That is very young, he probably had some hereditary issue that was fatal. It's sad, but you have to just know that it IS nature's way, and be at peace with that. It's always sad to lose a baby. I lost one traumatically many years back, and I will probably never get over it totally. Her momma dropped her while moving her behind the stove, he head caught on the gas pipe and wedged her by her neck against the wall and the pipe. I think it broke her neck, she didn't last long, died of respiratory failure... classic spinal injury progression, just got harder and harder for her to breathe until she took one last gasp and died. It was VERY sad for me. This was one of Moogie's sisters when her litter was first born. I've lost several due to "nature", unthrifty kitten, selective process, whatever you want to call it... and I saved a few that by all odds shouldn't have made it into adulthood. You win some, you lose some, but one thing I have learned, you can't beat life, or death, eventually you suffer losses, no matter how many successes you can conquer. You just have to pick up and go on.
