The little boy isn't going to be making it. His little body is shutting down and developed as far as he could. He had some genetic defects, no balance, it just wasn't happening and he was getting worse despite our hard work (mostly my wife's) to help him get by. Wife is taking him to be put down right now. This is one of those God needs to come explain this to me moments.

Oh Brandon, I'm so terribly sorry. What a beautiful little kitty he was.
There is no easy way to go through losing a pet, even when you know there's no hope, and I really feel for you and your family. It's a tough thing. You did everything right, and everything that you could possibly do to help him.
The only answer that I can give you to the "God" thing is that, as far as I've been able to tell, He doesn't micro-manage, but allows life to run it's course, good or bad. He intervenes in other ways, performs some miracles, and answers prayers, but not always in the way that we think we want. Having been the recipient of some of those miracles, I can attest to that, but prayers didn't save our sweet dog Gypsy either, nor my parents or sister.
Let's hope that your kitten will soon be chasing butterflies of the most magnificent colors beyond what our human minds could ever imagine.

Brandon, my deepest sympathies to your family for the loss of a beloved pet. It brings tears to my own eyes, so I can imagine how difficult this is for you, Patricia and your daughter.
Kitty is in heaven now along with all of our other beloveds, and as Moore said, chasing butterflies, free of pain, free from all the inconveniences of this mortal coil.
Hugs to all of you. You did the only human thing you could have done for that valiant and beautiful little kitten.
Well things are better, sort of accepting that for some reason (and God will be posed this question upon my arrival in Heaven) he needed to go on. It still sucks but we're doing okay. His sister is getting a lot of love now, so yeah. Strangely, mommy cat hasn't seemed to notice.

Well in good news, his sister is doing just fine. In fact, she's a snot. Got some funny pictures of her hanging out with mommy and daddy. I'll try and get those up. Ultimately he's in a better spot and has that stupid ass beta that died on us after 6 days to chase after.
