For those that have been following my kitten saga?

Question

I am not sure who all has helped me tremendous with the 4 orphan kittens that I took in a little over a week ago, but I wanted to say Thank you very much. Sad news, that I woke up this morning and one of the kittens had died during the night. My kids are still sleeping so they do not know yet. The kitten (his name was teddy) was suppose to go to a neighbors 9 yr old daughter. They are not home right now so they do not know yet. Should I tell the girl or tell her mother and let her mother tell her herself? I hate giving bad news but that is part of life that you can't always get away from.

Thank.s

Answer 1

You should let the mom tell her. She knows her own kid better than you do and will know how to handle it. If you tell the kid before the mom, the mom might get upset.

Answer 2

Tell the mom and let her decide how to tell her daughter.  I am sorry you lost the kitten but you gave it a good life while it was with you.

Answer 3

what a shame =[ the kitten was most likely the runt and in nature the strongest survive im afraid, i would let the mother know and then let her tell the daughter

well done and good luck with the other 3 =]
