Thank you all for such sympathy and compassion towards my situation. It's been tough, these past few days. Let's just say that I had more than one emotional breakdown at school (and on the bus, at home, the shopping mall...). You guys have made me feel a little better now. Thanks! You are all so wonderful!
Moosmom: Gidget had apparantley been vaccinated againest it. They said that she probably had it before she was vaccinated though. So, can my other cats who have been vaccinated againest it, get distemper?

I'm so sorry you have lost your precious Gidjet! That's so sad!
And don't mind those at school who think you're crazy because you've cried over your kitty! When I lost my Katz, I cried all day at work and my boss removed me from the entrance hall. I went home later, I was just heartbroken. People who never experienced the love of an animal will never understand that!
To answer your question: As far as I know, your other kitties that have been vaccinated against pan leukemia before Gidjet has arrived are most likely not in danger. I think the poor Gidjet kitten has already had it before she got vaccinated, and unfortunately, the vaccine can lead to a break out when the cat is already infected. I guess this is what happened to the poor baby and her litter mates.
I'm sure she loves you for the 9 wonderful days she had with you!

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your precious Gidget.
It doesn't matter if you had an animal for 1, 2, 3, etc., 9 days or years, the loss is just as devasting.
Your Gidget was very lucky to have shared such wonderful moments with you. May the sweet memories of her, remain forever in your heart.
She was lucky to have felt the love from you in her short time on earth.
Rest in Peace sweet Gidget and enjoy your time at Rainbow Bridge.

I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss of sweet Gidget. Sometimes baby kittens are already sick and it just hits them so quickly before you have a chance to even notice. :(
I don't know about your shelter, but ours will allow you to adopt another kitty if it's only been a short time and the first one passes away. Maybe you could save another life from the shelter? Good luck, and I hope the pain of Gidget's passing soon ends. Please know that you showed her love and gave her a chance at a wonderful life ... there was nothing more you could have done for her. ;)

I know how you feel. My hamster died. I was SO sad. I remember when I first got him, he always used to pee on my sister! I miss him SO much. I know he is at Rainbow Bridge, too.
