I am so, so sad. A dog has killed my little black cat - we let him out this morning for awhile, like we always do because he loves to go outside, and a dog caught him and killed him. I know some people will think I'm stupid because "it's just a stupid cat", but we've had him for five years and he just followed us all over the place, all around the house, and he was such a sweetie. I am going to miss him, because he was such good company around the house. I am just brokenhearted over it. I hate that he died so viciously. Mom and Dad and I are so sad. He just couldn't get away from that horrible dog that someone didn't keep tied up.

I know some think it's ridiculous to get attached to an animal, but I always do. It's going to take me awhile to get over this one.

R.I.P. Cinders. We loved you and will miss you so much. I'm so sorry that I wasn't out there to protect you when you needed help.
