I received a phone call a while ago telling me that my little girl cat was dead beside a main road 1/4 mile away. I have fields to the rear which she enjoyed, so I can only think she was chased by another cat ( she was very skittish). There is not a mark on her so hope it was instant.
I am feeling so guilty! I gave a home to 'Lulu' and her brother Bugsie from Cats Protection last July - named with the help of GNetters - and have not kept her safe!

So sorry to hear this, shysal. It happened to one of my cats. Again, not a mark on him. His twin, who had 99 lives, survived to be quite elderly at 17. 
ohh shysal how very upsetting for you, and yes sounds like she may have been chased if she normaly plays in the fileds... I would think that it "was" instant with no marks on her which doesn't make you feel any better I know...take care.
That's very sad shysalI am sure you did keep her safe,but cats are independent and she had a happy time playing in the fields,I am sure it was quick probably shock...big hugs for you and Bugsie...RIP Tallulah
shysal, try not to feel guilty, because that wee cat enjoyed a lovely life with you, bless her. She was just living her life the way she wanted to and knew that she was loved and cared for. There was nothing you could have done to stop this happening, and it's how it is with cats. She would have known nothing about it at all. xx
