I think, it speaks for itself. I think most of you have heard by now of it. This thread isn't actually needed I think, I'm quite sure all of you already know and understand, already figured. Though, I suppose that for those that don't know and to spare myself to have to repeat the story, over and over again, here it is.
Last night, Zack went outside like he always does each night, to enjoy himself for a few hours before we call him inside and go to bed. Sometimes he jumped the door early, to go inside for a few minutes and then meow at us to let him out again. I used to joke about it being him getting his bum a little cold, so he needed to go inside a few minutes to warm it.
Anyways. He jumped the door as usual, and walked in, but only on three legs. I was IG at the time, just about to RP as you know, when my bf called for me "Zack must have broken his leg, we need to get to a hospital".
I tried to lift the little guy, his right hind leg was just dangling. I pulled my shirt off and laid him down on it, he was clearly in pain, and all just went so fast. The first animal hospital wouldn't take us when we called, we had to take a taxi to next town and their animal hospital. He hates the cage, even when in such pain as he was and with my shirt in there to rest on, he struggled. He only did a little bit of whining though once we were on the road.
I know I cried already on my way there because, yeah, it looked bad. I told my family, who also were quite shocked and supporting.
Skipping a lot of boring waiting to get to a vet where I regularly checked on him. He was in a lot of pain and breathing short and shallow, I also noted he'd injured his lip. I knew when I saw that that he'd probably been hit by a car. We were lucky he even made it back home.
So yeah. The vet had a quick look and said it was bad. He was a good kitty all the time, like always, nice and bit curious. While we waited for the nurse so he'd get an x-ray done to figure out the extent of the damage, he finally did get something to relieve the pain. I held him all the time, my cheek against his head, paws in my left and carefully stroking him with my right. Till the pain reliever kicked in he trembled so much. He didn't move cause it hurt. Once it kicked in he calmed down a lot more, purred.
We helped with the x-ray and it didn't take a vet to see the injury, unfortunately it was clear to anyone with eye sight. The large thigh bone in his leg had snapped right off, the ends weren't even laying anywhere near one another.
Yeah. We asked what it'd cost and take to fix it, even if we were bawling our eyes out already. It'd been expensive, sure, but we've later come to terms with another reality.
He was too severely injured. It would've taken months and months of not over a year to go through the treatment she said he needed and even at that, if we had let him suffer through all that, there'd be no guarantees he'd ever be really well again, or ever the same happy nice kitty we knew. A last blow was when the vet told that she'd also found he most likely suffered from a heart miss function.
Yes, we let him be put to rest. He didn't feel a thing, he wasn't scared. He was as always very brave. He felt no pain and purred and kissed me back when we held him as he fell asleep and eventually passed away in my arms. I'd not have it any other way, I was by his side from the day we met and I was going to be there at the end.
It's sad, heartbreaking, that such an innocent happy and lively being is gone from my life, yes. I had dreams regarding my little Zack, things I wanted to give him and things he'd see together with me. In the end though, after what happened, this was the best we could do for him. All we did through his life was the best we could do for him. There's not a single regret. All the memories I have of all the small little details and traits that made him so special, all our moments, all stand evidence of a kitty that lived a rich, happy life filled to the brim with the love he received from everyone around him that he himself loved so much. He was part of a large family, even extended to Mesalia because of you, my friends, and thus across continents.
I've now said what I need to say so that I don't have to say it again. I appreciate all the support I've been given already, I really do. Don't ask what happened though. This post is here to answer it for you, to spare me some of the pain.
My life was already in chaos, it is now shattered. I don't know when, how or why I'd RP or admin again, be it soon to get myself back up soon as possible or days from now. I'll do it in my own pace and in my own way.
Love you, Zack, rest peacefully.

Fuck, just... fuck. I'm so sorry, Zark, this is just horrible. I can't even believe that the person who ran over your cat didn't even do so much as call you guys after it happened. That fucking asshole. I can't possibly know what you're going through, I also have a pet, a little dog. She's getting old as well, and just reading this brings tears to my eyes because it only brings the painful reality that I'll have to go through this as well.
I hope you feel better soon.

You take all the time you need Zarky... I know how I felt when my cat Oliver passed away.
We'll hold the fort here boss, and make sure everything runs smoothly till you're ready to sit on your throne again...
I'm sorry to hear about Zack, he was an awesome kitty who caused some good laughs in Mesalia, and we'll miss him.
Love, Conrad
