Context: When my daughter got her first cat, it only lived with us a few weeks until it was hit by a car.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about how a few years ago, we lost our cat.
Speaker 2: Oh no!  What happened to it?
Speaker 1: It was the first time he had gotten outside and he didn't come back that night. He was hit by a car. :(
Speaker 2: So sad!  I am sorry.  Don't feel too bad its natural for them to want to be outside.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that.
