Rest in peace my Gianni

Today my Father woke me up saying that Kinji had been hit and i needed to go get him. His body was in front of the neighbors house. I was thinking that it was odd as I could still feel Kinji's, 'presents' and this would not be the first time he had mistaken a cats identity. No it was not Kinji, I later found Kinji asleep on one of the pillows in the backyard. No the loss was one of my feral cats. Gianni had been struck so hard that his body had been tossed 8 feet, i saw all the splatters, this is a residential area the speed limit is 25 MPH yet he was hit so hard that they left pieces of plastic from their car. I am trying to make this as coherent as possible, but it is hard to type and cry at the same time.

Gianni was such an incredibly handsome boy, He was affectionate to the extreme with his LOVE ME and ONLY ME ways, He would play with all, spar with all and still stuff his face in every ones food dish while they were eating.

My Carmenkatra is now in deep mourning.
She went to where I had laid him so that they could say their goodbyes and know Gianni would not be coming back, She was his sister and I think they had been playing when it happened, I don't think she was hit but is showing signs of pain i examined her when she was holding up her paw shivering. She growled at me but not in an I'm in pain way. I was a very lonely sad sound. Since I had seen paw prints nearby I think they were hers
The rest sniffed and then went about their business.
I am going to miss him he was such a clown but I know he is now with his brother Frankie
Rest in Peace my Gianni you were only 1 year old.

Oh, what a heartbreaking loss of such a wonderful boy! Hoping you and Carmencatra remember the sweet times more than the sad times.
