Dear, Dear Hideyo,

Just what did you do?  You tried to help the baby - the best you knew how
to at the time - no one here would EVER condemn you for that. It was not
intentional - you are too good of a meowmy for it to have been on purpose.

Sometimes these things just happen and all we can do is understand what
happened, learn from it, and gently forgive ourselves for our mistakes.
Our kitties understand this and they don't hold it against us - they know
you would never hurt them on purpose.

Please be gentle with yourself and let us know the details when you can
type thru your tears. I am sending you gentle hugs, and gentle prayers for
"Bella's Baby" to find my Baby Callie at the Bridge. I'm so very sorry.

Kat (Mew Jersey)
