it is not your fault it died. I have lost many baby chicks. Try raising them and feeling like it is your fault. It isnt. I know your upset. But it is all part of gods selective process. Just remember it is not your fault.

I know that this is going to sound extremely cruel and heartless, but you are right. It is your fault the baby blue jay died.
Your cat is not part of "nature." It is a domestic pet, an animal that you would keep inside if you were a responsible owner. First of all, if you keep it inside, it can not kill the natural wildlife. Second, outdoor cats are not safe, healthy cats. They fall victim to predation (by other cats, dogs, wild animals, and even cruel humans). They get hit by cars, injest poison, become infested with parasites, contract diseases, suffer all types of weather, or get lost.
Now, dry your tears. It is okay to have made a mistake, even when the mistake cost an animal its life, as long as you do not repeat the mistake. You feel bad about it, and you should, but if you learn from it, the baby bird did not die in vain.
Keep your cat indoors, and make your yard safe for the wild animals. Put up some bird feeders and a birdbath, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

It is not your fault or your cats. Baby (depending on the age) can not fly and once they fall out of the tree they are usually hurt anyway and the mom abandons them. It is sad, but at least you were there to comfort the bird. You did all you could and you are a caring person. It is in a cats nature no matter what we do to hunt little animals. Do not feel bad, but keep being such a wonderful person as there is not enough of them in the world.

Once again, THIS IS WHY YOU KEEP YOUR BIRD INSIDE. It IS your fault. And trust methis isn't the first time your cat has killed innocent birds. If you care at all for nature OR for your cat then keep the cat inside.

Baby birds are very fragile things, and the cat probably did some damage in the first place. There wasn't much left that you could have done for the baby bird.

It's not your fault, it's not anyones fault it is just nature.
This may help a little but adult Blue Jays will enter other birds nest and kill the babies and also eat the eggs of other birds.
Again this is just nature

It's not your fault. It was the cat bite that did it. They have something in their saliva that it seems like no matter what you do for them they wont make it. It's good that you were there to comfort that baby bird and help it pass peacefully.

It's not your fault nor the cat. The cat was using its instincts and will usually attack. The baby blue jay was probably startled and traumatized to death. They are very sensitive.

It's not your fault. It's your cat's fault. But don't beat your cat. It's just an animal.
