bloody dog

[den]

I'm studying for some exams. So I was deep into Data Communications And Networks when a steady "thump thump thump" intruded on my consiousness. I ignored it and started reading. Then Polly went

WOOF!

about 2 inches behind my chair. She'd let herself inside, was happy to see me and wagged her tail ie "thump thump thump" against the carpet. She'd become tired of being ignored and let me know. She scared the crap out of me and I let her know. Now she's hiding in the Bad Dog Pot Plant bacause I said bad people words.

Bloody dog knows she's not allowed inside.

I've been reading it, and trying to think of what to say. So...

Firstly, you should take you cat to a vet so they can examine her. It's hard to give advice over the phone. also, the people on http://www.practical-pet-care.com/cat_forum.php would know more about cats than I do, but they will also tell you to get her to a vet. Vets are out friends even if they sometimes tell us what we don't want to hear. It's quite possible the kittens were a little premature. When my Jess had her 4 pups, one was bore dead and one other began calling loudly after a couple of hours before it, too, died. I asked the vet and he said "It happens to very young animals and there's not a lot you can do."

I know how you feel, it's happened to me. It happens and all you can do is cry. Your main concern now should be for your living cat, and I think she really should see the vet. That's about the only advice I can think of for now. I wish I could be more helpful.

As for the bodies... Have you considered placing them on the snow in a quiet patch of wood where a wild animal can find them? It sounds awful to us, but you might help make a wild animal's winter a little less hard.

.....don't feed the wildlife......

Going to the vet today. Although she seems to be fine still...it will ease my mind to know she's 'all good' despite the week we've been through. And I live in a city - the only species I may be strengthening the link for are the seagulls, and there are enough McPlaces for them to McHunt their McFood so I won't be McPlacing the McKitten meals anywhere on top of the snow. I actually found a pet clinic that was happy to deal with it for me. Thank you Dennis for your reassuring words. Hope your studying & exams (prep still or done yet?) is going smoothly.
