Cat question

[Medusa]

I have no idea why it wasn't taken to the vet. They said they were afraid of it??

Afraid of what, the cat or the vet? It's doubtful they'll do a necropsy if they wouldn't take the cat to the vet when she was sick. I'm so sorry this happened! I saw something like this when I was newly married. The neighbor's little boy dunked their kitten in a container of kerosene (he's probably serving a life sentence now, the heathen) and the poor kitten went crazy. Ran to my house and when I picked it up, it ran all over the place, climbed the walls and stuck to the ceiling. I wanted to take it to the vet but I had no transportation; my husband had the car and he was on alert at the AF base. They let the kitten go and the poor thing died. Perhaps this cat got into something and drank/ate it. RIP, poor little thing.

My niece is 13. She wasn't at her grandmothers when it happened. My sister told mer her grandparents were afraid of the cat, and that is why they didn't take it. I told her I would have put a blanket over it. I have no idea. My niece is upset about this, of course. My sis told me they were thinking of taking it to the vet to get it checked out, I haven't heard from her since so I'm not sure if they did.
