About 30 minutes ago a kitten passed away from unknown reasons.
I am really sad because I had faith he was feeling good. But I was wrong.
He was playing going to the bathroom also eating fine. He was also following me around the kitchen yesterday begging for food. I don't get. I want to do the possible for the last kitten and give him everything he needs.
Though I did notice he was a bit sad but it did not stop him from playing.

I am very, very sorry for your loss...you tried so very hard. Sometimes the deck is just stacked so high against them, their time with us here on earth is cut short. As I learned in the free, online video "Critical Care for the Sick Neonatal Kitten" at maddiesfund.org, there are many unknown causes of death of kittens, especially in the first 3-4 months, and that, collectively, is called "Fading Kitten Syndrome". It happens a lot within feral colonies; I have had up to 21 kittens at the beginning of the season and ended a year later with only 3 or 4 - the losses don't get any easier. I lost a little guy early this past Sunday morning and it still hurts so much. However, watching that webinar (it is intended for vet students, veterinarians earning continuing education credits, vet techs but the instructor includes verbage for the benefit of lay cat guardians) was very comforting and healing. Godspeed over Rainbow Bridge, little kitty - it is some comfort that Jen54 let you know the joys of being in a real home, in safety and love, with good food, pets and snuggles, toys and play.
