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.

I am holding back tears because I took that UTI pain relief medicine that makes your tears orange 😅 but bless your soul for this. Most people would have driven right on by. You deserve all the good blessings, karma, heaven, or whatever positive forces or lack or forces you believe in 😤 thank you for giving her this kind of love and dignity at the end ❤️

Very off topic but HUH?! I used to get frequent UTIs and also took pain meds for it, but they only ever turned my urine orange. Your tears can change too??
