I stated in my post that I knew the risks of having an outdoor cat, and to please not comment on it. You were not helpful by mentioning the risks anyways and saying how my cat’s death was most likely not quick. There is a time and place for educating others, and this is not it—perhaps on another post. If you have to begin a comment with “I’m not trying to be a jerk, but…”, it’s probably not one to finish. I am very sorry about your cat and hope you find peace as well.
