    Cody

    I adopted a six month old cat from a shelter and was assured that she was sterilised and healthy. After three months with us, Khloe gave birth on the couch while we sat and watched tv. Nobody knew she was pregnant. She gave birth to two beautiful ginger male kittens. They immediately became the joy of my existence. I did everything humanly possible to provide the best for them and make sure they were well-fed and safe. On Christmas day i decided to take my mommy for a drive and put the mom cat and kittens in the yard. Sadly, they got out and my dearest Cody was killed by a speeding car. My life is not the same without him. He was the apple of my eye and the most loving cat i have ever encountered. He would wake me up at 7:50Am every day and fall asleep behind my knees. He also carried a ball around in his m outh and would bring it to me to throw and he would catch it. He was only five months old when he passed away. My heart is shattered. He was a small glimpse of heaven to me and I cherish every minute i spent with him. To me, he was the most beautiful kitten in the world.

    How sad, i am so sorry. It is so hard to lose a pet regardless of age. Do you still have the other one?

    I am so sorry for what happened to Cody. Indeed what SillyCat is true; always keep the kitties inside, always. There are too many dangers for them even when we think they are safe. I am glad how you adopted his mama and doted on both Cody and his brother. Life has taught me to enjoy everyone that is close each and every day never taking them for granted no matter what. You had so little time with him yet it was loving quality time nevertheless. Cody will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge when you too passover. Blessings!

    My heart goes out to you on the loss of little Cody. Special kitties hold a special place in our hearts. Know that he is waiting for you in the meadow beyond the Rainbow Bridge. I’m sure his mom and brother miss him too.

    Beautiful kitty. I too am so sorry for your loss. If I was there I would give you a big hug. There . . . .() consider yourself hugged. He will be missed, but just think of the wonderful memories Cody has given you in his short little life. These are memories to treasure always. ^ ^

    oh, my, what an absolutely heartbreaking story. My condolences on your loss; Cody looks like he was just the sweetest little thing. I hope mum cat and the remaining kitten are kept safe indoors now, the outside is a very dangerous place for kitties. I am sure Cody knew he was loved and cherished, you will always have him in your heart

    What an unbearable combination of extreme cuteness and sadness. Another little kitty angel in heaven.

    Awww, poor little Cody! I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like the perfect little boy. I always keep mine inside because I couldn’t bear it if I lost her. Too many things can happen. Hope you still have the other one and mama to help you through your loss.

    Cody was lovely. Damn those speeding cars that kill far too many cats, humans and other creatures.

    I am heartsick for both of you. I just lost my little Triscuit less than a month ago so my feelings are very raw yet. That little face was too sweet to stay on earth for long.

    One thing I know to be true, love is part of the Divine in all of us and being so, is Eternal. That love you gave to Cody will always live.
