Hi There, You really shouldn't feel guilty about putting the flea medication on the mother cat, it should go on the back of the neck, i don't think it would have killed her, i would have to agree with your husband, thinking that she is ok somewhere and just wondered off, have you checked with your neighbors perhaps one of them have taken her in. You could also try putting an ad in your local newspaper under lost and found, maybe if you have a picture of her post them around your neighborhood. We have several cats all indoor cats and one had got out and we looked for days, we went door to door looking, i even called the police dept trying to report him being lost, they did take a descripion of the cat, i think they thought i was tapped in the head, but we did find him 4 days later and he was just across the street hiding and scared. so don't give up hope, I hope you find her soon.

Hi, Im so sorry for your loss, I feel your pain, my cat pass away 10/13/10, just a few weeks ago, she was only 2 1/2 years old. We found her when she was 4 weeks old inside of a bulldozer engine that my husband was operating at the time thank god he heard them crying. Im assuming she was abandoned by her mother. We brought her to a vet to find out she had a very bad heart, so we bought her to a cardiologist for a tests but were told she only had 6 months to 3 years max, she had medications daily. And I tried to get her a heart transplant (i know im crazy) and was very willing until i was told i would have to adopt another cat that would be a match to her and have that cat put down and take the heart. I just couldn't do that to another animal. So we decided to just give her the best life we could for what time she had on this earth. but we still knew someday she would pass we were not expecting it at all when it happened. We brought her to the vet because we could see she was in distress, so i had asked my husband to go have her put down and he ended up coming home with her and the vet gave her meds to clear the fluid from her lungs and pain pills, i believe the vet knew she wasn't going to live long and pretty much sent her home to pass. and she passed the following day and im so happy he didn't put her down she passed in my arms but it was the saddest thing to see. I cry daily for her and also look everywhere for her so i know what the pain feels like and my heart also hurts with chest pains. Your Bill is not really gone just out of sight she will always be in your heart forever as my Emily will alway be in my heart. Im not the best person for advise i just wanted you to know your not alone, Your Bill looks like my Emily. Emilysmom
