Cuteness overload, btw.
Very true... Guess I never thought too deeply into it. I was quite surprised that momma cat kept pushing her out of the group, and she seemed very irritated that I kept putting the little one back (she was so cold). Poor thing just didn't seem to have the motivation to want to push her way in to get food or warmth. It sure does seem as though momma cat knew what was to come. I had a harder time accepting it than she did, thats for sure.

On the happier side of things, the remaining five kittens are doing great! All are nice & plump and noticeably larger

Oh, and thanks, btw.
