My cat died | Poor Penmanship

Goodbye, Kitty

Betta died this morning.

She came inside with a punctured eye. I do not know how it was punctured. The vet believes it was another cat. Atticus has no blood on his claws or fur, but that does not rule him out.

The wound caused a lot of blood to enter her sinus, and she inhaled too much. She died at the pet hospital.

I don’t have much more to say about it right now. I’m in disbelief.

Betta was a good cat. I loved her.

Damn it Erin. I cried when I read your tweet. I cried when I read your blog. I cry when I think about it. I’m so sorry.

Darling picture. I bet you were the best cat mom to her.

Erin, I was so sad to read this via Craig’s Facebook page. I’m so sorry that you lost your Betta.

I’m so sorry. Losing a pet is heartbreaking all on its own without such a sad story with so many questions to go along with it. Again, I’m so sorry.

So sorry. Little fur-coated angels is what they are. And that doesn’t make it hurt any less to say good-bye.

I’ve been lurking on your blog for a little while, but wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. She’s such a pretty cat x

I’ve been reading (and enjoying) for a while, and like Beth, wanted to commiserate. Hugs to you.

From another cat lover, I’m so sorry. That just makes me want to go find my cat and hug her. Which she will hate.

Oh Erin. I’m so sorry. Thanks for being a good cat, Betta. Thanks for loving her, Erin.

Supportive thoughts to you and yours. Not only were you fortunate to have Betta for the time you did, she was lucky to have you, too. Excuse me while I go pretend I’m not tearing up over this.
