Ah Geez - How Sad...

I don't know what could have happened, but I think a dog or something may have gotten into the yard and killed the poor baby. I heard a ruckus going on outside last night between cats & dogs, but didn't see anything when I went out to check what was going on. But I think that must have been what happened: the Momma was trying to protect her babies from some stray dog..

I was already starting to get attached to the babies: now I'm crying like the big boob that I am...

May his/her little soul rest in peace.

Thanks for your kind words, and for understanding - even if I am a big boob.

I had my s/o bury the baby (b/c I'm a big boob and couldn't handle it

) and he said it didn't look as if the poor baby had been attacked by anything. We've come to the conclusion that a snake may have gotten to the baby, b/c my s/o said he saw one the other day when he was doing yardwork (he almost got nailed by it himself). I haven't seen any of the other babies since the night we found the dead one, so I think that Momma Cat probably moved them somewhere else. I sure hope she did, anyway; I sure don't want anything bad to happen to them either - even if it does mean we'll have more mouths to feed.
