I am so sorry for your loss.
my deepest condolences and sympathy go out to you.
think of it this way- the little Niblet had a great life while she was in this unforgiving world-and now shes at the Rainbow bridge, so she can always be happy.
i bet she'll be waiting for you.
+ it was Very kind of your neighbour to bury her in his yard. what a nice guy.
i had to bury my cat peanuts at a rented house- we didnt have a choice really- and now we can't even visit his resting place because the tree stump has been torn up.
Nibbles is so cute (i still say is, because although she may have shed her mortal coil, her soul will forever be entwined with your heart, and she will be playing until you get to the RB, so in my world, that makes them alive )
Never think about how she died, or how young she was- just think of the huge kitten eyes and all the fluff, and the cuddles etc that comes bundled with the whole kitten package.
RIP you little Niblet it's RB for you
