Max was an interesting cat to say the least.
Extremely friendly and trusting, a great mouser and the bane of voles, birds and field mice.
He kept the neighbourhood garages and basements mice free for no fee other than a hello and a rub on the belly.
He followed my wife home a couple of years back just before winter. He was skinny and getting up in years.
After wintering with us, he had become considerably chubby and was quite happy. We decided it would be unfair to lock him in the house with us and we wanted him to continue his life as he had enjoyed it, but with the benefit of a warm place to go when he wanted and access to food constantly. So we adopted him into our family.
My wife's plan was to get him so chubby he couldn't jump the fence anymore, but after he found out that it was ok to come and go as he pleased he adapted to his new situation and was always able to conquer the fence without issues.
I am happy that he did not have to face a long lingering illness followed by death and instead had a very quick death with little time for pain to bother him.
I gave him his final pats as I cradled his broken little blood covered body into a box and made ready to have him cremated.
I sure liked him, and I will miss him and I thank you all for your condolences. I will share them with my wife who will also appreciate them.

Coconuts. Bananas. Mangos. Rice. Beans. Water. It's good.

That's a photo of a happy, content kitty with no regrets in life...

That's awful news. Sorry to say that this story gets repeated over and over with so little remorse on the side of the speeder.

sorry to hear that - pets are f-ing cool and I'm a big animal lover.
I remember when I was about 2.5 years old I was told our dog 'ran away' - it wasn't until I was in my mid 20s that I thought "wait a sec - dogs NEVER run away...he was hit by a car!"
-------------------------
whoops - there's already a 2nd page to this - nice photo! He definitely looks content - looks like you did a terrific job providing for him, and I think (you and the cat) knowing he was happy is the best you can ask for.
