This was not something that 24 hours ago I thought I would be posting.

On the 5th of Jan my youngest female Tales (see my avatar) gave birth to 5 live beautiful kittens - she was a great Mummy and very attentive. She has been losing weight, but has still been exceptionally good with the babies. I came home last night at 11pm and found her stiff, lifeless and close to death. I rushed her to the vets but unfortunately it was too late for my little girl, we suspect an internal bleed. My precious baby who loved life so much. I promised her that I would take care of her 5 babies.

My head has been spinning all day - in 14 years of breeding I have never lost a breeding cat so young. She was my beautiful girl. Just a few hours after returning from the after hours vet my step dad had a stroke and he is very ill.

I just need a hug and please please never forget my beautiful girl.

You can see more of her here

RIP Telling Tales. You're always in my heart.

So sorry about Tales.
I can not believe that you lost her so young.
You sure are having bad luck with your dams.
I am crying for her also.
I am here for you anytime.

Please don't think that you failed her. It's awful, but some times death comes early and suddenly. You gave her a good life while she was here, sometimes that's all that we can do. I'm so sorry.

Oh, Sam, I'm so sorry to see this, hon! She was a beautiful girl, and knew nothing but a loving happy home while she was here...no, you didn't fail her, not a bit. Nature can be cruel sometimes though, taking the ones that we least expect.

You did NOT fail her sweetie, you are not a mind reader.
I am so sorry that you are going through this.
I know exactly how it feels to lose a kitty so young and so quickly without warning. She was loved, don't ever forget that.
