One of my cats was hit by a car

[TrogL]

Came home from shopping and found her slouched over coughing up blood on the sidewalk. Brought her in the house and she dragged herself downstairs by her front claws. We're at the emergency vet now and are probably going to put her down. She's at least 14 years old and was starting to get sluggish.

1. I'm so sorry to hear this, my dear Trogl...

What a sad thing to have happened, and to lose your cat too...

Safe passage to her. I hope she's free of pain here, now at the end...

And I hope too that your wonderful memories of life with her will sustain you as you grieve your loss...

[Flaxbee]

2. oh dammit, TrogL, I'm so sorry.

Poor baby girl. Safe passage to her; I'm so sorry. to you and your baby.

4. i am so sorry

[TrogL]

5. Update - no broken ribs, no internal damage

Possible broken jaw but they won't know for a bit. They think she's shocky more than anything else. It's been unseasonably warm here and she may have been laying there for several hours

[Fridays Child]

6. I hope she pulls through!

Hang in there. Vibes up to your beloved kitty!

[LoveMyCali]

7. That's good news

I hope she improves quickly.

8. Vibes for a full recovery. I lost a cat that way. Not fun at all.

11. Hang in there, TrogL kitty!

~~ good thoughts for recovery ~~

[HeiressofBickworth]

9. I hope your next post

has better news about your kitty. Hang in there!!

[WillParkinson]

10. Very sorry to hear...

I wish you the best.

[raccoon]

12. Sorry to hear that, Trogl. nt

[MrsBrady]

13. The dog I have now is a rescue...

I turned around while in the car to go check on her and she was hit AFTER I had
already gone back to find her.

I thought she had internal injuries the way she was acting...
but she didn't have anything wrong....except terrible dehydration and near death due to starvation.
She was in shock from getting hit...who wouldn't be.

I hope she pulls through, but please keep us updated. ***vibes***

14. Go kitty!

Poor baby.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. I am so very sorry to hear this! *hugs* I have been through that a few times myself, and know how

hard it is.

[TrogL]

17. 2nd update - 3 broken ribs (but clean break), they're sedating her at noon to check out her jaw

[hifiguy]

18. That sort of sounds like good news.

If they know what's wrong with her the easier it will be to figure out how to treat her.

Strength and all good vibes to you and your poor kitty.

20. Any sort of prognosis, or do they need to wait on the jaw? I had a kitty who once had

her pelvis knocked clean off her spine by a car. We were told to keep her in a cage and that it would reattach itself, which it did albeit somewhat crookedly. I hope that your kitty will also be able to heal!

[TrogL]

21. I don't know what they're concerned about. I tickled her under the chin last night

...and she didn't try to kill me.

Note: The cat is a Russian Blue and prone to attempted homicide. Last year she was picked up by the Pound and put in the psych ward normally used for feral cats.

[LaurenG]

26. My son has two like that

The psych ward cracks me up.

[Liberal Veteran]

19. I really hope she pulls through no worse for wear.

My thoughts are with you. Thanks for the updates too.

[frogmarch]

22. I hope she'll be fine.

From your latest post about her, I take it she's going to pull through and be okay. I hope so!

[TuxedoKat]

23. So sorry

this happened but thank God you found her and brought her to the vet. Prayers for her recovery.

[graywarrior]

24. Damn! So sorry.

This will be on my mind for the rest of the day.

[denbot]

25. Sorry, heres some kitty vibes.

Peace.

[nolabear]

27. I'm sorry, man. Hope she pulls through.

28. We are still waiting for word on when to pick up...

I am frustrated because we got pet insurance and the idiot sold me the wrong one for the cats. We have 4 cats, one is mainly an out door cat, the other three, including the one at the vet hospital, is outside 3 seasons out of 4. He sold me indoor cat insurance, even after I had explained all this. The down side is that I thought we were covered. The claims adjuster I spoke to is looking into it and if the recording shows this they will cover the claim. So damn frustrating! At lest she is doing Ok.

29. Glad to hear she's doing better, Sorry to hear she was injured.

I hope they can get the insurance straightned out for you.

[TrogL]

30. Had to put her down. She couldn't breathe.

[Flaxbee]

31. I'm sorry, TrogL. Sounded like she might make it.

Sweet girl baby. Peace to her and you.
