The runaway cat II
Monday, September 10, 2007


Thy cat is back.

Rather, i went to find him. Myself was amazed at how I managed to find him. He was hidden beneath a van. Jus there. Despite our calling, he din come out.

Ok, here it is, at nite, we went downstairs to search for the cat. Walked all around, and din c anyting. I was getting frustrated and impatient. I was jus about to cry out, I've got no 6th sense where he is, but as we were crossing across the road, someting made me check under the car...i noticed a cat underneath the van. Totally uncertain if its my mewmew, I exclaimed, "Is that a cat?"

I tot its jus a cardboard or someting, but instincts jus told me its a cat.

"Is that mewmew?"I asked...but we cant confirm.

Its dark and I cant see. We edge closer, and we called out for mewmew, the cat stared at us, not moving. Not meowing. I approached even nearer, called him. Neither did he reply, nor run away, nor come to us.

I saw his face. It is very like mewmew, but...covered with wounds...

"is it mewmew??" I asked again.

I stretched inside to grab him. At this moment, he cried out. Meowed out loud, and we know, it IS mewmew.

We spent less than 15min in locating tis cat tis time~

He seemed injured, weak and dirty. Might be starving. so he dun move. Nono..when we reached home, we noticed, he is limping, and badly too.

How our hearts ached when we saw him not interested in the can food we laid out and did nothing more than stare blankly. He simply looked dazed. Maomao approached him, maomao looked really stunned and surprised, almost afraid to go near mewmew...

Mew is injured quite badly. After ard 10min of getting him back, we decided to rush him to the vet.

I initially din wanna go animal hospital, as i've worked at one of the hospital there and din quite like wad I see,but asking ard, we found tt there aint much options. At 11pm, where else is open? We took a cab and rushed him there. He is still in a state of shock, totally dazed.

Vet examined his wounds and concluded that he is likely to have been hit by a car. Dragged slightly. And the diagnosis after taking x-ray revealed that he got a fractured left elbow and fractured hipbone. ouch!

He has to stay hospitalised for observations too. Too see if his internal organs are working well, which according to the x-ray revealed no internal injuries so far. He has to be put on drip too, and pain killer and anti-biotics shots were given. He is shaved slightly, again in order to give him a painkiller patch.

We transfered him over to be under observations at our usual vet at upper serangoon on sunday. he seems, ok, jus tt he cant stand nw. Cos his strong right hand is weak nw from putting drip...

Seeing him so in pain hurts my heart...so badly... anyway, he is under observations and will have to be under observations for a few days to ensure tt he is eating, pee n poo all ok.. sigh..tis silly cat...

Maomao is oso worried for him. The whole of ytd and today, he is unhappy. He stayed in the room looking sad the whole day. Not coming out, nt walking ard, jus lying on his throne. When we came back from dinner after visitin mew, maomao ran out from the room to greet us, sniffing ard almost like looking for mew... They are indeed, grown to be great friends...poor mao misses mew...

Looking better now after one day of drip..still as cute with his naughty look, but he looked sadder when we visited him in the evening, tink he tot we abandoned him or wad...


He looked like tis when we first found him..sad and injured, scarred. the worst part is his limp... *heart break*

For now, we jus hope for the best. It is advised he go for an operation for his fractured elbow..nail it back of someting..but the price is...very steep..considerin no medisave/medishield nor any insurance available, it is really a dear price to pay...we are in a dilemma whether or not to send him for operation. cos he is a young healthy fellow who haf previously kinda fractured his legs too when he fell off the tree...

I m in favour of sending him for the operation...but ... the price is in terms of thousand, nt jus few hundreds... If ur pet is injured, how much will u b willing to spend on him??

I m trapped.. Anyway, see wad the doc says for the next few days bah..
