Looking for answers and blamimg myself..(sad)

I'm so sorry to hear about Fluffy!
I lost one of my 3 kitties in January while I was 2000km away visiting my
mother. I'd been gone 3 weeks longer than I'd expected and Cassandra died
the night before I'd finally decided to come back home. As it was, I was
too shaken up and ended up staying 3 more days before I was able to make
the drive back.
I completely understand and empathize with your feelings of guilt. I feel
the same way thinking that if only I'd come home after staying away only a
week as I'd originally planned, I could have somehow saved her. It's been
a little over 8 months since it happened and I've only lately been able to
talk about her without crying.

There's only one thing better than getting what you want...
Getting what you want and pissing someone off at the same time.

signs there was no way you could have known there was a problem. One of
my mum's cats (he used to be mine, long story, but I was very attatched
to him) was put to sleep last week following complications from an old
injury which had never been detected. My stepfather is blaming himself
but - as with your cat - given Charlie never showed any symptoms before
collapsing how could it have been detected?
Cats worm their furry little way into your heart and then leave it
broken. At least Fluffy had a good home and was loved, and I'm sure you
won't forget him.

sure Fluffy will thank you for the love and kindness you displayed, not for
