It’s not easy

The caregiver called me this morning and Triffles the little tortie girl crashed hard. She rushed her to the vet clinic, but it was to late and Triffles passed away. I gently questioned her as to what happened and she told me she had picked up Triffles to feed and thought she seemed extremely warm. She fed her, then before she put her back in her bed, she took out the heating pad…..sigh…and replaced it with a plastic bottle filled with hot water and wrapped that with a cloth. Her thinking was this way the kitty could move off or toward the heat if she got to hot. The problem was that the kitten has to be kept warm at a constant temperature or she will become cold and her organs will start to shut down. So the little tortie girl is with the angels now.
