Some of you have already read about Sebastian passing away
... it was posted in the Pregnant Cat/Kitten forum.
He was only 7-8 weeks old, and one of the bottle babies I took in several weeks ago. He was one that we were going to keep, because he reminded us so much of our RB kitten, Oliver Felix.
We still don't know what happened, Sebastian was playing and happy the night before, but when I woke up yesterday morning he was cold and could hardly stand up. I held him for a long time and he just sat and cried and yelled and stared at me. He never stopped staring at me. I cried harder every time he yelled, and just sat and held him and pet him.
Finally, I told him it was ok to go if he had to, and to go find the other kitties and dogs that are already at the Bridge. He took one more breath, and was gone... still never stopped staring at me. I buried him in our garden, so he'll always be nearby.
Sebastian's favorite thing was to climb up on the bed, walk across my leg and curl up on my side. Early this morning, I was still in bed not quite ready to get up yet. All of as sudden I could feel what felt like tiny feet walking across my leg and stop at my side. A check revealed none of the other kitties were there.... but I knew that already anyway. It was my little fuzzy boy letting me know he's ok, I'm sure of that.
RIP sweet Sebastian, you weren't on this earth very long but you were very very loved by your daddy and I.
