Hungry For Life
On my way home from Asda this evening, I saw a man fussing over a cat he thought had been hit by a car. The cat had run up a wall/embankment thingy, after trying to cross a busy road...But now it wasn't moving at all and something was wrong, although there was no blood to be seen.
The man had sent for the RSPCA but had been waiting ages, so I joined him. We ended up with a box from Asda and my boyfriend coming to help. The cat looked a little perkier but still odd.
Eventually we got bored with being on the cold and increasingly dark road-side. We asked the man back to our house and told the RSPCA where to find us. My boyfriend (cat whisperer extraordinaire) decided to put the cat in the box to transport it. We were scared it was injured but it had started moving more, so he lifted it gently...Then smiled.
The cat was pregnant fit to burst. No injuries but a HUGE belly that was wriggling a bit! Don't know WHY we didn't see that before then! We got her home and she started purring in our warm house, away from all the traffic. She looked a lot better.
Eventually the RSPCA arrived and took the Mummy cat away. She had a nice red collar but wasn't chipped. They will leave a notice where we found her though, so hopefully the owners will see it. The RSPCA guy gasped at the size of her, predicting "about 20 kittens by tomorrow" in an "is he joking or not?" way.
Awww. The guy who originally found her teared up a bit when she left. Bless him, he was really sweet (and as camp as Christmas).
