My kitten Kuro... RIP.

My kitten died yesterday, May 20, 2012 at 8:45 am. She died and I had to watch her suffer because I couldn't do anything else to keep her alive. She was already half-dead at 6am and I tried my best to keep her breathing. She ate plastic and wasn't able to digest it. Cats have smaller intestines than dogs, so they would have a hard time getting it out of their system. Kuro was with me for only 2 months. I adopted her when I first saw her at Zeus' Burger, mewing at the top of her lungs. She was a black kitten with white whiskers on her front feet and 5 white hairs on her body. Her watchful eyes were green. I found her interesting, and since no one in particular claimed ownership of the animal, I decided to take her for myself. She was a quiet kitten that loved sitting in people's laps and purring while wrapping her tail around my leg or my wrist when I reach down to stroke her fur. My dog Akamaru loved playing with her, although she hated his guts and all her fur stood up on end whenever he approaches her. They became good friends eventually... Kuro didn't mind being tossed about or butted with the dogs head or getting slobbered all over. Kuro also used to sleep on my bed beside me. She comes in from her nightly prowls from the window and just curls up anywhere near me. I'm going to miss my cat. I cried while burying her rigid body under the window where she used to come into the house. I'm going to miss her. :(

Thats very sad about your kitten Kuro. Although I am unsure if a vet would have been able to help her they may have been able to put her to sleep so she didnt haveto suffer, there are lots of vets around at all hours which are usually able to help out. Again I am sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your kitten and you having to go through this. But why not bring her to the vets?. Many have emergency clinics and open at all times of the day and night.

Dogs are bad in maths - dogs are nice animals
YEs lately my own dog also get killed because the new neightbour construction destroy the fence and the dog went over the next door mongrels, dogs maths are bad, even like 3 against 1 the lone dog will go fight and get bad injured and die on its injuries.This few years dogs in my life is bad , some are stolen , some fall sick and some are die in street dogs fights.Thinking not adopting dogs anymore.

I am so sad for Kuro, such a pure and innocent being shouldn't be going all that suffering! You did an amazing thing getting her from the street when she was homeless. I admire you. RIP sweet Kuro, I will play moonlight sonata as a mourning sign.

Kuro means black in Japanese, it doesn't make any difference if the thing is femenine or masculine. In other languages, for example Spanish, "Black" can be "Negra" or "Negro" depending of the thing. For example: La mesa es negra. (The table is black). El coche es negro. (The car is black).

That's sad indeed... Sounds like you've formed quite a close bond with her even though you've only had her for a couple of months.
