My consolations to your daughter. Just let her know the kitty went peacefully in his sleep. That we could all go so well, rather than the way too many of us end up with, cat and human alike.
Both Frisky the wonder tigress and I send you our sympathies.
They are with us such a short time. We lost two in our household this December, Patch on the 2nd (intestinal tumours) and Sandy on the 18th (some feline version of a stroke). The house just seems empty without them. Both of us have been multiply ill with dental problems, back problems, colds, flu, chest infections, you name it - just one thing after another. The bank accounts have been emptied by medical and vet bills and basically its just been a miserable couple of months all round.
My daughter lost hers Xmas eve morning same way natural. Really put a damper to things but proud how she tried not letting it spoil her holiday. She had her Oreo four 12 years.

Roughly a year ago today, our beloved thirteen year old tabby cat, Leo, passed away. It was sad stuff and I can relate to what your daughter is experiencing.
About a week later I decided the house was too quiet without a pet, so I brought home a 12 week old Siamese. He has turned out to be the most alpha and destructive cat imaginable, but an absolute joy.
Give your daughter a big hug.
While they are declawing the cat just have them rip out your fingernails and toenails.
Cats are some of the best people I know.
Mutilating them because your furniture is more important is so wrong.
I made a scratch setup for my cat. She loves it. She has mutilated it.
You took the time to post that your cat died,
better yet your daughters cat died.
I want your type of life, so simple and unencumbered by nothing more serious to announce to the world that your daughters cat died.
Some General that led troops in battle, passed. A war monger so who cares... your daughters cat died
Your president during one of the most dangerous times (financially) just signed an executive order raising the pay of the VP, congress, and federal workers,
but your cat died....
Not to mention everything else that is going on in the country
WOW.... Just wow!
Having said that; several of the no-kill shelters around Red Hampshire offer wonderful kittens and cats that just need a good home...many have been abandoned by owners who didn't realize that 'cute kitten' was a fifteen or twenty year commitment. Ask your local pet 'box store' if they have special adoption days where you can come in and visit with them. I know shelters in Concord and other areas have open houses that allow you to check out potential adoptees. Many of these cats have already been declawed, and are just looking for a warm home.
So sorry that she lost her precious pet.
Personal story.
I had never owned cats, only dogs, until I was nearly grown. About that time a neighbor’s cat began to visit. I was at home a lot during that time, and this cat’s owner, a young woman about my age, had moved away to pursue more education, and her mother was always gone at work, and her father and mother divorced and he moved out, so there was usually nobody at home there.
so the lonely cat took up with me. When she died about 3 yrs later at 15 yrs of age I was heartbroken. But it caused me to for the first time get my own cat, a shelter Russian Blue mix which my mom named “Katerina”. Katerina lived 19 yrs and two months. When she died, again I was heartbroken, in a different way.
While I was still mourning and in no shape to go shopping for another cat, a half-starved young one from the ally, that apparently hung out where a woman was feeding a whole bunch of homeless cats and they were all flocking, came onto my radar screen. Make a long story short, I eventually won her trust (she was semi-wild) and she’s been my cat for about 10 1/2 yrs. I named her “Kachina Rose” and she is totally black and very beautiful. Still lives outside though because that is all she ever knew before I adopted her and all she ever wants to know.
I’m sorry for your daughter’s loss.
May she find happiness with another...God bless.
Sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry to hear that, my condolences, I lost one, Whitey, my half Snowshoe Cat, two months ago so I know what it is like. It is so hard. BTW, I also had a black cat who liked to open doors as well. I also had another that did that, a little, diluted calico with green eyes, she lived to be 19.
I’m really sorry to hear this. It’s really hard to lose a beloved pet. FWIW, it sounds like at least he died quickly, probably with no pain. We have gone through the stress and turmoil of several geriatric cats with cancer lately ... sigh. So at least you were all spared that.
I love black cats, have had several and I think they tend to have really interesting personalities. When your daughter is ready for another cat, it might be good to get another black one. The shelters have a very hard time adopting out black cats because so many people don’t want them. If you can save a black one from a life in a shelter or from euthanasia, that would be a good deed.
