An hour ago our neighbor and his friend rang our doorbell to let me know that our cat Baldur had been hit by car just outside our house.  I rushed to him to find him still with no apparent injuries except for bleeding from the mouth.  I heard a short car beep maybe 10 minutes before the doorbell rang, I guess that was it.
My wife and I have just buried Baldur in our garden.  We are hurting. 
Baldur never got to experience a full life, but we take comfort in that he got lots of loving while with us, he was part of our family.  Our son is away at university, we will break the news to him after classes today.  He came home for the weekend, so at least he had some time with Baldur recently.

I want to believe that the driver didn't realize that he hit Baldur.  We live on a street connected to other streets, but it is a dead end and the car that I heard beep was driving into the neighborhood.  I don't want to be suspecting someone or other in the neighborhood of having callously left our cat to die in the street.
He was on my lap just earlier, laying on his back, extending his paw to my face to show his love for me, we were close and had an understanding.
We had to bury Baldur right away, I just couldn't stand looking at the poor little fella laying there in our backyard.  We stuck a large flat whale back bone piece in the ground as his stone and said our goodbyes to him, wishing him a safe journey to his next destination.
Thank you for the kind words, mate.

@ramit I used to think I had a somewhat eclectic choice in music! 😂
Here's a Big Band, Bristol style, called the Dutty Moonshine Big Band. Kinda anarchic and chaotic mash up of drum & base, grunge, techno, rap, jazz hall and Ska. Yeah, I know it sounds bonkers!
They get booked for the big summer festies, but the small venue stuff is really their thing. Seeing them in February with my lot in Bristol at the Beacon which is their spiritual home. It'll be musical bedlam. Probably an acquired taste in fairness, but I love them. Here's a D & B type number with French horns from the SWX in Bristol which may be a tad hard. The one below that is from Nozstock and showcases their brass section a little more. Can't find any tape of the full band on at once, but they can have up to 20 players all giving it the beans at once. Check out the last track in particular. Properly infectious stuff. Helps that the band themselves are cool AF as seem most of the Bristol crews to be fair.
 

I couldn't see an ex ram thread for him and thought it was worth having a place to share his magic moments...
The fella still has it, he's far too good for league 2 really
 

Please let me know when it gets easier @Alph
I lost my best friend on the 10th of August and it still hurts as much now as it did then. He had a heart attack. He was nearly two.
Maybe it was just the nature of the relationship between us - he was my shadow and followed me everywhere. I work from home so was literally with him every day of his short life. I'm really struggling with it. Our home, that I love, just hurts me at the moment constantly. He's in every room with me, or at least it feels like he is.
It just feels so unfair and I don't really know how it can possibly get better.
The only thing that reassures me is that people keep telling me they felt the same and they you do get through it. Just feels like I've lost a child or something. I know that must sound silly. But he was our little boy.
 
 

That got me bustin for a Blocbuster.  Turned up the volume even higher on my Genelec's and blasted this out the nearby open window. 
My neighbor ran out with his hands held high in the air, again.
Thanks Crewton

Urgh, so sorry Ramit. I find it staggering that so many folk seem to think that it's ok to hit any animal, let alone one that is obviously a domestic pet and simply drive on. Accidents happen, but to not at least check the condition of the animal, is the act of a prize Bamford.
Once again, it's hard to know what to say other than I'm really sorry this has happened and I hope you and yours are not too down for too long.

That got me bustin for a Blocbuster.  Turned up the volume even higher on my Genelec's and blasted this out the nearby open window.

Full volume, windows open, give it plenty
 

To get into this track, here's what you do, at 5.15 am find a deserted highway, preferably over a mountain, have a sip of the coffee you brought along, accelerate to 122 km per hour and put this on at 67% volume
Worked for me
