Bandit
I remember how nice she was
How she loved to cuddle
The way she would ask to get up
I remember how she would hit you with her head
As hard as she possibly could
But you knew that it was cause she loved you
I remember how she used to love to go outside
Walk around with you
Hunt for insects
I remember how her and Speedy
Were the best of friends
Always together, constant companions
I remember looking out the window
Seeing her standing there
With that look of terror
I remember thinking they wouldn’t hurt her
Grabbing some rocks
Opening the door
I remember they were gone
I wonder for a moment
Which way they went
I remember running around the house
Seeing them there
Ripping her apart
I remember screaming at them
Telling them to let her go
Leave her alone
I remember how she almost looked relieved
Reached towards me, breathed
Then meowed and was silent
I remember thinking
I can’t leave her here
Can’t carry her or I will hurt her more
I remember time crawling
How it seemed to go so slow
Then all the sudden fast
I remember looking around
Trying to find something to carry her on
Seeing a board
I remember looking at her
The glazed look in her eyes
The blood trickling from her mouth
I remember picking her up
How she was already getting cold
And the horrible rips and tares, bare bones
I remember running into the house
Leaving the door open
Grabbing the phone
I remember trying to think of who to call
I was home alone
No support, No one to help
I remember trying to call my mom
Her phone was off, so I called Willow
Willow called the vet
I remember my mom coming home
Mad that I had left the door open
And then her seeing bandit
I remember answering the phone
It was the vet
I told him it was too late
I remember listening to my mom
Cry in anguish, breaking down
Me not registering any thing but that sound
I remember being very mad
Going to the man that owned them
Yelling at him, crying at the same time
I remember him telling me he was sorry
To hold on a minute
He would be right over
I remember him coming over
My mom, Willow, My brothers
And who I think is his girlfriend were there
I remember my mom yelling at him in fury
My crying, Hamish and Bob fighting back tears
I remember punching the wall in frustration
I remember the ring I was wearing breaking in half
When it impacted the wall
The sound of it hitting the floor
I remember putting her in a box
Taking her over to Willow’s
To meet her final resting place
I remember I didn’t want to pick her up
To have to touch her lifeless body
To have to bury her
I remember my face being stained with tears and dirt
Pushing dirt into her grave
Touching her soft fur one last time
I remember him trying to pay us off
Roses, Money, offers of friendship
None of these would bring Bandit back
I will always remember what happened
The images are burnt into my mind
They haunt my dreams.

This is about how when I was much younger my neighbours coon hounds came over to our house and ripped apart one of our cats in front of me. =( I just found it on an old account and wanted to share it.
