Default I am sad...tears have streamed down my cheeks

This is in memory of Junior a little bundle of fun that lived such a short life before being taken from us. He was run over yesterday morning.

This is Junior with his favourite toys.
Junior's favourite toys

He loved to climb inside things even though sometimes he couldn't fit.

Playing hide and seek in a banana box

He was soft and cuddly

Junior our kitten relaxed

His best friend Chevy who misses him heaps already

Chevy and Junior

We were blessed to have him in our lives even for a short time.
Thanks for looking.

I'm so sorry. I once awoke to a car speeding down our street early one morning. He must have been doing 60 in our 25 MPH zone. When I walked out the door to go to work, there lay our cat in the street, dead, but still warm. I know that was the car that hit her. It hurt terribly.

Oh Angela, I am so very sorry. Only one who has lost pets can know the sadness it brings. Please know my thoughts are with you. These shots are lovely as is the story.

Thank you for your kind comments. I keep expecting to see him in his favourite places and it brings tears to my eyes knowing I won't see him again. I wish there was a way to train cats to stay off the road.

I am moving soon from the country into the small township where we live, I have been saying that I hope the cats (we had three, now two) won't get run over being so close to the road and not used to it but then this happened.

You have the deepest and most heartfelt sympathy of a dedicated dog lover. It is a hard thing for someone to say goodbye to one so loved, be it a pet or a person. Our pets become our family. Go with God little Junior.

Oh i'm so sorry, now i'm crying. I am an animal (but my heart belongs to cats) and i understand losing these precious little family members, I really do. I feel your pain and i hope that it gets better with time. Junior was beautiful and you really showed that with these lovely photos in his memory. Kimi

Thank you everyone for your sympathy, it is amazing how we become so attached to our pets in such a short amount of time. Their unconditional love and compaionship bring us warmth and support in a way we sometimes take for granted until they are gone.
