Sadness from the loss of a kitten

Disclaimer - this is a sad post and I'm crying a lot while writing it.  I can't edit very well with tears in my eyes, so excuse any misspellings or grammatical errors.


Miss Grey <3


Little Miss Grey had a short life.  I found her this morning (Aug 27, 2015) lifeless.  She was cold so she must have passed away right after I put her and her siblings in their cage for the night.  She had been acting a bit punky yesterday.  In the morning she was her normal loud energetic self.  By afternoon she was more subdued.  In the evening she was very subdued, but still ate and acted like a lower key version of herself.

Yesterday afternoon
Purrito bowl
She was the middle of the kitten sandwich/burrito bowl when they all settled down for a nap after eating.  I thought it was adorable.

Wet food is best food Omnomnomnom
She had a good appetite the whole time.  I have no idea what happened.  Some people think she may have had a heart condition, or some other internal condition that finally reached it's breaking point yesterday.  There were no clues that she had anything wrong with her.

Pixel making sure they don't escape
Pixel was always nice to Grey.  Always licking her face and keeping her clean.  Not that he was mean to the others, but he was more gentle with her.  I think he knew something was wrong with her and was just trying to keep her as happy as possible.  She seemed to like him, so it was heartwarming to witness.

Grey stalking Pixel, who thought he was well hidden.  Ha!
One of her many attempts at escape
She was only in my life for a short while, but she will be forever missed.  I buried her under the tree my mom and I planted 14 years ago with some of my dad's ashes.  He will take care of her now.

Good bye my sweet kitty
