We have several cats, my favorite being Moonshine who was only 10 months old. My 7 year old son was apparently playing with her in his room. She was jumping in and out of the food bin. I'm not sure what went through his mind, but at some point she jumped in and he closed and latched the lid. Some hours went by, we were all out of the house. Then we discovered Moonshine still in the food bin had suffocated to death. I am torn up with grief and guilt and while I know it was not intentional I don't know how to handle this with my son who caused her death. I thought he was old enough to know not to do things like that. I just can't look at him right now. My whole family is torn up over losing her like this. She really was our favorite cat, she had the best personality and just was so lovable. I was at work and the rest of the family was attending a wedding during the time that she was dying. I just don't know how to handle this and I'm just crushed.
