10 years old, hit by a car. More unfortunately, it was the morning I had to go out of town, so only found out when the neighbour rang the doorbell (luckily? a video doorbell).
Because our cats are indoor/outdoor. There’s a big paddock and hill with bush behind our property, but no, he had to go nosying out the other side. Our other cat is happy enough staying with the dog (stealing her bed) outside. He didn’t normally wander much, but the warmer weather must have made him restless.
…and I’ll fucking do it again!
