Despite requests im not going to dwell on the wobbly head as its now cleared up a bit, that and my incredible sore throat. Im am now left with projectile snot. (oh what a ladylike image. I am currently sneezing for Brittain, but am so glad my throat is no longer sore as that is the worst pain (cold wise).
Anyway in ref to the title. I cant believe how upset i was and it made me want to give my own cats a huge hug when i finally got home.
On Thursday i dropped Jono off at his friends as it was pub night that some of the lads go to twice a month. Before i went home i decided to pop to the local Morrisons to see if they had some pre cooked wedges so go with the home made lasagne i had made. I managed amazingly to get the last tray. Picked up another couple of bits and then headed home.
I was driving down the main road just before turning into where i live and noticed something in the road with its legs in the air. As i slowed down i noticed it was a cat and there was about 8 cars coming in the opposite direction. The first car drove past the cat (wheels either side so missed him) and then the second car managed to stop just intime.
We both got out of our cars. It was two young lads and considering young lads seemed to get such a chavy reputation lately, these two were lovely and made sure i didnt need their help before driving off. Before they did though i got a couple of bags out of my car to use as gloves to move the cat to the side of the road. There still seemed to be some slight movement from the cat. We then both moved our cars so that the traffic could keep moving. There was also a couple walking past who also offered help which was so lovely and shows that on the whole we can be a caring society.
When i first took our cats to the vets i noticed an out of hours number to ring with any vet problems. I happened to have put it into my phone that day and was so pleased i did as this is the number i rang. As soon as they answered i got really weapy and had to appologise as i felt such a wuss. They said they didnt collect animals but i could take the cat to them.
I didnt think the cat would survive as there was lots of blood but i thought atleast the owners would know sooner rather than later what had happened to their cat.
In my previous blog i had mentioned the box of CDs in the back of the car. This again was perfect timing as i was then able to pour the CDs out of the box to them gently place the cat in it instead. By this point i was absolutly crying. I cant believe how upset i was but i supose seeing anything suffer causes upset. I have no idea how people can be cruel to animals and not be effected by it.
The place i had to take the cat to was the other side of the city. I wasnt sure where it was until i got close to it and then remembered i had seen it before.
By the time i had got their the cat had died but they were able to see he had a micro chip so the owners would be able to be told.
The staff at the PDSA were amazing and i will definatly praise them up to people whenever i get the chance.
I finally got home about 9.20 and spoke to my mom on the phone. She was very understanding when i started crying again. I dread to think what i will be like if anything happens to my own cats. While on the phone they both in turn jumped on my lap for a cuddle which was just what i needed.
As an aside i still have all the CDs in the boot of the car. I hope i dont get stopped by the police as it will look like i have been on the rob. It is definatly an incentive to go after work on Monday and will be taking them to the PDSA charity shop.
Other than that its been such a quiet week as i have been poorly for most of it. So sick of being poorly now.
I took a friend wardrobe shopping on Wednesday morning but have been poorly for the rest of the week so had to cancel meeting up with some friends for coffee on friday and also had to cancel my dentist appointment.
I also missed out on my eye appointment as i was late so they wouldnt see me. It wasnt a wasted journey though as i also went there to do the weekly shop. ASDA optitions are actually really good (apart from this time though obviously).
I was also gutted on Tuesday aswell as i got a parking ticket grrrrr. I decided to go swimming at 8am and parked where i normally do not realising it was restricted at that time of day. They must have watched me as they got me practically as i walked into the pool building. I did think it was strange i was the first person to park there but thought nothing more of it. I know i have been trying to go swimming to lose weight but it wasnt the kind of 30 pound i was looking to lose :-(
