OMG, this it horrible! I am crying too, reading this. Poor little guy and poor you. Good thoughts and (((((Hugs))))) are sent.

I don't think you could have done anything. The problem is that Ziggy should never have been an outdoor cat while being declawed, but what could you do? Nothing. He was too old to stay inside if he was not used to. I understand that you feel guilty, I would feel the same You gave Ziggy a good home -may be he even chose you - and love. He was happy with you, remember this.

RIP Ziggy Marley.
