    Sad, Sad Day.....

    Despite all of our efforts to save this seven week old baby...today she passed on. I just don't understand. She was gaining weight, eating well, drinking well, playing....and this morning we found her laying over her water bowl with her face against the bars of the cage, dead. I tried so hard. I really did. I feel so horrible. My poor Lil' Sunshine. At least now she is with her siblings at the Rainbow Bridge. We will miss you sweet Sunshine.

    Oh NO - she was doing so well, and such a scamp! Tracy, I am SO sorry! It's double the heartbreak when a kitten is doing so well, and then just dies.

    ANY idea what happened? Would the vet know?

    HUGS HUGS HUGS to you!

    I'm so very sorry, Tracy, it must have been dreadful for you finding her like that especially when you already thought of her as one of your own. You did absolutely everything you could to make her healthy and keep her alive, and she did have time to have a little fun with you. Are you wondering now if the mother cat did sense something was wrong with her kittens?

    OH NO!!!!!!!! Not Sunshine! I am SO SORRY!!!! You did everything you could for her ... maybe it was that awful fading kitten syndrome.

    HUGS,

    Thank you everybody. Lizzie, I am not sure if Dot knew something was wrong...I am guessing so though. She did end the lives of the other ones. I really thought Sunshine was going to make it. I didn't know I was so attached....I think of her and I get all choked up. I feel as if I failed those babies. I know I did my best, but what if I could've done better? Like Mandu said:

    Tracey,

    I'm so sorry about Sunshine. I had hopes for this little one. For some reason god knows when it's time to take them, I have yet to figure that out. My prays are with you.

    Thoughts and prayers coming your way from Nebraska.......... I know how hard it is. I only had our precious little Pebbles for three days last year, and my heart still aches for her. Maybe she and sweet little Sunshine are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge now, with all of Sunshine's siblings..........
