It was a neighbor who had been outside . Fiber had been struck by a car. My son ran out and initially thought it was another cat. Upon closer examination, he realized it was his beloved Fiber. Tim, obviously very shaken and upset, carried Fiber into the house cradling him like a baby.
Fruit is now permanently an indoor cat.
He is grieving the loss of his brother, his protector, his friend. His appetitie is down, but he recieves tons of pets and treats from his compassionate owner who understands what Fruit is going through. Unfortunately, no pictures of Fiber are available. Dear Bo, T hey say when someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Words can not begin to express the bond we two had.
