Lost Cat

It was a sad, sad night...


I got a knock on my door while Drew and I were watching the Wings... It was a woman telling me that she thought that Zeus and Zoey had a cat in my back yard.


I run out back and sure enough...they are circling something furry on the ground. The animal on the ground appeared to be limp and lifeless. My heart skipped a beat and I screamed to the dogs to get away. It was difficult to see what the animal actually was because it was so dark. I was praying it was a rabbit...

Unfortunately, I was wrong. When I got to the animal, I saw that it really was a cat. It lay there bloodied and lifeless...


The ladies are looking over the fence asking if it is alive. I tell them that it does not appear to be.


Drew comes out and I ask him to go back in to get some plastic bags. I did not want to leave the cat. I did not want the dogs to get at it again and they were circling me and the cat like sharks circling bait. It seemed like hours before he came back out...


Drew finally comes back out and I manage to get the cat in a bag. I bring the cat in the house... It is not moving...nor is it breathing.


I dread the point in time I see a poster on the telephone poll at the corner of my block reading... Lost Cat. :(
