It can't be fun all the time...
Today at the shelter I had to deal with a dying kitty. She stopped breathing while we waited for the manager to get the ambulance ready. We thought it was too late already. But as I pet her limp body she gave a loud sigh and started breathing again. I was excited for a minute, but it didn't look good. It was obvious she was in a lot of pain...
Turns out the kitty was going in shock, and had some fractures (possibly ran over), so the vet decided to put her out of her misery.
It was really sad but I felt silly because I had to shed some tears for a cat I never met before in my life. (she came in saturday so I hadn't had a chance to see her till today) Good thing the people at the shelter didn't think less of me for that heh, on the contrary, it seems everyone who dealt with the kitty was affected to a certain extent.
Not a nice way to start the week, they said...
Luckily the rest of the kitties I had to deal with were very much alive and kicking, and they were all sweet to me and cheered me up with their little miauwtjes, purrs and curious pawsies grasping me by the robe. I made sure to give all of them some extra lovin'.
