But I know. I always feel guilty as well as heartbroken. You did everything you could, including trying to treat the fleas. That can be difficult with cats because they are sensitive to pesticides. None of it was your fault. You're probably the best cat mom in the history of cat moms.

And yes cats are prey animals and are usually very sick before we can see it. I'm speaking from bitter experience.
