Kitten update-Chance

I didn't want to do this...especially so soon. Chance had been doing so well and had just started to eat solid food. Today, I took him out of his crib to let him play and I briefly took my dogs outside. When I returned to get the phone.. I heard a squeak. To make a long story short... Chance passed away after I accidentally stepped on him. Nothing could be done. It happened instantly. I am upset and have been crying all day long. I tried to go to work today and they let me come home. All this time...saving his life when he was first born, then rushing him to the vet when he nearly died from an illness...just to die by a freak accident.. I feel like it's my fault, because I should have kept him inside his crib. Or at least kept him in the other room instead of bringing him back into this one where the phone is. My sister blames herself for calling me, but how could she have known? It's weird...because it still feels like he's with me. I can almost 'see' him trying to walk around the floor, biting on something. He would have been seven weeks old on Monday. I am so so sorry, everyone..

Hi writersolutions10, Yes, kittens are cute. But they can also be a handful. You constantly have to watch where you step (a painful lesson I learned several months ago) because they can be anywhere when allowed to run free on the floor. And as kittens are, they will find ways to get out and explore. It's their nature to do so.
