First of all, I just want to say that I have read each and every single post here...and thank you all SO MUCH for all of your thoughts, advice, personal stories, care and concern. It really does mean so much to me as I am just totally depressed over this whole thing. I've cried today over this and am just sick about it.
I did go back over there to check on the cat, and I don't know if this is good or bad news (to ME it's bad news as I wanted so desperately to help this sweet baby), but I couldn't find the little darling ANYWHERE
AND....the dish of water and food that I put down was no where in sight
I cannot believe it. I don't know what the heck happened or where the poor little cat is, but now I am just worried SICK. My husband and I looked everywhere for it. I looked around, sadly thinking that maybe it had passed away and was laying somewhere, but I didn't see him/her anywhere
The food and water that I put out for him/her was no where to be found
I just don't understand. God....I hope and pray that no one has hurt this cat or has done anything awful to it. I am sick at my stomach thinking about it.
I just can't imagine anyone around there actually helping this cat out of the blue....I mean, if you guys could have seen it....it was just so skinny and looked like it had been in that condition for a good while. Even the lady I spoke to outside said that she had seen it lying around for the longest time....she said that the cat was very old (and it did indeed look it). And here I am thinking to myself...."well if you've seen it laying around like this for so long, why didn't you help it!!!"
Oh, I guess she just isn't an "animal person"
I just can't tolerate stuff like this. I get so upset over it and it's all I can think about. I don't know...I just don't know what to do now. I want so badly to find that baby and take it home with me...I will do whatever it takes to get it help, if it's not already too late for that. I KNOW this cat is old...you can tell just by looking at him/her...and I also can tell that she has a number of health problems, but even IF it can't be helped...I would like to help it get to heaven, peacefully
My heart is breaking...I don't know where this little sweetheart is and I don't know what to do...I feel an incredible amount of guilt now for not just bringing it back here with me to my moms house to begin with
I'm going back down there in a little while to look again...someone is probably going to call the cops on me thinking that I am up to something, but I don't care...whatever. I just want to know that this poor baby is ok and if I can find it, I want to bring it home with me
