Goodbye, Duke

Duke (boy)

Duke

Duke passed away last night. He was nine weeks old.  We’ll know more about the cause of death when the results come back from the lab in a week or so.

We’ve lost kittens during birthing or shortly thereafter, but this is the first time in ten years of breeding that we’ve lost a kitten at this age. We know that statistically this sort of thing is bound to happen eventually, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less.

Goodbye, Duke. You were a sweet boy and we miss you already.
