I loved to play and cuddle. I was so happy to have a furrever home with my humans and my furry brothers and sisters. My human family hoped I'd be a companion to them and my human baby brother for years to come.
I found so many interesting things to play with and see all around my house.
I was an important part of my human family, and sometimes I thought I was human too.
I was very curious and loved to play in my backyard. Sometimes I would chase bugs and leaves, or just explore. My family said I was such a good kitty.
Last Sunday, I saw a mouse, so I caught it. I thought that's what I was supposed to do. I thought I was being a good kitty. It was just three days until I'd be ten months old. I thought my family would be pleased I'd caught the mouse. But someone who lived nearby had used mouse poison instead of traps or electronic pest deterrents. The mouse was poisoned and I ate it. I died too. My family is very sad.
The people who used the mouse poison probably didn't know it could kill other animals who might get hold of the mouse. My family didn't know either. But mouse poison can kill cats, dogs, and birds of prey if a poisoned mouse gets outside and another animal catches it or plays with it. My family doesn't want this to happen to any other family. They miss me very, very much, and they worry about my furry brothers and sisters and other families' cats and dogs also. So please, for me and for my family, don't use mouse or rat poison. The life you save could be YOUR furry baby's or the furry baby of someone you love. Please let others know also to use mouse traps instead of poison. If we all spread the word, other families won't be sad like my family is. Other lives will be saved.
My name is Kamari. I had a wonderful life for ten months. It didn't have to end this way.
