Oh Barney, how absolutely heartbreaking for you. How did it happen? Did you reverse over her or something? I have heard of that happening more often than you would believe. So, so sad. You mustn't beat yourself up about it though...your little girl wouldn't want that. What was her name? And you must believe that she is still with you and always will be...just hold on to that thought.
Re this system: Foxes will not climb over the netting but if you have gaps at the bottom of your fence, you must address these before you start. A row of secured bricks or chicken wire sunk into the ground should suffice.
Trees with branches that overhang your garden will have to be pruned back...but all this is for discussion once you have decided on a kit. Just remember, nothing is insurmountable provided you are prepared to carry out the work.
Often it comes down to a straight choice between the garden or your cat. My husband always says: 'Your tree will grow again but your cat never will' (And I know how hard that last remark must be for you
)
Please believe me when I say I know exactly what you are going through because we developed this system after I lost my own beloved Ruby, an F3 bengal, on the road in October 2000. She was just four years old. I don't think I had a happy day for five years following that.
I wish I could take the pain away for you but I am absolutely convinced that we will all be reunited with our little loves again one day:
There is a little verse that always gives me comfort whenever I think of my babes who have passed over and it is this:
'Those that we love and have lost
are waiting for us
in a place without parting
where we'll never
have to say goodbye again'
Hugs and thinking of you at this sad time
