Thank you: I'm sure my apartment will pass inspection. My apartment is a piece of art, with unique art lights embedded in beautiful vignettes that I've created everywhere. I can't describe it, but everyone who sees it says how beautiful it is and that I should have tours, though the number of people who have passed through here is actually very small since I don't know that many people. A lot of work it's been, with tons of lights & glue sticks and imagination. I should say that everyone EXCEPT for the Section 8 people love my place, since say that so many lights present a fire danger, so I won't turn them on tomorrow. When I get a digital camera I will take pictures of Mama cat, babies and apartment and share the photos on The Daily Kitten, who I now consider part of my extended family.
I want to add that I've been giving profuse little kisses to remainder of my cat family and one kitten in particular even knows how to kiss back. My way of saying how much I love the kitties and telling them how sorry I am. I will never get rid of these cats no matter what happens. Whomever told me how much a comfort these kitties would be if I kept them was spot-on.

*A big, soft, furry calico cat carefully approaches you. As it is obvious she is a Rainbow Bridge kitty (she left this world two years ago), she does not want to startle you. She is carrying a post card sent by one of Rainbow Bridge's newcomers - a sweet little kitten who wanted her bring you a message. On the front of the card is a brilliant rainbow that stretches over a lush meadow. On the back of the card is a single paw print. The calico purrs softly as she offers you the card, her green eyes trying hard to convey the message the kitten wanted her to give you - that he is alive and well at the Bridge, and that he loves you and does not want you to feel bad. The cat gives you soft, comforting purr-meow and turns to go back to the Rainbow Bridge*

Bless you Owl Watcher. To your beautiful calico cat I give a return message for my kitten from Mama cat, her siblings and me: Please wait for us as we all miss you terribly. I know we will all be joyfully reunited one day. I now name this departed kitten Angel after all the angels on Earth I have met at The Daily Kitten. One day all of us (both human and animal) will be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge and we will all continue to be a blessing to each other forever. I cannot thank everybody at The Daily Kitten enough. Thank you, thank you, all the members of my new family.

Daily Kitten Family: I passed my inspection! Thank you everyone for your support! I was a little fearful when my inspector noticed one of the banks of switches for my art lights and asked me to turn them on. Two years ago one of the inspectors objected to my art lights and told me to get rid of them. This time around the inspector LOVED my art and told me it was the most beautiful apartment he had inspected! He said that he wants to be my inspector next year to see what new art I have created! Their reactions could not have been more different. Mama and kittens and Angel say thank you for all the love you have shown us! Now it is time to name the rest of my cat family since we are all here to stay! Again, thank you to all The Daily Kitten Family; you have my love always!

That's really good news SAS, very pleased to hear it!
Has anyone explained how to start another thread here on TDK, or about the other threads going on? It just seems very sad to see your thread title come back up to the top of the board, especially when you have something to celebrate!
To start a new thread, just select fromt he general headings at the top of the main page - General Chat for example - then scroll down until you see a box to put your new thread's totle in and a larger box for the text. Type away & hit send - easy!
You'll have already seen there are a number of threads running at any one time - there's usually at least two that occur every day, the Cafe and the Nighshift, where general conversation is the name of the game. Other threads tend to be more subject specific. Please don't feel shy about jumping in to a thread, just click the one that's of interest, and post away!
I look forward to seeing you on one of the other threads soon! :o)

Great news SAS, you and your little family have a really wonderful home together. I'm with MCW, you might want to think about starting a new thread when you tell us the names of Mama Kit and the little ones. And maybe...just maybe...you might want to change your screen name. You came to us as "Sad and Sorry" which I totally understand, but now we are getting to know you and to me you are the Kitty Poet (or insert name of your own HERE, lol). Have a good evening my friend...

Yesterday we acquired two unwanted kittens for my children. The cats were siblings, one male, one female. Tonight, while I was working on a vehicle, they snuck over to me. I saw one, and picked her up. I *thought* the male was on the porch; but I didn't verify. I moved the truck and tragically fatally injured the kitten. I'm not a vet, but am familiar enough with anatomy and physiology that there was no chance of recovery. I, as gently and painlessly as I could, helped him pass on, and gently laid him to rest under a tree. My children are 7 and 8, and fully understand the concept of life, death, and our beliefs of the afterlife; but I couldn't bring myself to tell them that their father not only severely injured his pet, but had to put it out of its pain. I explained that cats are born primarily as predators and sometimes they return to their wild instincts and leave regardless of their love for their owners. I've hunted and fished my entire life, assisted in butchering at farms, but never have I felt so heart-torn as I am about this kitten. I'm not necessarily expecting understanding from anyone nor am I expecting atonement for what I did tonight. I write this simply because I cannot express my actions to anyone in my household. thanks for reading.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It was obviously an accident. You did not intend to hurt this little one. Unfortunately, these things happen. It is OK to grieve and feel regret, but please don't beat yourself up. We do understand your situation and you will find support here. Good luck with the other kitten. You might want to consider making this kitten an indoor only cat to put your mind at ease. Please keep posting and tell us more about your kittens. :)

Accidents do happen Volatile_geek and you did the best you could in a very sad situation. You most likely had the knowledge from your hunting experiences to enable you to help the wee one on his way quickly and painlessly. It would not have been easy at all so I'm glad you were able to express yourself here. I hope it has been a help. Do you think you might get another kitty as a companion to the female. Do let us know how the female is getting on as she grows up. Come back and chat with us.

Accidents do happen, and you were there to help this little one cross the Bridge without any needless suffering. Please don't blame yourself, it may have been meant to be and the baby was called back for an unknown reason.

Hello I know I'm posting this a couple of months after you need help for you grief but I wanted to tell you it's completely alright and accidents happen, regardless of how sad they make you. My little brother had an equally sad situations with one of our young kittens my other brother had found skinny and starving in our neighborhood and took in. He was such a sweet little kitten we had named Oscar, and about a month after we had him (he was probably 8 or 9 weeks old and an outside cat) my younger brother was on his way to soccer practice when he realized the kitty had been sitting inside the wheel cavity of his truck. Needless to say beautiful little Oscar (I called him squish face because he had a Persian like face and was absolutely adorable) had passed on and my brother felt awful.
I hope you've been able to move on. Good luck, and you're definitely not a bad person.
