Hi all...
Sorry, I really need to vent on this, please bear with me...
I take 2 or 3 times/ week walks in the neighborhood, and there is a house about 4 blocks from here that has about 15 or 17 cats, all outside , most of them 3 or 4 month old kittens. I can tell they do not take proper care of them, because I've seen them since they were born, and many have problems, 2 had eye infections ( and today I realized one of them is blind...).
Well, this afternoon I was walking my dog with my daughter in her bike, and one of their adult cats came out from their neighbor's fence dragging herself with her 2 front arms. It's so hard for me to ever write this, but... here goes ... she had no movement from her waist down, she had pooped and the poop was sticking to her fur, the 2 hind legs were dead, and I think I saw some thick blood coming out of her. She was probably in shock because I could easily approach her, even my dog, and all she wanted was to drag herself back home, and she was trying to get under a gate but she couldn't. I rang their bell many many times, nobody home. I rang their neighbor's , nobody answered. I felt like taking the poor cat to the emergency, but I was walking, with my daughter with me, no way I could carry the cat without risking damaging her even more.
I pray to God her owners got back home soon and took her to the emergency !!!
I feel guilty because I could not do one thing to help that poor cat ...
I am sorry I don't have an ending to this story... that's what happened, and I am so sad because of that.
I will go back there first thing tomorrow, and hopefully I will be able to bring better news, but for now I just needed to vent and share this sad episode with people I know would care as I do.
Prayers for the beautiful black cat tonight, please !!!
