My point wasn't that they deserve to die. My point was is that I'd miss them when their time eventually comes. I think she stopped properly using the cat box when we got another cat (the younger of the two) who turned out to be a bit of brat every once in a while when he was a kitten. He's better behaved now these days. I don't blame her for not using the cat box, most females who have a male introduced into their territory will stop using the box unless provided another one, in a separate room. I've been down that road. She seems to think he'll use both (and eventually he did). So I gave up on having two cat boxes. Besides, I find acid-treated concrete easier to clean up than carpet or grooved tile. So I'm not taking the time to re-teach her to use the box.
I know that wasn't your point! I was trying to commiserate. I love kitties so much that I would cry like a little baby too when your kitties die, and I don't even know them! They are the most wonderful creatures on earth.
