I totally agree.

To sirrahbed & catcrazylady, I did not assume anything in my post, I simply asked if my fears were correct (and I still hope I am wrong) and asked several (still unanswered) questions about the care of the kittens in question.

I do wonder at anyone who described their pets death as
When it was dying it screamed occassionaly
and did nothing...What would you guys do if it was your cat dying over that seven day period, would you just watch ? Of course not your cat would be at the vets within hours if not minutes.
