*if you're an unsympathetic fuck and have nothing nice to say, don't read this and don't leave me a comment
my cats have always been indoor cats, but i used to take my brother and sister kitties out for walks when they were kittens. there's a pole in the yard with a long rope tied to it at the house i moved into a couple of months ago. sometimes i'd let two of my 3 cats (the third one is a little too schizo) take turns on the rope outside. sometimes I'd sit with them, other times i'd go back inside and check on them every 10 minutes or so. i've done this more times than i can count.
flux sat outsisde with me while i sewed in my shack on tuesday night, and i left him out there for awhile longer. i always wanted them to see more than what was inside. later i went back out to my shack and aeon satarted crying at the back door like she always does when i go outside. i let her outside to explore and checked on her every so often.
i was on the phone and came outside to see how she was doing later. she was staring through a hole in the fence, watching people go by on the street.
later i came out and saw that the cord was going under the deck, so i pulled on it, figuring that she was hiding under there. she didn't come out so i went back inside. i came back out ten or 15 minutes later, tugged on the rope again, and still she didn't come out. i grabbed the flashlight so i could see where she was so i could coax her out. she was staring at me. i got closer and realized what happened. the rope was really long; i thought that with a long rope, nothing bad would happen. she was only about 3 or 4 feet away from the pole that the rope was tied to. the rope got caught on something, and she was hanging there from the deck, completely lifeless. all this blood had rushed to her left eye. there was nothing i could do. i don't know how long aeon had been like that. i couldn't save her. aeon had always been my token annoying kitty, but i loved her. i still love her.
i have never seen anything as horrifying as this, and i hope i never have to see anything like it again. she's buried in the backyard. i planted some flowers on top of her. i hope she knows that i love her and i hope she's not mad at me. her brother kitty flux has been taking good care of me. i just hope she knows that as much as she drove me crazy, i never wanted something like this to happen to her.
i'm so sorry, little girl....

That's terrible. I'm sorry.

oh god, that's so awful. I mean that you lost your kitty. Obviously you didn't mean to and you couldn't have known that that was going to happen. I'm sorry.
