I have four cats that I have to keep in the house because I live on a very busy street. We moved here from a ranch and they don't even know what traffic is. For about a year and a half a beautiful tortoise shell girl has come around and I've fed her on the porch and made her a bed. There are three others that I feed but my granddaughter named "Loveheart" and we were very attached to her. I was planning on taking her with me when I leave here but hesitated to add her to the mix now in the house. How I regret that. I came home from work tonight and her body was on my front yard. She had been run over. I have never, ever seen her near the street. Obviously she did venture out and someone hit her. I tried to dig a grave but could not get it dug. I wrapped her in one of my shirts and put her in a box for pick up tomorrow. I feel horrible. I feel like I failed her. She was so loving and sweet. Has anyone else had anything like this happen? I've devestated and second guessing myself. Pat
