GOODBYE COWBOY


My neighbor called me today asking if I’d seen Cowboy. He grew attached to him, feeds him (really well) and he hasn’t shown up to eat for a few days. 

He went looking for him and found him in the grass in someone’s yard up the street. Unfortunately, Cowboy got hit by a car. He was the last cat to trap and since my neighbor kind of adopted him, he was going to try to trap him.  I’m just guessing he was a boy because he never got pregnant or went in heat as far as we know.  Even though I fixed all the other cats, there’s always a cat somewhere in every neighborhood that hasn’t been fixed.

He took him home to his house and buried him.  I felt bad for him.  He’s not really much of an animal person and said it was like losing part of his family.  I will miss seeing him. He was the prettiest of all the cats and seemed to like it when I sang to him.

SAD! Gosh, I hate to hear he got hit by a car! I feel bad for your neighbor too! It is a very hard way to lose a pet. ):
