Thanks for the replies, some more use than others. Just to clear a few
things up:
We cared for our cats well during their lives and would never have
dreamed of confining them to the house, ill or not. A cat is a free
spirit and ours enjoyed life indoors and out, I would consider it
somewhat namby pamby to keep them indoors or in an enclosure. The older
cat (almost 20) probably isn't greiving since she did not get on too
well with the other (now dead) one, they tolerated each other. She was
frail so never went far from the house laterly hence we are mystfied as
to where she might be, if she has died I guess we might find her
remains eventually but we live in hope until then.

If she comes home, please keep her inside from now on

It's no use. It's one of those idiots with the "Be Free Wild Thing" mindset.
Stupid people should try not to breathe.

I hope you'll keep your next cat indoors or in a protected outdoor
exclosure.

Do you realize that the "free spirit" mentality results in the painful death
and serious injuries to thousands of cats every year? The same "free
spirit" mentality also believes that cats have the 'right' to reproduce
freely- which also results the killing of thousands if not millions of
unwanted cats every year.

I consider allowing 17 and 20 year cats to roam free reckless endangerment
and gross negligence.

Have you considered the probability that she died a violent and painful
death as a result of your stupid, idealistic mentality?
