Ticka I am so sorry to hear about your kitty
You really did do the best thing by telling your little girl the truth. I know how tough it is to loose a pet! Especially when you are a child, they seem to have extra special bonds with animals and the loss of a pet can be very heartbreaking indeed.
My father had to take our "Missy" (she was a greyhound) to be put down a few years ago, and it still grieves him to this day. I miss her very much, she was like my baby, and I know I will never replace her, but I now have a kitty I love to bits. Give it some time and your daughter will be glad your Kitty did not have to suffer in pain. Take care Ticka
