R.I.P Gloworm, my 3.5month old BSH kitten was very sadly put to sleep today following a fall from a cat scratching post (it was only a small one) I'm struggling to understand how this has happened and not coping very well with losing my little guy.
R.I.P baby boy, mummy loves you and will always miss you

    Oh no this is such sad news, what a shame for such a young little cutie too. I am looking for our british shorthair who I can't find just now, she was one year old last week and I want to give her a headrub.

    So sorry to hear about this and i can't believe how it could have happened. Do you have any pictures??

    Poor poor little baby. Thinking about you.

    That's so sad. It's somehow worse when they're so very young. He was so sweet.

    RIP little Gloworm.

    So sorry for you too welshsarah, it's horrible when we have to take that decision for our pets but it's the last and kindest thing we can do for them.

    Hugs to both of you.

    So, so sorry to hear this Bellarooo, Gloworm was a beautiful little kitten, what a sad thing to happen.

    You may not have had him for very long, but he will live on in your heart forever.

    RIP Gloworm

    Thanks guys, our first night without Gloworm was awful, his brother was crying and my daughter is distraught and asking why we took Gloworm away from her, I keep breaking down :-( I have only ever gone through this once before with my 2 year old Moggy Tia who was still young but I never dreamed I'd be doing it to a 3month old kitten :-( my head is so messed up

    Oh sweetheart - I remember your threads about Tia.

    What awful luck you have had.

    But please try to take some solice in the fact that you have made both Tia and Gloworm very happy in their short lives....

    I can only imagine how shocked you must be, especially given the nature of Gloworm's accident.

    I can only extend my sympathies and send some big cyber hugs your way.

    xxxxxxxx

    Thanks hun, losing Tia broke my heart and I feel like I neglected Gloworm, maybe if I hadn't left the room I could have catched him so he wouldn't have hurt himself, I can still see the hurt look he had in his eyes when I held him, I didn't have him for very long but the love he gave me will stay with me my whole life just like it has with Tia

    I lost a kitten to a car accident a few years ago so know how you feel.

    I know it's a cliche but things will get better over the following months and years though you never forget them

    It wasn't your fault and don't think for a second it was.

    You sound like a wonderful 'cat Mum' but Gloworm just had an unfortunate accident. It's a hard enough time for you without you blaming yourself!!

    I hope you other puss helps you find a little peace in this horrid time and of course you will never forget Tia and Gloworm

    I honestly have no idea how it even happened, it was so quick and I really don't understand how a small fall has killed my baby :(

    In time maybe you can discuss it with the vet as I agree it is a little odd?

    Maybe Gloworm had some sort of condition? Or maybe he just fell awkwardly but the fact is it happened and nothing could have changed or prevented it, so please do not go down the route of self blame - it will just make grieving harder?

    I hope you can take comfort that Gloworm was at home, in familiar surroundings and with you when it happened - I am sure he will be glad of that! BUT there was nothing you could have done differently. Kittens climb darling, this was not your fault :o

    I feel for you, I really do. It is so tough losing a pet, but losing them so suddenly and tragically must make it feel even worse.

    Please take care of yourself and your other kitty and your daughter - settle down tonight and have a nice cuddle all of you together

    xxxxxxx
