I have been looking for a beloved cat for over 2 weeks. We rescued him from the side of the road 4 years ago. We spent a small fortune to save him and many trips to a vet that specialized and solved his problem. It took over a year to get this little guy well. He liked to trail hike with us and was such a wonderful spirit, I loved him with all my heart.
Last night my husband found him on the neighbors property with a broken neck and laying in the water. I feel like I am dying inside and can't hardly get through the day. I don't mean to post and be such a downer but I can't stop crying.This is the first pet that I have ever lost in 32 years to fowl play.It makes me sick.
We buried our baby today. I am still in shock but glad we at least were able to bury him with our other furbabies and have closure. Rest in peace my sweet friend.

Here is a picture of my Tucker. The one where we are sitting on the bench is out on the trail on the farm. We were taking a rest on the bench enjoying the woods. This was his favorite thing to do and lay on my lap. R.I.P. my sweet Tucker.

Oh, Linda, it is never easy to lose a beloved pet, but especially to something so horrible. I would love to know who did that to your beloved boy--some backwoods justice is just what they need. I'm angry and sad, right along with you. Your heart must surely be broken, because I know you, and that heart has had a lot of furry creatures walk across it over the years.
Thinking of you.

I am heartbroken over your sadness. Like Jonni said, it is never easy to lose a beloved pet but to lose one in such a way as you did infuriates me. I don't know if your sweet kitty was killed by the hands of a human, but if he did, it makes me disgusted that people can be so cruel.
Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thankful that you were at least able to bury him so you don't have to wonder what happened to him.
R.I.P sweet Tucker.

| Linda, what a terrible thing. My heart goes out to you and you and your husband. Tucker had himself a good loving home with you. I pray that will be of some comfort to you. |

| Linda, please accept our sincere sympathy on the loss of Tucker. My daughter and I literally just came in from burying our pet snake who died during the night. Tonight as I try to sleep I will picture Tucker and Lilly Belle crossing the rainbow bridge together. What a vision. It brings a smile to my tear stained face. God bless you and your family. |

Linda, I am so sorry for the loss of Tucker. But I am also very angry if he died at someone else's hand. They will answer for that.
Tucker I know is happily playing in a wonderful beautiful field. I pray the Lord will give you comfort. Hugs to you.

Thanks ladies I truly appreciate your kind words. It does my heart good for all your support.
I just wish the pain in my head and heart would stop. Hopefully tonight when I go to bed maybe I will fall asleep and I can escape the pain for awhile. I know over time this pain will lessen. I wish I could fast forward my life about 6 months.
Connie I had seen your post after I came in from putting Tucker to rest.Once again I am so sorry for the both of you. Your vision sounds very nice. I will try to picture that too. Thanks so much and God bless your family too.

Linda, I'm crying thinking of poor Tucker and your heartbreak. I'm so sorry, it's so awful to find a pet like that and not know what happened. I love my fur babes so much and I can tell that you do too, and I'm angry and sad at the same time for poor Tucker and want a few moments out behind the barn with the culprit and a big shovel! Please know that you're in my thoughts and that I'm sending big farmgirl hugs and my sincere sympathies.
Hugs n' cookies =}

| I have been blessed enough to have met Tucker, & he was such a handsome & sweet kitty. I remember him sitting in Linda's lap adoring her like no other. He was a very handsome boy. Linda is not only MY frined, but also a friend to all those furry & feathered. Sleep tight Linda! |

Linda, I'm SOOOOO SORRY!!! It just hurts when we lose our pets. And, I can't even find words to express how I feel about cruelty!
It also makes my heart sink . . . because right now I'm worried about my kitty, Skye, who went missing Saturday. I haven't seen her since. There's a thread in "Across the Fence" about "The Queen . . . has gone missing . . again" that is about her tale. Just at a loss!
I'll be praying for your heart and your head!
Hugs!

He was such a handsome fellow, Linda. My heart aches for you. I woke up this morning really angry--it's so distressing to me that someone, living near you, is that callous and cold. I hear about it all the time, and working at the rural shelter in Pendleton County we saw a lot of cruelty, but I never understand it.
What a lovely boy--I hope you always hold him in your mind's eye just like that.

Awww hugs Linda. It sounds like fowl play but do you think maybe it was an accident or some type of predator? I know your heart is hurting, I'm sorry for what you are going through. The pictures are so pretty of your kitty and you too.

Linda,
I am so sorry to hear of your beloved cat's passing,he was so incredibly handsome.
I really do know what you are going through,on October 21st we had a house fire that killed all four of our cats and I have cried every day since,our fire occurred in the middle of the night and the house burned so fast that my Husband,Daughter and I got out just in time,a few minutes more and we wouldn't have but there was no time to get our cats and I am just heartsick about it every day.
It's incredibly hard to lose a beloved pet under any circumstances but so devastating and severing when you lose them to traumatic circumstances such as what happened to your beloved Tucker and our house fire,I pray that you'll find comfort and peace soon,I know it's awful hard right now,I'm not yet there either.
Here is our Tiddle kitten that we lost in the fire.

I am so sorry Kathryn. I sympathize with you totally. Time is the best healer and right now its too raw for both of us more time needs to pass. I am so sorry your housed burned down but glad you all made it out.
We suffered a house fire in 1997 but had time to get out and the fire department put it out. We were very lucky it was a slow moving fire in the attic and we woke up in time to get help.It started about 3 oclock in the morning so the fire deparment was able to get here pretty fast considering we live out in the middle of nowhere.
Your kitty sure is a sweet little kitten. Once again so sorry for all your losses.Peace and Hugs to you.

| Dear Linda, I am so very sorry for your loss of Tucker. It is hard enough losing a dear pet, but to lose one to foul play is beyond anything I can imagine. I second backwoods justice. Prayers and thoughts for you and your family. Karla |
