kitty
today i woke up to somthing terrible
my phone rang and it was my mom, my neighbor had called her and told her that a cat that looked like ours was injured in the street
i imediatly ran outside to see if it was our cat twitch and to my horror, it was
she had been hit by a car and was unable to move her rear legs, she was fully alert and when she saw me she began to meow at me, i picked her up and took her to my front porch, wraped her in a towl, and sat with her waiting for my mother to get home, that 20 min i was alone with her was one of the most terrible things i have had to experience in my life.
she seemed normal, proped up on her front paws, looking around and meowing, it was not that low painful meow you would expect from an injured animal, it was her normal interation meow, if it werent for the blood on her fur you would not know she was hurt.
finally my mom got home and we got her to the vet, i have never driven that fast in my life and if you know me that is saying alot, when we got to the vet dr. jean (a family friend) came in to look at her. she felt around a bit and shot my mother an ominous look
"she has no feeling"
she said quietly as we moved her back to the x-ray room. when the x-rays came back we found out the reason she seemed so normal, what ever had hit her ran completely over her and destroyed one of her rear vertibrey and the reason she felt no pain was because she was completely paralize from the lower chset down and all of the meowing was not from discomfort, it was just her being confused as to why she could not adjust her hind legs.
in order to save her the suffering she would have latter we had to put her to sleep,
so as my mother and i stood infront of her, petting and holding her they gave her the shot, i held her as she sliped away in my arms the i said my last goodbyes and layed her down
my beautiful kitty was gone, my sweet pretty kitty had been taken from me, she was only two years old
i dont understand why every time things start to fall in place in my life something else i love is ripped away from me in a violent dash. becareful, because if you are reading this you are most likely my friend, and i love all of my friendsm so for your own good dont talk to me, you might end up dead too.
