I'm Graham.
It is with great sadness that I must tell you that Tikki was taken to that great desert in the sky yesterday, the 10th of May 2019, at 17h30. All of the indications were that he suffered a heart attack. We are still trying to come to terms with his loss and with the massive vacuum it has left in our lives. He was our best friend and will always be in our hearts.

Absolutely gutted
Around 9pm my neighbour knocked on the door - they had seen a cat crawl into their drive which then died and wondered if it was mine.
So went round and there was our cat in her drive.
Looks to have been knocked over but hard to tell.
To make it worse, we bought the cat for my daughter who is currently away at university.
My son is at work and won't be home till tomorrow
My wife is away and again won't be home until tomorrow.
Not looking forward to telling them all tomorrow !!!
Currently placed her in the garage in a plastic box so I can bury her tomorrow
Only had her for 1.5 years but she has become so much a part of the family.
Ain't life great.

TA.
Told my son this morning - wanted to see her!
Funny thing is I had a dream last night that I was in the middle of telling my family about her death when she appeared, injured but alive and I was stunned - how did she get out of the garage.................... we as a species are very strange!!

Really sorry for your loss Andy. Some people would say it's just a cat, they don't know how much we love our furry family members. R.I.P. sweet kitty.
