Subject: addition to Bridge list - stray hit by car :(
Belinda, could you please add "Grimalkin" to the list? I dubbed him on the way to the emergency clinic. I was driving home from my bf's and saw this pretty little gray and white kitty lying in the gutter on a busy street - I went back and lifted him out of the gutter and a couple of girls who lived in the house right there got me a box and I took him to the clinic. No collar:(( horrible skull fracture - but he was wrapped in a holey towel (Bandit-chewed) in the box and I was gently petting him and telling him how nice the Bridge is and about all the new friends he'd make there and what a good kitty he was and I could feel his heart beating and his purring but he was otherwise unresponsive. He was still purring when I got to the clinic, but by the time they checked him in back, he'd gone to the Bridge. He had just died in the space b/n my car and the back of the clinic. He had beautiful fur and apart from the trauma, seem! ed in good shape and was intact, so we think he was a stray. The boys got extra lovin' when I got in tonight. I don't think I'm going to sleep very well tonight...... I knew that the injury was probably too serious for them to be able to do anything about (REALLY horrible skull fracture), but they could have euthanized him and helped him that way and either way - he didn't die alone and will have a proper disposal (geez there's gotta be a better word than that!)
So everyone, give your fur-kids an extra pat and kiss from me!
