Answers:
get a necropsy done try a state operated lab rather than a private lab.less $$$$. That is the only way that you can determine if kitty's death was genetic or conditional/contagious. Keep kitty refrigerated then send FED EX on dry ice for preservation of the body
aww :(
poor kitty
why didnt you take it to the vet?
they would have told you what was wrong
you should go and ask the veterinarian that way they can tell you and while you are at it you should take the others for a check up
take your animals to the vet for their vaccinations
I would call the vet. They know best. I'm so sorry about your kitten.
feline leukemia virus disease complex
(felv)
This is the leading cause of death in household cats (second to trauma). Initial illness lasts 2-16 weeks. Symptoms include fever, apathy, loss of appetite, weight loss, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea. Some cats might develop enlarged lymph nodes or anemia. Every exposed and infected cat has three possible outcomes (each as likely as another): 1) This lasts for less than 12 weeks, and the cats develop an antibody which cures them of the disease, they cannot transmit the disease, and have a normal life expectancy; 2) The virus remains present for over 12 weeks, and the cats become susceptible to other FeLV-related illnesses which are invariably fatal (about 50% die within 6 months and 80% within 3.5 years); 3) These cats develop a latent infection that eliminates the virus from the blood and saliva but doesn't extinguish it completely. The incidence of latent infection after 3 years is quite low, though it may recurr during periods of stress or concurrent illness. These cats are susceptible to FeLV-related diseases. You should have your cat vaccinated and tested often, and annual boosters are needed. It's recommended that FeLV-positive cats should be removed from a mulitple-cat household, and that they should not come into contact with women of child-bearing age and individuals with immune deficiency diseases (although it's never been reported to have been transmitted from cat to human, lab tests show it's possible).

poor kitty...
the best answer for that is to bring them all to the vet if u have more cuz it could've been a birth effect (if it came from a cat of yours or a frined or somewhere) but it might be good if you brought ur cat(s) to the vet...
