Caroline said: “I think she was hit by a car because I went to see her at the vet and had scuff marks on her paws but she looked perfect and they had wrapped her up in a blanket that said something like little miss mischief on it.

Her neighbour, who found Tilly in her garden, tried to contact Caroline but she was working and so the ‘lovely’ neighbour took her to the vets.
Caroline said: “I phoned the vets because I had a missed call from them and I said ‘what has she done now’ and that’s when they said that she had died and it was just such a shock.”
There have been multiple Facebook posts remembering Tilly and the impact that she had on people’s lives and there is also talk about people wanting to set up a GoFundMe to raise money for a memorial for the one-of-a-kind cat.
