For some of you this might sound childish... but most of you who know me well, also know how I must feel right now.
We lost our tomcat Salem today. He got hit by a car a few hours ago. He was dead at once... and I'm thankful he didn't have to suffer.
Salem made our life more colourful. He was playful and cuddly and I'm still sure he had a good feeling for when I didn't feel well. His death was a shock for me and Shira.
Some of you might say now, that he probably would be still alive if we would have kept him in the house. With our move into the Black Forrest we talked about this a lot. We do not have very dangerous streets here but still there are streets.
We decided to let our three babies out into the pretty wilderness of the Black Forrest and they loved it.
All three of them seemed much more happy and content outside.
Salem died... but he died free and I'm glad he didn't die in captivity.
We will all miss him dearly and I'm sure those of you who knew him well, will do so as well.
