a sad day
we got 2 little kittens a few days ago. sisters from the same litter. 2 adorable little black kittens.
this morning, leslie sat down in her rocker/recliner chair not knowing one of them was under it. it crushed it's skull, broke it's neck, and fractured ribs. these injuries generally don't kill an animal right away, so i had to leave my sobbing wife and daughter to put it out of it's misery, and take care of it's little body.
despite all my words, leslie still feels she killed that cat. i keep telling her there was no way to know it was there. at that age, they are too naive to understand the dangers, and we can't look under every little thing before we use it. kinda like hitting a cat on the road. it sucks, but the cat put it's self there.
neither of them knows it was still alive. i wrapped it up and placed it on the bathroom counter to examine right after it happened while the girls held each other and cried in leslie's room. they never saw it after i took it. i just can't tell them. i had to kill a cat today. i feel dirty. i still smell it's death.
