Sad 
My cat (Kitten-Kitty) was hit by a car last year during the cold winter. He was gone for three days... I thought he was gone forever. Then I called him one moring at 5:00 am, he came running! I went upstairs with him, he loked kinda ratty, and there was dried blood in his eyes. We took him to the vet right away.
He was almost dead - dehydrated. The doc said he was probably out cold for a couple of days... he had a broken jaw and other smaller wounds - we had to wire his jaw.
He is better now, but it is funny to me how much that effected us, especially when compared to losing my father in law a few weeks back, probably the most important person to me outside of my own family.
I think it is because cats (and dogs too I guess, etc.) live such a mysterious life... my cat spent much time hunting mice and robins - a very good hunter. Slinking along at night in the still cold quiet, how many stories was he never able tell me?
