Some may possibly know about this cat but I’ve not mentioned her in ages.
We moved here about 5 yrs ago. Soon realised we had a resident local stray/feral. Often with kittens and in a fairly bad looking way. She was long haired so always looked a state and with constant kittens to feed skinny.
We trapped her and her last kitten, spayed her, he was too young so moved them into the spare room til he was older.
Anyway both went back out. He vanished she hung round and over the years became by best little yard companion. Rarely going far (no need to hunt or go out in bad weather!) she turned into the prettiest looking cat. She got fat, loved her food and was always following me round shouting for more.
We had obligatory nose bumps and she actually gave kisses. Every morning she was waiting and when I got home from work. She sat with my while I mucked out and very often while I poo picked the fields.
-I actually got Arlo who more will remember because she made me love cats and I wanted a house cat! (He’s bit of a failure at that but getting better!)
So Wednesday pm, fed as usual, said goodnight. Thursday am no where to be seen. I called and left her food. Wandered round looking for her at home/ fields a few times that day. Was worried then, she never went far and always came without fail.
Friday am- I went out and there she was, waiting. It was pretty instantly obvious she was hurt
I wrapped her up and put her safe, did the horses quickly (as it was 7.15 and the emergency 24hr vet is a good 45 min drive and my own vet opened at 8)
Was there when they opened.
She wasn’t able to be saved :’(
There was a slight chance but poor prognosis and it involved long hospitalisation and months of cage rest rehab which for a cat who was terrified of being shut in and other people would have been cruel and just to stressful. The vet said he’d not be recommending that route even for a pet cat happy to be shut in and constantly handled.
So I let her go. I’m heartbroken
Someone had hit her in their car Wednesday night and the bit that’s killing me is that she spent the last 24 hours where? How the hell she got home I have no idea as her whole body was so damaged. She came home and I couldn’t help her.
She had terrible injuries and i just can’t get that part out of my head.
If only someone had knocked the door of left a note, anything so that I knew where to look.
She purred when i picked her up ?
Sleep tight princess kitten.
