Ive had cats all my life but they died at a good age...this is so bloody unfair he was still a baby...cats protection estimated his age at between 2 and 3 years old.

That’s terrible. How very very difficult, it must seem too much to bear. I am very sorry for Buster, for you and your son.

I am so very sorry it is heart breaking, it happened to one of my boys a few years back and the only small comfort I could find is that it would have been very quick.
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy.
