but you can’t force people to keep them inside shrug
I hope OP’s other babes will be okay.
We can force people to keep their dogs inside or on leash.
I love cats but idk why they “should” get a free pass to roam, especially if you want it to not get hit by a car or killed by another larger animal, or kill countless other smaller animals.
Be responsible.
