Rest in peace Runti.

You're short life was a hard fight, I really hope you will have it easier wherever you are.

I wished she was hand raised. This may be nothing like tigers but my cat had 6 kittens and one was skinny just like Runti. He wobbled when he walked, at one point he couldn't keep his head up. I swore he was never denied as well, I saw him eating. But I took him out of the litter and hand raised him. Each day he got stronger and two weeks he got huge! But I also had a cat who got skinny and died of a blood parasite so you never know. I guess it's just nature taking it's course.

Sorry I wrote that comment before watching. I thought you just let her die. I don't hate you, your awesome and I love your videos. Also, thank you for trying to help Runti :)

@TheArmo1 You are really a pathetic and inferior human, rather subhuman

My opinion, Runty should have been given to a Zoo. We don't need to document everything life has to offer. Everybody knew, the cub probably would not make it in the wild.
