https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/PLEASE-help-me-with-my-guilt/m-p/324411#M137601 <P>I am almost physically sick over this and cannot stop crying about it. We have a neighbor lady who got a kitten last fall. She claimed she was allergic to cats so the poor thing stayed out all last winter in the snow. Many times I and other neighbors wanted to adopt it, but no one ever approached her. He/she seemed to tolerate the winter. I always called him "nuisance" because everytime he saw anyone come out of their houses he was right there to love on them. He also loved our dog and they would rub on each other and just love to greet each other. He did develope a habit of catching and killing birds. One neighbor began feeding him thinking he was not getting enough at his so called home. He came to my heated water fountain all winter. I grew so used to seeing him everyday around. I actually loved him even with his habit of killing the birds. But, to protect our many birds and for his safety, I turned her into the HO about letting an animal run, which is against our rules. They talked to her last Wed. and he was run over on Thursday by one of the neighbor teens. She was devastated, as we live on a cul-de-sac and I know she was not speeding. She said a big cat was chasing our kitten and he ran in front of her. Her parents buried him in their yard. The owner does not even seem upset. The 3 neighbors that all wanted to adopt him are upset. I miss him so much even though I called him nuisance. I feel I should have called on him sooner in hopes she would be forced into giving him away or just taken him in and not told her. Sorry this is so long......I cannot stop crying over this. How do I live with the fact I did not do anything to help this poor cat earilier?</P> Sun, 12 May 2013 16:57:07 GMT nomar 2013-05-12T16:57:07Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/PLEASE-help-me-with-my-guilt/m-p/324411#M137601 <P>I am almost physically sick over this and cannot stop crying about it.
