Had a phone call this morning from the vets round the corner to say that someone had been in to say they could hear a cat in distress, so the vet nurse went and got the cat and brought it to the vets. Turns out it is our Kuki. He has been hit by a car and has broken his pelvis in three places, dislocated his hip and is paralysed in his tail. They dont know if his bladder is also paralysed, we will have to wait and see over the weekend, if his bladder is paralysed, they will have to put him to sleep. She said the pelvis would eventually heal itself with cage rest and his tail would have to be removed.
He did not come in last night, but he does occaissionally sleep next door if he cant be bothered coming home. He must have been lying out there all night, one leg is cut and full of stones, where he had tried to drag himself back home. The vet said he was freezing cold when they got him.
So keep everything crossed for him.. xx

I am so sorry to hear the news. We had to euthanize my mothers cat when some scumbags had thought it funny to shoot her with an air rifle.
An extract from a lovely poem I found.
If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle cannot be won
You will be sad I understand
Dont let your grief then stay your hand
For this day more than all the rest
Your love for me must stand the test
I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me
Although my tail it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Very sad time my thoughts are with you. xx

So sorry to read this.
A very sad decision to have to take, but at least he is not suffering any more.
RIP wee Kuki.
Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.

Ahh, so sorry. Sadly, too many of us know how it feels and we're here for you if
you need us. Rest peacefully beautiful little cat.
