damn. one of my mother's cats was apparently taken by a wild animal.

it's a bit difficult to know how to react - she's one of the people who always acts like we're being overly cautious by not letting our cats outside, but obviously I don't want to say I told you so.

it's sad, this cat couldn't walk properly and only went into the backyard. but it's a huge backyard that is about 50 meters away from fields and not much farther from a forest - and the cats often stay outside overnight. my mother also has chickens and at least 3 of them have been eaten by animals, but she still insists it's totally safe.

#I'm really sad about the cat 😔 she was sweet and always wanted to be pet 😢#they haven't found her. only a bunch of her fur....#ugh 😢#at least 3 of our cats died because they were hit by cars. I think this is the first one that was killed by an animal #but ugggh I just don't understand it. my mother spends all day in the backyard in summer! why not let the cats out only when she's there #and only in the part of the garden where she is #😭#this did not have to happen. she was only 12.#personal #cw animal death #(obviously there's more reasons we keep our cats inside. I don't want them killing small animals. but their safety is my main priority tbh)#fuck I'm really upset #the last few times any of her pets have died were because of old age and illness. so it was expected. this really shocked me 😭😭😭
