Sometimes, I hate how I am [View all]
Was supposed to watching a great firework display that my town puts on, on my parents hill. And I hear my dogs go off, and hear a cat rowl!!! Thinking it was my 7 yr old cat, I went to look. (We live on 2 acres, in the desert, and anything can happen. Only one outside cat, rest are inside, so don't attack!!!) I find a kitten, about 6 months old.
Her rib cage and hips are crushed. She got picked up by an owl. Can tell by the talon marks.
I'm still crying, even though it's been a couple of hours.
I ran a warm bath, cleaned her up. And I held her in the towel, letting her be warm and loved, while she passed. She passed right in my arms. My husband told me to put her down since she was clawing and biting at the towel, I told him no, she is fighting passing, and I would sush her, and just tall her to just cross that pretty bridge, you'll be very happier there.
Being empathic sucks!!! It's been 5 hrs since I found her, and 4 since she passed, and I'm still crying!!!!
