Little kitty

I have to... vent, somewhere, I guess....

Today, these two guys were on their way to work, and they saw a kitten dart across the highway. They stopped, and caught the little one. They didn't have time to go to the shelter, so they brought him into my shop. I took him, and washed about a million fleas off. He still had a few fleas, because I didn't use flea shampoo, since he was soooo tiny. Palm of my hand tiny. Too young to leave his mom, TINY.

The more I looked at him, the more I decided he couldn't stay in the shop. He clearly had a serious upper respiratory infection, and was almost certainly wormy, and definitely in need of some sort of flea medicine. I left work, and took him to my vet, and told them what had happened. I went back to work.

I got a call a couple of hours later. The vet suspects that he was thrown from a car, since running over him would likely have killed something so tiny. He was bleeding from his nose, mouth, and rectum. She recommended that he be euthanized, and I agreed. Poor, little kitty. He never had a chance at life, and he didn't even have a name. I feel terrible for not giving him more, but there was no better option.

Fly free, little kitty.

Awwww, poor sweet little kitty.

At the bridge baby, there are no mean or stupid people, just pure, sweet, wonderful love.

Run free little one.

Jen, bless your heart for what you did for this little angel.

Scamper free, little one. Unbelievable how cruel some can be to a helpless creature.

At the foot of Rainbow Bridge a boxer/pit mix laid down to wait. She had a ball in her mouth ... and friends who kept coming up to check .... nope, she was supposed to wait.

"This Meadow is a nice place" she thot ... a really good place to find old friends and even some new ones. Puppies you'd had and lost ... you could *find* them here. All the 'maters you want ta eat ... gardens just waiting fur ya ta pick stuff and eat.

Might as well be comfortable ... but as she stretched out she heard a little tiny 'mew'. A kitten ... but ... not in the gras ... wait ... it's from the Bridge. Oops ... more downhill than the kitten was expecting and he slipped the last couple of feet and skidded to a stop at the bottom of the bridge.

Ms. Socks went over quietly and just nudged the little kitten and breathed her warm motherly breath on him. 'Hey Puss .. you're ok now ... I'm Socks."

Ms. Socks proceeded to wash that baby kitten the way all mothers know how to do. If there was anything Socks loved more than puppies and playing ball ... it was cats and kittnes.

The little one looked up at her and finally ventured to say "you aren't a cat!"

"Nope, I'm a dog ... but I'm a dog who loves cats and kitties more than I like most dogs really. And you're just the little bit of sweetness I needed today. Now that I have you all clean and presentable, why don't you hop on my shoulder and I'll show you around. I'll take you to milk so sweet you'll be full before you know it. And you can tell me all about your story ... and who gave you such a nice gentle bath today? You smell like some human cared!"

Socks nudged him up as he climbed her easily, snuggling in beside her ear as she lumbered off -- her sweet burden no burden at al.

Just one more Tail from Across Rainbow Bridge. Where all the endings are nice.

Ah poor little kitten. But then on the other hand, he wasn't left alone and frightened, when he was hurting and afraid. He was picked from the road by caring hands and then brought to some more caring hands. Then he was, once again, taken to those that would be gentle and loving with him. So, you see, you gave little kitten much and made sure that he was, as comfortable as good be, and with those that would give him the best they could.
