One of my pet kittens have died

It was a very sad day indeed.My pet kitten have died of a strange sickness.She died on monday.Apparently the medicine my mother bought for the cat did not work and it was very expensive.That day before she died on Sunday, 5Feb 2006, my mum,my little sis and my older brother decided to take our kitten(which happens to be the child of our earlier cat whom we gave it away to someone else as it was causing a lot of trouble and have problems with my mum.We gave 2 kittens and the mother cat away while keeping the other three at home.) to the vetrinerian at Simei.I did not followed that day since it was better if theygo without me since i will slow them down.After the initial visit to the vet for health check up and the purchase of the medicine which cost about 40 odd dollars,I though the kitten's health would become better(My brother call it Dude thinking it was a male but i doubt that cat was a boy.Its too difficult to tell.).The other two kittens are fine.But this cat was chubby and look malnourished.We tried feeding her but it reffuse to eat.The cat just doesnt want to eat or drink or even play with it's sibling.My brother applied some medicine to the cat and it will have to be given to the cat 3 times a day.But I can't tell whether it works like human medicine cause it refuse to drink the medicine.Well,the very next day on Monday,after sending my Sister to school,I return home to find the kitten in serious critical condition.It's eyes is wide open and bulging out.it was still breathing but the cat could not move.It lay on her bed motionless as if it's paralysed.I tried to make her stand but it fell back on the floor.If it was a human in a terrible condition like that, we could have called the ambulance and sent him or her to hospital but unfortunately, animals are usually treated as second priority in Singapore.We applied some medicine to the cat but her condition worsen by the time it was afternoon.My mother was worried but we could not do anything.I watch the kitten suffered a silent ordeal as it remain silent and motionless.Itried to move the cat around hoping it will respond by moving.I heard the cat mew when i lay her on her bed.That was the last mew i ever heard from the cat.By evening,she was dead.Her body becomes lifeless and it was not breathing anymore.Plus i could not feel her heart beat anymore.

We decided to burry the kitten right near the place where our late cat,Belang is buried which is in an undiclosed area.I helped my brother to dig up a small hole to put her body there.After filling up the last gap in the hole,we surround the grave mound with rocks so we shall always remember where the cat was burry.It was too bad it died.It was so young and barely lived for three months.Well i hope the cat will rest in peace.
