our 8 week old kitten died suddenly tonight, my girls were playing with her and she was fine, just before she died the girls said that they took her to the bathroom to use the litter box, which they have done lots of times and they said that she did'nt have to go so she ran out of the bathroom and ran into the living room and went under the bottom shelf of my computer desk, and when they brought her out from under there she was limp and could'nt get up, they brought her to me and she looked like she had broken her neck or back or something, I tried rubbing her to stimulate her and giving her mouth to mouth and she kind of rattle breathed a few times but it wasn't enough, we took her out and burried her under the back deck, it was hard on the girls, they have never seen an animal die before, I looked under the bottom shelf of my computer desk and it is an open area, there is at least 4-5 inches between the bottom of the shelf and the floor and there are no sharp edges anywhere so I can't figure out how she got hurt.

I'm so sorry to hear this! I have no idea what could have happend. Maybe there was something wrong medically. I'm just so sorry for you and your girls! It's never easy to loose a furbaby, especially one so young and so quickly!

There are no power cords under where she was, they are all on the opposite side of the desk.

In my own world, its much nicer there
Oh I'm so sorry for you and your girls. It is not a pleasant experience to see a pet pass away, especially for children. But while you were giving the kiyyen mouth to mouth, you can have peace of mind, knowing she passed away in loving arms.

I am surprised myself that I did the mouth to mouth, I have a phobia about being sick and am scared of anything that could make me sick, which putting a cats face in my mouth could do but I did'nt even think of that until after, of course now I feel sick cause I am so worried that I might get sick.

So sorry your girls had to see that. Is there anyway possible the girls might of accidently hurt your kitty? (how old are the girls?)

RIP you sweet kitty....

I'm so sorry for the lost of such a young kitten. Since her death was so sudden, I was wondering if she didn't have an undiagnosed heart condition that caused her to go limp and stop breathing???

OMG that is terrible. I am so sorry for your loss.

My first thought was that the girls yanked her out from under the desk, and that is how she got hurt. Were you watching them?
