Motor went to the Bridge last night......

    Motor went to the Bridge last night......

    Motor, who was brought home yesterday morning, went to the Bridge sometime last night. Nothing seemed wrong with her when I put her in the bathroom last night. She went into her kitty bed and that is where I found her this morning.

    I am terribly shaken up. I have no idea what happened. She was spayed on Monday and she was fine, as far as I knew. She was drinking, eating, peeing and pooping. There was nothing she could get into in the bathroom. I was crying when I told Sebastian that his Motor went to the Bridge. I am crying now. This is so unfair. She was a sweet kitten while we had her.

    Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. I am still in shock and thinking back if there were any signs that she was not ok. Nobody roughed with her. She was fine and happy when I put her to bed last night. My husband says she might have had internal bleeding that we didn't know about. I do not know. I was looking forward to many years with her. I keep blaming myself for doing this. Maybe if we didn't adopt her she would have been fine. I know that isn't true. No one could have forseen this. I am so devastated. It has been a long time since I have had to deal with a pet dying. The fact that it was a kitten, makes it oh so much harder. Sebastian asking if he could pet her again was heartwrenching. I still keep thinking what did I do?

    Chewie, my first thought when seeing her was "Oh god, no." So your thoughts exactly.

    How awful.  I'm sure you're totally stunned.  It's amazing how fast we can bond with pets isn't it?  You're in my thoughts

    I'm so sorry for you and your son and your entire family. So sad to hear...such a sweet kitty.
     
    I am guessing that yes, there was some post surgical blood poisoning or a busted internal stitch or the like.
     
    Are you doing a necropsy or?
     
    Please don't second guess your decision to adopt her...She was loved and had a home when she passed, that is truly what any animal wants

    Thank you for those kind words. I am doing my best not to second guess the adoption. She got the best cat bed in the house. Nobody wanted it but her.  Motor was such a sweet kitten. She was always purring and wanting loving. I know that she got loving, food, water, and a warm, soft, cushiony place to sleep.

    The vet offered to do a necropsy but I declined. My husband is going to have a ceremony with Sebastian tonight. DH kindly took care of the body before anyone else could see her that way. She is being buried with her bed.

    I am so sorry. I lost my `7 year old cat back in the Spring, and you are never ready.  But some how losing one so young seems worse.  But she died knowing someone cared and that is so very important.
