Tablet pen f0und, Kitty crisis?
4 years ago
☾✩ br0 i cant catch a break
s0 i f0und my tablet pen in the c0uch. 0r rather, my dad f0und it because parents have magical finding p0wers
but as i left t0day t0 take zack his lunch at w0rk, i saw s0mething i was always dreading t0 see
basically, 0ur neighb0rh00d cat M0chi had kittens (i didn't kn0w she wasn't spayed until she was already fat with baby)
and i see them run ar0und and be spunky and healthy and have a healthy fear 0f cars
but they always play by the back alley r0ad s0 ive been scared that 0ne day, 0ne 0f them w0uld get hit
S0 0n my way 0ut i see s0mething in the r0ad. and i'm h0ping its a sh0e 0r a pile 0f fur fr0m 0ur neighb0rs d0g cut earlier this week
but as i g0t cl0ser i see its a kitten, curled up in the middle 0f the r0ad
and my heart sinks cus he d0esn't m0ve at all when i drive cl0ser.
he didn't m0ve when i slammed my car d00r t0 get 0ut t0 get him.
he 0nly reacted when i grabbed him. He didn't me0w, he just m0ved. just en0ugh f0r me t0 kn0w he was alive
I've taken him h0me, g0t him f00d and s0me water. He seems t0 have a healthy appetite but he cant keep his head up 0n his 0wn
he's m0ved just en0ugh that i d0nt think he's paralyzed and i d0nt see any signs 0f being hit with a vehicle.
H0wever, he is INCREDIBLY maln0urished. y0u can feel every b0ne in his b0dy and he's sick as well (sn0tty n0se, 0ne 0f his eyes shut with mucus)
he hasn't made a me0w since i picked him up, he just fell asleep nestled against me, which als0 w0rries me because all the 0ther kittens fr0m that litter
are bigger and very skiddish 0f human beings.
I suspect he might be a runt 0f the litter wh0 was t0ssed aside. he's g0t scratches 0n him that are healed that make me thing an0ther cat
scratched him pretty hard.
s0 0n 0ne hand, i'm s0 happy he wasn't hit by a car.
0n the 0ther hand, its n0t g00d that he was s0 maln0urished/dehydrated that he c0llapsed in the middle 0f the street.
If he makes it thr0ugh the night, i'll take him t0 a vet t0m0rr0w, but f0r n0w he's safe and fed inside and able t0 rest.
update later ;u;
I named him Eden
Eden is d0ing g00d s0 far. he's m0re resp0nsive t0 s0unds and can m0ve a little!
I hope the kitty is okay. He may have intestinal worms. When he poops, check for stringy looking things. It may look like hair at first glance.
I'll check but s0 far he hasn't p00ped. I'll ask the vet ab0ut that t0m0rr0w but I assume he hasn't g0ne yet because there was n0thing in the p00r baby t0 begin with
