Our cat Mao was hit by a car (probably). He's in the animal hospital. He's recovering and we hope he's going to be okay and able to come home in a couple of days.
Meanwhile the twice-daily status reports on his red blood cell count and his ability to bear weight on his back legs are pretty tough to bear, because frankly I love this cat more than I do most people. Not you! I mean those other people that cut you off in traffic or won't get out of your way in the grocery aisle. Those jerks.
We visited him yesterday and he was extremely stoned on narcotics, but he recognized us and enjoyed our company, and ate a little bit. I'm off to visit him again in a few minutes.
Stupid cat. Doesn't he know the car always wins?
I can see the problem. He is almost as big as some small cars today, and is definitely build more sturdily. And typically, when he puts his mind to it, he can get much larger objects (like me) to move at his will.
Hang in there Mao, we're rooting for you!
Aw man. I'm sorry to hear, but I hope he's ok.
For the future though. The cat isn't the stupid one. Domesticated cats should NOT be out on the road. Keep your cat indoors please and I think you will worry less, and your cat will thank you. Any vet will tell you the same as I have - and I'm sure they can tell you tons of stories of 'hbc' cats.
Hope he gets better :).
