To you believe that cats can die of a broken heart (must admit I don't). Just read this on another forum:
Notes: I won't give any names, but you should know my story. I was adopted by a guy for a Christmas present for his little girl. I was quite happy...until she went away to college. I was happy for 5 years when she left. Mom and Dad couldn't be bothered with me so they returned me to Elizabeth Lake Animal Rescue. They said I did nothing wrong, I was a good cat. They just didn't want me anymore. I was so upset, I quit eating. Depressed, I became very sick. Surgery to put in a feeding tube was done at the vet, but I was so sad that my family had given up on me, that I gave up on life. We at ELAR just hope one day that they read this and know what they did to destroy the will to live of this wonderful girl. Animals aren't disposable. They have feelings too. She died at least knowing we loved her, even if her heart was broken by the uncaring humans who had originally adopted her. She died less than 2 months after she came to us. No bad habits. Just didn't want her anymore. Well, they got rid of her all right, didn't they. Hope the daughter doesn't learn to solve unwanted problems like her parent did.
