Sorry for your loss. My cat Waldo has been with the vet since Saturday , not sure if he will get to come home or not . He was a feral cat that lived on my car port for two years before he decided I was good people and adopted me about six months ago . Before that he would have nothing to do with anybody . He decided to come to the porch one day to eat with my other two cats and when I reached to pet him he bit me twice and dug his claws in , did the wife the same way two days later . The next time he allowed me to pet him and a few days later he got up in my lap unprompted. My wife said he was a demon but he had changed her mind within a week . He is a sweet heart and is the only cat I ever lived with that shakes hands.
He came home Friday night sometime and I found him in my rocker on the porch at 1 am breathing hard and his sides were heaving . I carried him to my vet and the x ray showed that his guts were in his chest cavity and the cavity full of fluid so that he could barely breath . Wyatt said he thinks he had been run over but that it's possible that someone had stomped him . He is also missing 1/2 of one of his front teeth . We decided to give him till Monday to see if he could get any better . Monday he was better but still having trouble so is still with Wyatt . He says we should know if he will make it in a few days . I think the people down the road stomped him but have no way to prove it. I don't see how a car could run over him and not break some bones on top of the damage that has been done . If I knew someone did that to him I would do the same to them . Accidents happen but I don't think this was an accident . He watches traffic and waits to cross and walks against traffic like I taught my kids when they were little and goes down the creek bank if a car comes.
Adopt you another friend , nobody should be without a good cat .
