Hey Cat lovers, I'd like to humbly request that you call upon whatever deity you can relate to in whichever manner you relate to help a cat that my dog Bodhi attacked today.
My girlfriend and I were preparing to take our dogs to the vet when they flew the coop and took off out into the neighborhood. While on the lam Bodhi and Mikey apparently found a big fat Tabby and Bodhi shook it real good. After nearly breaking my neck crossing a barbed wire fence and 40 feet of thick briars I got to the cat that was floating half dead in a creek. I jumped into the creek and tore my dog off the cat and lifted the cat out of the water, I wasn't sure if the cat was alive at this point. The dogs were'nt giving up yet and Bodhi kept jumping at the cat. My girlfriend finally got down to us and was able to distract the dogs long enough for me to walk along a downed tree out of the creek and over much of the briars while holding the cat. My girlfriend then drove the dogs back and locked them in the house and then came and picked myself and the cat up. We headed off to the vet then. The cat and I were both soaked but the cat seemed a bit better on the way. It began making some noise and was breathing. Once we got to the vet they took the cat in immediately and checked for shock and administered some pain med. They couldn't find any serious wounds and are mainly worried about damage from shaking such as neck wounds.
I've got THE best vet around. I explained the situation (and that my dogs had attacked the cat which was not mine) and accepted financial responsability for the vet bill but the vet pretty much treated it like a stray and doing it no charge.
So, please pray for this cats recovery and that it's owner will see my sign and call me.
