((((((Todd)))))) I'm really sorry to hear that. Sixteen years is a long time, and I'm sure your kitty was a cherished family member. Hugs to you and your wife.

Yeah, the kids were upset, my son shut down, I wasn't home. Everything has calmed down , Realization that it was an accident has set in, but 16 years, my little dude has survived everything til now. Grieving sucks for the moment. Worst part was taking his collar off tonight, I really didn't need to see that. Thanks for the hugs!!

My youngest son was there when the cat was hit and the dog was hit. Both times. Twisted at my heart to see him shut down. Paryers for you all. Our cat is now 13 and the dog is 2. The first cat my son was 8, the dog he was 19. He shut down more with the dog. I am thinking the younger children maybe get over things faster?
