Horrible news

We lost Gracies kitten, Angel, about an hour ago. The sweet little girl passed away in her sleep from what we do not know.

I am truely devastated by this, I fell in love with her. She was 6 days old.

Gracie is sad, you know that was her only kitten. She keeps getting into the box with her(we're leaving angel there for her to understand she is gone..) and licking her, then meowing at her and waiting for her to get up.

I feel terrible for both her and angel.
I wish she could have at least lived long enough to open her eyes and hear.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you and Gracie are feeling better soon.

I feel so bad for Gracie. Reading how she acts around Angel's body is so sad. I can't imagine how it would feel like losing a child when it was only 6 days old.

Oh, the poor thing.
Sending you lots of

Reading about how Gracie is reacting is breaking my heart! You poor things. I'm so sorry.

So sorry to hear. Me & Isis send Gracie & you our condolances & many hugs.

I am so very sorry for what you are going through. Prayers go out too you and Gracie, lots of hugs

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...lots of hugs and warm meows from Hunter and me!

Awww poor little one - I'm so sorry for the loss. I really thought things were going well.

AWWWW....poor little baby...poor Gracie...poor YOU. I`m truly so sorry!

We send you and Gracie love encouragement and hope

Oh my gosh, this was so sad to read!!!! I'm so so so sorry!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss, bless Gracie's little heart.
Rest In Peace sweet little Angel.

Oh hon, I'm so sorry. Losing any kitty is hard, but especially one so young. Just keep remembering that in her short 6 days she had so much love. Be there for Gracie, now. She's going to feel lost for a while yet. Hugs to both of you!

Thank you everyone. Yet again I am writing in tears since it have been exactly one day since Angel left us.

Gracie is doing very bad today. During the night she moved angel from her box to the middle of our living room, my mom came out and saw her watching over the body.

After she stopped watching over her body and left, my mom removed Angel and placed her in a blanket in a box.
I came out hours later to find Gracie sitting in the living room with her head hung low, staring at the floor where Angel had been. She is lost in her own world right now.

She's taken to laying on the chair in the living room all day today, not sleeping or resting, just laying there on her stomach watching and grieving. She is not even purring if we love on her, like she usually does. In fact, she has gotten pretty distant, and will turn her head away from you. I think she just needs time to mourn over her loss.
Every now and then she will go check her box to see if her baby has returned, and is depressingly disappointed every time that her child won't return her calls.

I feel horribly for her, if I am feeling this terrible about losing Angel, I can't even imagine how she feels, losing her only child.

Thank you all again.

Thought I would share the touching picture I have of Gracie and Angel together, on her 2nd day on earth.



nothing greater then a mothers love

I hope this does not sound crass or unfeeling, but have you asked a vet or shelter if one of them might have a baby that needs fostering? It might help poor Gracie not to feel so lost, and save a little life in the process.
I hope she is feeling better.

I actually thought the same thing, it might be just what Gracie needs.
Bless her little heart.

I like the idea of seeing if you could foster though.
