I got him in, but it was too late.

Menelaus caught the bad end of a car. It happened just as I was heading in to Chris' gate. Heard a thump, saw a limping cat dart into someone's front yard.

Made the decision to look at what had happened....

Checked the fur - white. Phew.

Went around into the front yard....

Ginger cat sprawled out not moving.

Checked the tail - shaved with surgical marks....

[livejournal.com profile] mstakenidentity's cat was there.......

So I brought him in and told her.

Nothing else to do.

Now he's wrapped in in a towel. I'll help her bury him tomorrow.

That's a bugger.

Even though I'm not a cat person, bordering on being an anti-cat person, I know how much pets mean to people. Never easy to say goodbye to.

Hope Chris is ok.

I have nightmares about this sort of thing.

I promise to buy both you some alcohols next time I see you.

Cheers Abe, it's never easy.

Chris is out back digging a grave now.

I hate the word grave in this context.
