Been offline for a week, fixed now.
A week ago just about now, a car driver ran over my Courtney just
outside the house. Her head was crushed and she must have died
instantly. The killer didn't stop, of course. They must have been
going far too fast for a suburban side street, as Courtney never
hung about in the middle of the road.
She was the sweetest natured cat I've ever had. When Muriel and
later Ishtar were terminally ill, she would snuggle up to them and
help them groom. She used to like climbing up on my shoulder so
she could purr in my ear.
She's buried beside Ishtar and Muriel in the garden.

For some reason drivers only have to report to the police if they kill a
dog. I think that law should extend to cats too so at least if one of yours
was missing you could phone them to ask instead of perhaps never knowing
what became of them which must be a torture.
It's my worst fear, that Boyfie could get run over, but very unlikely since
there is hardly any traffic up here at the edge of the village - the road
goes nowhere so only local residents drive to and from their houses plus he
rarely goes "out on the front" where the road is, presumably because there
is so much acreage behind.
Before anyone asks from where the culture is to keep cats inside "is it
worth risking?" I'd say yes, in the UK, if you don't live near a busy road.

I am really sorry about Muriel. I suppose it's somewhat of a comfort

to know she
died instantly. But it doesn't make you miss her any less. I am truly
sorry.

I have never been good at names, and obviously that applies to cat
names too. Sorry about
the mistake.

Jack, I'm so sorry. It's terrible to lose a cat that way, but

especially when they're as sweet and affectionate as she was. I'm
glad she didn't suffer, though.
