The After Math Of Loosing A Best Friend From Cruelty

So back in August, I lost my best friend and my little Spark - MOO sad

he was my 15month old kitten - who we rescued from being dumped out in the rain!

He had the best personality and pulled me out of a rough patch in my life.
He was my hot water bottle, my cure for tears and my spark within me and he truly was my best friend.
Moo was a lovable kitten and always showed affection to everyone who met him - all except one! my crazy ex-house mate.

She was only there a little while, but when she clashed with my other house mate i guess I copped the raw end of the deal and the way she knew she could get back at us was to hurt the one thing i cared about most in the world.
We were in the middle of moving out and the crazy house mate had come home to collect her things and I had seen MOO that morning, bubbly and bright as he usually was, when i came home at midday, it was a different story.

I won't go into what i saw when i walked in the door but we rushed him to the vet, we thought it may have been a UTI but i was soon to discover it was worse than i thought.
I said goodbye to him at the vets that night thinking i would see him the next day, he was crying for me but i gave him cuddles and let him be.

THAT was the last time I ever saw my little man alive again. The next morning i received the phone call and my world came crashing down around me.
We were told MOO bled out internally due to a forceful blow to his stomach.
When i confronted the crazy housemate she confirmed she had kicked MOO because he wouldnt move out of the way... which means my baby would have suffered.

I know people may not want to read the above but i really havent told my story and i want advice on how to let go of the anger i have towards her, the emptiness i feel without moo and how to move on.
MOO now sits next to me in his photo box, his ashes will always remain close - it will never be the same.

This makes me even more passionate to stop animal cruelty. The RSPCA are involved in the case but it seems to be dragging and i want justice - but the justice i want, wouldn't be classed as rational!

Can any one please offer me some advice sad

I'm sorry, but this just ruined my day.

I lost my favorite cat about two years ago when he suddenly just disappeared from home. He was so sweet and i can't hep feeing that something happened to him, ever since the Crawdad incident. ( Just after becoming vegetarian, I was walking my dog and came across three girls, not much older than I am now, flipping and chasing a crawdad out of water. I confronted them and asked them what they were doing. They said they were taking the crawdad home to dissect, just because they could! I tried to rescue him, but they came over and crushed the crawdad in my hands, and all of his yellow intestines spilled out. I ran, crying, looking back too see them trying to carry the crawdad back, falling all the way. It changed my life.)

So, your housemate killed your cat??!! She should have a very very very very severe penalty.

Aww i am sorry i didn't mean to ruin your day i just wanted advice.

I am sorry you had to witness that - some people are just out right cruel.

I hope the RSPCA can come up with a decent penalty - Moo deserves justice for what happened to him and i wont rest until I get it.

I am so, so sorry to hear this story. I can only imagine how angry and heartbroken you must be feeling. Shame on your ex-housemate. Shame, shame, shame.

I hope the RSPCA do hold her accountable for her actions. What she did was horrific and illegal. My thoughts are with you.

Thank you.

I hope they do too, because it is not right that she can get away with such a cruel heartless act.
I just wish i knew a way to let go of the anger i have toward her. confused

I think we have to realise we will never 'get over it' but instead we learn to manage our pain. Sometimes all we can do is to feel angry, the trick is not to hang on to it. Allow yourself to feel incredibly sad - it is an incredibly sad thing to happen. I too, wish the RSPCA would hurry up and get things moving for you, no one should get away with this abject cruelty. If it were me, I would let everyone know exactly what she did, any mutual friends should know, they may have animal friends as well and I know I wouldnt want anyone like that any where near my animal friends, in fact I wouldnt want to know them at all. Sometimes all we can do is cry with you, we do. Love and light shine brightly on you

Thank you for your kind words, they help!

I have told many people about what she has done and I have spread the word that no one should ever leave her alone with animals, or let her near them.
I have contacted the RSPCA and they have informed me it is a difficult case and she is now ignoring them... I hope there is still something they can do.
Moo deserves justice and i sure do too!

I will just keep pushing on and smiling at the memories of my stinky fluffy little man ecstatic
