Gidget died Tuesday

[WishKittens]

Tuesday morning was a day I will never forget. Dear, sweet Gidget died that morning (before we had a chance to get her to the vet) in my arms. I keep seeing her little face - so innocent. I only had Gidget for nine days: nine truly wonderful days that I will never forget. The Humane Society (where we got her from) said that two other kittens in her litter had died too. Sooo sad. They said that the cause was 'pan leukemia'. Anyone know anything about this?

Oh Gidget, I miss you. Since I only had Gidget for nine days, I didn't get very many pictures. If any of them are half decent, expect to see Gidget being COTD sometime in the future.

God, I'm starting to cry. I know that she is at the Rainbow Bridge now. Rose is looking after her. I can see them, sitting beside each other up there. Gidget....

I miss her so much. I had an emotional breakdown at school today, during grammar class. People thought I was crazy, crying like that. But thats okay, because I love Gidget.

And I miss her, and Rose and CiCi, so much.

Have fun at the Bridge you guys. I love you. Someday, we will be re-united. Someday... Thank you babies, for all the times you blessed my life. Whether is was 6 years, two and a half years or nine days.

I'm sure that she was welcomed with open arms by all the Rainbow Bridge babies.

{{{hugs}}} to you WishKitten.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Gidget knew you loved her during her short life. Have fun at the RB Gidget.

There doesn't seem to be a connection between how long you have been owned by a cat and how much it hurts when you lose them

It is scary how quickly these creatures take hold of our hearts.

Rest In Peace sweet Gidget, enjoy your new life on the bridge.

RIP Gidget

She passed, knowing that she was loved, which I am sure meant alot to her and will carry that with her to RB where she will have lots of fur babbies to welcome her.

Well said, CatDad.

I'm so sorry for your loss, WishKittens. {{{Gidget}}} Frolic well at the Rainbow Bridge, sweetheart.

WishKittens,

Panleukopenia is the medical term for Distemper. It's fatal to kittens, unfortunately AND it can stay airborn for a year if the room the kitten was in was not disinfected properly.

I have lost kittens to distemper in the past. It's awful. There is no cure once they get it. I had a kitten die in my arms and another that died on the way to the vet. You need to quarantine the room where Gidget was in off to any other kittens. Scrub down everything with Clorox (not the cheap stuff, but Clorox) Bleach. You can use 2 parts water, 1 part Clorox and put it in a spray bottle. Do not take in any other kittens for at least 6 months.

I am so sorry to hear about Gidget. My heart goes out to you and precious Gidget.

WishKittens, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Gidget knew that she was loved and you'll meet again some day. Remember that she'll always live in your heart. RIP sweet baby Gidget.
