My day started like any other.
Got up, showered, had breakfast and got on my car to go to work... As I was going just down the road from my house, in one of the narrowest roads around, out of the bushes and really fast came out a cat running to cross the road.
I didn't even have time to react, nevertheless brake...
Once I realized it, panic started to filled my heart and soul.
I immediately stopped and look back on my rear-view mirror, to see him laying on the road, bleeding.
My heart stopped and I started to feel tears coming out of my eyes.
Did I kill him? Was he o.k?
I swore it was Leroy (one of the kitties that we feel every day).
The worst part of it was, I couldn't stop and check if he was alright (as the manager at the store is away right now, so I had to go and open the store myself).
Still, I could see him still laying there and I was ever more worried that he was going to hit by another car and kill him (for sure).
So I called my husband and he immediately got on his bike to go rescue him.
Took him to the Vet.
Looks like he only got hit in the head, not a single broken bone or main organ damaged.
They sedate him, gave mi some sort of medicine to prevent the swelling of the brain and lots of rest.
Well, the cat is not Leroy, in fact is a completely new cat that we have never feed, and perhaps he even belongs to somebody.
He is now at the Vet's clinic. Still very much in pain, very swollen in the head and I just now came by from visiting him.
The doctor is not sure if he is going to make it, only time and God can tell what's going to happen.
I am still very sad and very much in shock of what happen although at any point I meant to hurt him/her, it was a very terrible accident that I wish would never happen again.
Please keep him/her in your prayer and hope God puts his healing hand over him/her and may he be recovering very soon.
More news tomorrow and hoping those would be good news.
Have a nice weekend!

He's gonna make it.
Aw, he looks just like one of my little kitties, and I truly hope he pulls through. Thank goodness you had your husband take him to the vet so that he has a chance. Many people would have probably just left him there, so it's great that you did the right thing after such a terrible shock.
Oh Sunshine, I truly feel with you - that is just the most AWFUL thing. But thank God there's people like you who would stop and make sure he was pulled to safety. As you know I have tried this and there is just no way one can prevent this happening. I pray and hope he will make it.
Oh dear, I´m so sad to hear this, and really feel with you. It´s just terrible when it happends, and there was no way you could avoid it, it just happens that one is at the wrong place at the wrong time..:-( But - I hope and pray the cat will make it, and that it might have a chip so you can find the owner. Otherwise, is there a chance that you could give him a home, maybe a home in your garden? Hope to hear good news, and keep my fingers crossed! :-)
