I ACCIDENTILY ran over my sons cat. It was the most horrible thing I have gone through lately.?

I am so sorry for ur loss. The same exact thing happened to my mom. Sorry to say but it bugged her till the day she died, but she didnt let that one incident ruin her life. But she always said she felt so bad and it made her sick to think what she had done. Whats done is done and ur sons cat is at the rainbow bridge waiting for ya'll to join him one day in the distant furture (if u believe animals go to heaven). I really hope u find someone to talk to about this and work through it and know it was an innocent mistake. Also maybe doing a memorial with a little fairwell poem or letter will help. For every animal I lost they got a farewell letter that told of their life, their laughther and the pain of there loss caused and how much they were loved and wanted. Anyways, I hope this helps.

I'm sorry. Things like this hurt more than one might think, don't they? Time will fix it.

When I put my car into reverse, I always back up about an inch, then stop. Naturally I scan the ground as I approach, too. After all, what's the rush? (a serious question when you consider some possible consequences)

get that habit going and you are a lot less likely to ever repeat. good luck

I know how you feel, it is horrible to go through something like this. it will hurt for a long time, the best thing to do is talk to your son about the cat remember happy times and laugh with him. eventually when you have had time to grieve over this cat, start searching shelters for cats or kittens you might like to adopt.

i am sorry that this happened.

I am sorry that this happened to you. Stop blaming yourself and realize that you did not maliciously run the cat over. As guilty as you may feel, you know and your son knows that you would never hurt him or something he loves on purpose. Understand that the reason your son is not upset is that he is trying to make you feel less guilty. He may be grieving when you are not around.

Sorry for your loss. It was a terrible accident and nothing more. I always feel just sick when I accidentally hit an animal of any kind. I hit a chipmunk the other day and I still can't stop thinking about it. I'll swerve out of the way to avoid hitting squirrels and birds even. One of these days I'm going to kill myself doing that kind of thing....

It's really difficult to go through, but what helps most of all is time. My second day learning to drive when I was seventeen I backed over my new kitten :( I'm 22 now and still remember how sad I was.

make sure he knows your sorry and that it was an honest acident that will help a lot and if he would like another cat even if not right at this point in time promise to get him one but when you do make sure he gets to pick it out if wants to

Sorry to hear about the cat. Only time will make you feel better,and you didnt do it on purpose.

Time is the best thing to help you get through this sad incident.

im so so sorry if that happened to me i would feel so bad.but i know my son would for give me so dont worry to much it will be ok=)
