I Accidently Killed My Cat
It happens. Your cat is sunning themselves in the driveway and you don’t know they’re there. You back out, hear a painful yowl and realize what’s happened. You stop the car, run to your cat and it dies in your arms. You’re beside yourself. After the tears stop, you have an overwhelming guilt, guilt that will stay with you for a long time. How do you get past this tragedy?
You did not mean to hurt your cat. Don’t hesitate to talk to a pet-loss bereavement counselor. Many veterinary schools and colleges offer this service for free, staffed by veterinary students who understand how important pets are to us and how difficult their loss can be.
Also, you have to realize that you are not the first person to have run over your own cat. Unfortunately, it happens with some regularity. It is one of the dangers out there to a cat that is allowed to roam free.
