Yesterday, as I was driving to my first spot, I saw something in the road, and it was too late. I hit it. It was a rat. They do this dance in the road when they are confused, like a squirrell, and that is what he was doing. It was dark, 5:15 am., and he was trying to cross the road. I felt bad, I really did. I know many think they are nasty, and so do I, somewhat, but they are still God's creatures. Its a horrible thing to know you've taken a life. I don't know how murderers of people - and animals for that matter - can live with them selves. Those are real crimes. My crime was accidental. I wouldn't have done it if I could have helped it.
Things were as usual this morning. Soggy. It rained all night. Stopped in the morning but supposed to start up again. Then sun tomorrow. Thank God. I can't imagine what its like to live in a constant rainy zone, like Seattle. I had no luck with Poppi, who was at the location that I go to after I feed her, which is the same location I have rescued Fred, Barney, Nelson, and numerous others. In fact, I am now going to eliminate that area altogether, as there were no kittys there, and its only been Poppi there for a while.
I am attaching two pics, one of Snuggles the Colorado kitty I stayed with, and the other is of an elk in Colorado, one of many I saw while there. Snuggles was also declawed. I had a hard time with that, but what was done was done. I just pray he doesn't get out like I've been told he does occasionally, as there are plenty of foxes and coyotes around there.
and Poppi knows she can go right across the street to eat! We saw her do it. Any sign of that sweet little black one? I wish I grabbes him when I had the chance! Julie
ReplyDeleteWas Snuggles declawed front and rear?
ReplyDeleteI have been told that cats will use the rear claws for defense more than front.
