'My Special Baby Cat Ellie'

by Tracey Devlin
(Glasgow)

We got Ellie from a farm last November she was so tiny. When we took her to the vet for a kitten check the vet told us she was actually 3 or 4 weeks old and not the 7 the lady said she was.

Our special Ellie got run over last night at 11pm and died instantly. I feel so guilty because I didn't know until 12 noon today the 26th of September.

A friend of the lady who lives round the corner saw the accident and buried Ellie in her back garden. I remember her coming in last night, I have four cats and I check they are in safe every night but she must have got back out.

I am so heartbroken and feel so guilty. I cant believe she's gone and I'll never see her again.
