Seems like I just posted one of these... R.I.P. to Abby the cat.

A few months ago my old (18 yr old) cat died, basically of old age. I was sad, but since I knew it was coming I came to peace with it pretty easily.

Last night my sweet girl cat, Abby, passed away at the age of around 8. She was a beautiful black cat with green eyes. She used to be sort of stand-offish, but recently had become extremely affectionate and vocal. She quickly became one of my favorite cats, especially since I had just moved home and she was a wonderful source of comfort when I was feeling strange/lonely about it.

I can't help but feel guilty. We usually make sure our cats are in at night, and over the past 18 years of owning cats, nothing like this has ever happened. She was attacked by what was probably a fox. My mother found her this morning, waking me up with her yells of shock and sadness. It was so unexpected and I was more upset than I thought I would be. I usually check if she's outside before I go to bed, but this one time we just didn't realize she was still out.

I'm glad I wasn't the one who had to see her this morning. My mom was distraught.

I'll miss her a lot. She was so adorable and loving these past few months. We have one cat left, Gilbert. We'll be keeping a close eye on him. He is also extremely sweet and affectionate. Don't want to lose him in this way.

RIP, Abby. Thanks for being exactly what a pet should be for me this past month. I truly appreciated it. :'(

Hence my hesitation of getting a new pet.

RIP Abby.

Sorry for your loss.

I know someone who also lost her cat to a wild animal a couple years back. It was heartbreaking for her.

My condolences. My kitties don't go outside. Too many bad things can happen. Looking out the screen door is enough.

I had a kitten named "Boo Boo Kitty". My sister and I went over my Grandma's house for the weekend and my mom called to say he was "Lost". What she meant was, she let him go outside with our older cat, Nemo (he passed away 5 years ago) to "play".

Nemo ran off and left Boo Boo Kitty to discover the world for himself. What he discovered the the Wheel Axle in the neighbor's car. She came out to go to the grocery store and crushed him and he fell out of the wheel.. or something.

Needless to say, he didnt look too good.

RIP Abby. We had this very same thing happen recently to our family cat, Tadd. He was an outside cat that never really wandered outside our fenced yard. One night, he didn't come back. We went looking for him in neighboring woods, and food he had been attacked and killed by an unknown animal.

RIP Abby. RIP Tadd. It's always sad to lose a pet

Sorry to hear that.

I don't have a cat, but I do love cats. Black cats are especially cool

RIP.

That's why you shouldn't let cats outside.

I hope you don't blame yourselves too much for this. That feeling is the worst one. RIP Abby.

I know this will make me look stupid, but pets dying is the only reason i don't own any. I'd be a mess if something like this happens to me.

RIP to your kitty.

That's also why I don't let mine out.

She got one out night last summer and was gone for like 2 days. I was a total wreck the entire time, but she managed to come home. She was covered in ticks, but unharmed.
