My hubby called me to the front door last night - the weather was hideous with rain and a drop in temperatures.
One of my wonderful cats (they do the barn thing during the day and come in at night to sleep on furniture, etc) had made it to the front porch, dragging her leg. It was broken in three places from the knee down with such nerve damage that her paw was cold and had no feeling. She was in severe shock and the road is a LONG way from my house so I cannot imagine what she went through to get to the house and I have not seen her go toward the road before. The fractures tore holes in her skin at the knee and hock with the bones poking through... I had to bundle her carefully in a towel and she just sat in my arms....
She had to be put to sleep...I am still in shock myself.
Just had to share...I have had her since she was a kitten.
