Kim Kardashian Grieving Over The Death Of Her Kitten

The death of Kim Kardashian's white Persian kitten Mercy last week, a gift from boyfriend Kanye West, has the reality starr still in mourning, according to TV Guide.

Kardashian announced the death of her kitten, Mercy in a blog post with pictures of her with the four-month-old kitten.

"It is with deep sadness that I have to tell you all that my kitten, Mercy, has passed away," Kardashian wrote. "My heart is completely broken."

Kadarshian realized she was allergic to cats and was unwillingly forced to give it to her sister Khloe's assistant, Sydney, said a report in TV Guide.

"When I first got Mercy, I had never lived with a cat before and so I had no idea that I was allergic," she said. "I thought that it might pass, but after a few weeks I decided to go visit two separate allergists, one of whom said my allergies wouldn't get any better unless I started taking injections."

Kardashian felt it was not safe to take injections and wanted Mercy to get a loving and caring keeper and hence she chose to give it away.

"I had fallen SO in love with Mercy that I wanted to try everything I could to keep her, but I didn't think it was safe to resort to injections, and it wasn't fair on Mercy, because I couldn't play with her or give her as much attention as I wanted to," she explained in her blog post. "Mercy deserved a mom who could really give her the time and affection she deserved. I knew that Sydney, Khloe's assistant, who had recently lost a cat she had loved and cared for for 17 years, would be the perfect mom for Mercy and Sydney was so excited to have Mercy as her own!"

In a few days, the little kitten fell ill and was taken to a vet. The doctor told Mercy had a rare form of stomach cancer and nothing could be done to save her, said Kardashian. "Poor little Mercy died the very next day. It broke not only my heart that little Mercy died at only four months old, but Sydney's too."

"Mercy was a gentle and loving kitten and we are all going to miss her so much. Thanks to Sydney for making Mercy's short life one filled with love. RIP Mercy Xo."
