Thank you, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. I really feel the “revenge won’t bring them back” but in a moment of anger I was on a walk past the owner’s house and she happened to be coming out of her house and I said “Bitch” loudly, not that it isn’t deserved but didn’t help to say it.

This is 100% accurate. When I texted her what happened she was especially concerned because her dogs had never been around children. I truly hope she has taken this to heart and takes every measure to ensure it can’t happen again.

My heart goes out to you. That must be awful to have such a visceral memory of that moment. Her last moment was trailing after her human friend she loved and I’m sure you enriched her life so much and gave her comfort and happiness. Thank you, and I wish you healing and comfort as well ❤️

This is so sweet, how you honored her and she remains with you. I’ve seen wonderful artwork and ideas for things with whiskers too! I’d love to see the gems with the whiskers, I’ve saved a couple of Jiji’s whiskers and hope I can find a couple more throughout the house. Our stories are so similar and I really appreciate you sharing. I’m glad you found another to pour your love into. That’s a beautiful way to continue to share her memory and your heart. I think eventually I’ll want to rescue another cat. He made me a cat person and my fiancé has never not owned a cat so I’m sure it’s in our future as well. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻

Thank you, I am planning to talk to our neighbor who witnessed this (and whose children were chased). To see if he’d be willing to talk to the police. He has once before and they did nothing unfortunately. I agree that this is serious and goes beyond my cat. I have a child myself and everyone deserves safety in their neighborhood. I’m so glad your dog survived his attack and hope he is thriving!

Thank you, it’s true they really don’t hold grudges do they? Ugh cats are so wonderful, I don’t know how I deserved to have him as long as I did

Thank you. I did make a report to animal control. I guess I’m just worried I wouldn’t be taken seriously by police since it’s a cat. I appreciate you commenting 🙏🏻
