I'm sure you've all heard about the Ghostbuster Kittens, At about 5PM EST little Peter kitten passed away in FDJ's arms

Ugh, I was there when Pete died.

John couldn't stop crying...and I don't know how *I* managed not to.

I watched the DVR a bit, did not expect it (I've been cuddling with my little Skitter all day, she's helping a lot right now). At least little Peter will have lots of feline family up in kitty heaven. (We've lost so many cats and kittens on the farm that we like to think they found the forever sunny summer fields filled with mice and other fun things to chase.)

Yeah, something should have cued me in when someone said "It's so peaceful and quiet in here.".

It just didn't hit me, until John broke the news.

I LOVE the Rainbow Bride poem, have you read it?

[iamtequila]

I haven't read the poem, I'll look it up now. (I'm actually still reeling a bit and I watched the DVR... I'm being hit with memories of losing my other kitten, my tendy, who was practically my familiar.)

So, so sad. It's amazing that in all the time he's been fostering, he's never lost a kitten before. I had to turn it off, cause I can't watch his siblings alone in the box - worrying about when the mom cat will be back..

[agentbethbonsai]

Me too!

Did you watch it live or on the DVR?

[aviv_b]

DVR - a friend called me when it happened - I had been making dinner.

[agentbethbonsai]

I can't even begin to wonder what he's going through...

[agentbethbonsai]

Oh gott, I know, right? ;3;

I watched the DVR and I'm barely holding it together. I was so looking forward to seeing Peter's zoomies when his eyes finally opened. He'll have Honey for company now.

(RIP Peter)
