When I went outsite to feed my outsite cats I found Jeremiah right next to the food bowel dead . He must have laid there already for a while since he was stiff . I don't know what he died from . All I know this is my 2nd cat what died unecspectet (sp) , and the one missing what we think also dead . My husband thinks that Jeremiah was also poision . How can you see after you find a cat that it was poision ? Any one know ? I am just really hurt , how can people do something to a animal so cruel and mean . I don't understand that . Why ?????

If it is cold enough at night that the body was frozen you can take him in and have a necropsy done.

I am sorry you have lost another cat- but at least this death brings closure, you are left wondering what happened to Jeremiah had he vanished totally.

Hedi, I'm so sorry! Poor Jeremiah. And if he was poisoned, what an awful way to go. As you say, who could DO such a thing! Lotsa love and healing vibes coming your way.

Oh Hedi how horrible! Like hissy said, if you could get a necropsy done (like an autopsy done on humans) they could tell you if poor Jeremiah was poisoned. If it was poison, then you could go to the police or an animal control center and someone from there could maybe investigate and hopefully put an end to it so no more animals have to suffer so cruelly and die.

Unfortunately, there are alot of sick, cruel people out there. I'm so very sorry for your loss, and pray that nothing likes this happens again to your cats.

I don't know what to say. I am not married and all my maternal love goes into my cats. To me it is like losing one of my children. My heart, love and comfort goes out to you.

Oh Hedi, I am so very sorry. This just breaks my heart to read you've lost another one. I hope you can have a necropsy done and get some answers.

Thank you all so much .

I ask my son to burried him in the morning . I can not just dig him up again , I think I would have a emotional break down . I should have taking him this morning right away to the vet for a biopsy , but all I could do is cry and grieve and was not able to think clear .I was just heart broken. I could not even buried him myself

Oh Hedi, I'm so sorry!


I know you are grieving, but I would really suggest that you call animal control and tell them that you suspect someone is poisoning cats in your area. They may have recieved other reports about it and can add it to their files, even without anything more at this point.

I am so sorry to hear that you have lost yet another cat in such a short amount of time.
I am hoping that he wasn't poisoned,so that your other cats won't be in danger.
Again,so sorry.{{{{{Heidi}}}}}

RIP sweetheart.


So sorry to hear this.


You did your best for him and he knows it. He's watching over you now, free from the cruel parts of this world.

Take care.

I'm so very sorry about the terrible grief you must feel over the loss of Jeremiah. What a horrible experience that must have been to find him. It is beyond me how someone could be so evil to a precious kitty. I'm just so sorry.

You must be heartbroken. Just know that he is in a beautiful place where he is surrounded by love and where no one can every hurt him. My heart goes out to you.
