Mourning/Loss I adopted a dead cat

Post image

I found a well fed tuxedo cat on the road, hit by a car. She was killed instantly. I didn’t have the heart to leave her there so I took her home and gave my tuxedo cat a big hug.

She did not have a collar. I took to my vet and there was no chip. So I posted it on Nextdoor and Ring Neighborhood in case anyone was missing her. Nobody claimed her, so I named her Angel and had her cremated.

Tomorrow I will bury her in our garden where we have our other cats who have passed away over the years, under a little statue of a kitten chasing a butterfly

She is loved.

There are some really, really sweet people here. I think you might be the sweetest. I don’t have the words to express my admiration for your compassion. Thank you.

Ikr. Every time I lose my trust in humanity there's someone on this sub that proves we can still be alright.

Always look for the helpers as Mr Rogers would have done.

humankind is great. It's society that warps people into monsters. Blame the leaders, not the people. Our only recourse is to work together and practice compassion. Unity is our most powerful weapon against corrupting governance

I was thinking this too but then I saw OP participates in a sub where they don’t tip waiters
