Good Bye Kitcat

One can never describe the pain when one loses a treasured pet, well I have lost 2 in my life , 2 wonderful animals that brought love , joy , happiness and true loyalty . My Fist to go was my black Labrador .... Bonny , she died 4th September 2009 , a wonderful companion , and she followed me everywhere ... i got her when she was just 8 weeks old in 1995. In those days i was a runner. I used to run for Florida running club ... club colors pink and black .. we were well known back then as she used to run the 10 kms night races with me . Good Times .... 
Sadly , on the 10th Aug 2011, 20h15 , there was a ring on my door bell ... i looked thru the window and I didnt recognize the vehicle parked in my driveway ... I went to investigate . The young man on the otherside of my gate looked at me in despair as I approched ... dressed in nothing but a vest and tracksuit pants, which , i might add can be quite a scary site, if you dont know me . 
I approached ......... he asked " Do you own a mottled brown cat? "  My worst fear hit me as I replied "yes.... why " ... "Well I think ive just hit your cat with my car" ..... he replied .. With that , the cold clunk , of the electical mechanical gate lock opened ...... seconds later ......... my wife and distraught children came running out crying ... "KITCAT KITCAT " .......... With my heart in my mouth I asked this poor chap to show me the evidence .... before I could contain my children and my wife , they rushed to the scene ... only to find a very limp kitcat on our grassed pavement . Shrieks of pain rang out into the cold and quiet night . Completly oblivious now that the poor driver was standing amongst us , I grabbed my wife and children and went into a 4 person huddle over our poor Kitcat .... I tried to explain to my devestated family .... that ... well she had a good life with us and she has taught us a lot ... she had her kittens on My daughters bed ... in front of us all .. she allowed us to witness the wonders of nature take its course as she brought  4 wonderfull kittens into the world . She taught us love and patience ... you see we were always doggy people until little Kitcat came into our lives just some 18 months ago . ....... and now she's gone , as quick and silently as she arrived ... you know , they say , cats choose you and its not you who chooses the cat ... well this was certaily the case with OUR KITCAT ... 


Rest in Peace Kitcat ..... you are missed daily , and we love you  xxxxxxx
