I got up this moring to the bad smell a burst rat belly. Oh crap, right, well it was much worse. I opened Kitty's feeding box to find him dead. He had not eaten the rat and had expired sometime during the morning. I don't know why. he was fine yesterday, and was headed for a shed, so I wanted to feed him before that. I fed him his usual way. He was only about 3.5 years old and had no health problems to speak of to this point. I checked the temps in the box and they were usual. What could have happened? Today has sucked. I couldn't take him to the vet, it being the 4th, so I have had to bury him without any answers. Please help. This sucks enough just that is happend, it sucks much worse becuase I don't know why.
