What a fucking cruel joke fate played on me with my poor boy. He passed away yesterday

Yesterday it was raining since dawn and I saw him quite bad, I thought that maybe the cold had hurt him and now he had a cold and that's why he couldn't or didn't want to stay awake. He couldn't stand up properly, he didn't seem to have the strength to do so, he didn't meow either, I tried to give him water and food but nothing seemed to catch his attention, I even bathed him with warm water (please note that even today it is still raining where I live) he was so bad that he agreed to let me bathe him and dry him with my mom's hair dryer

Believe me, I seriously considered taking him to the vet downtown, but it was too far away and the rain wasn't helping. Some streets flood too easily and quickly here.

I searched the internet for what to do but I didn't know what was wrong with him in general, we didn't know if he was poisoned by something or if he was choking on something. And at 6:00 pm the worst part began, I thought he wanted to vomit and I tried to help him, his breathing was very fast and he was barely moving.

And at 6:15 he died in my arms, my little Artemis (that's what my mom started calling him) went in my arms with me trying everything to help him. His eyes turned black from how large his pupils were, he stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating.

And I feel like it's a fucking cruel joke because when I found him on the street and brought him home in my arms, I couldn't stop thinking about how someone could just abandon such a tiny cat. He left the house as he had arrived, in my arms, looking at me with those blue eyes I loved so much. His time in my life was short, but it still hurts, and it will hurt me when I think about his short life. Thinking about how little I could have done for him and what I could have done to help him

Now I have him stored in a shoebox, and I plan to bury him in the yard. I don't have the heart or the courage to throw him in the trash as if he were part of it. He was part of the family and deserves to be treated like a member of it

Awful. I'm sorry you had to experience that, OP. Know that the way we treat animals when they're helpless or dying is indicative of our character. As romantic as it could have been to save and nurse him, some things are unfortunately just not meant to be. If what you've said is true, then what you did was the most you could have realistically done to try to give him some comfort in his last hours. I too would struggle to conceive of burying him anywhere other than in my garden, let alone dispose of him in the rubbish. I hope you're able to gain a sense of peace and closure soon.
