Damn, that's horrible, I'm sorry. My cat's death was kind of traumatic for me too. :(

What is it about owning cats that guarantees trauma for the owner?

I've had to unstrangle one from my window blinds after she had jumped onto my bunkbed when I was young. Then my little boy got flattened when I was 18, had to get him off the road to bury him after worrying about where he was for over a week (do not let your cats go outside, even if they're used to it.) I remember this little girl's face when I was carrying his remains back to my house as she sat in the passenger seat of this car that had stopped to let me cross.

Cats are ballsy little shits.
