[10 May 2005|12:57pm] [ mood | melancholy ] Yesterday while Mom and I were coming home from the mall we hit a cat.  I didn’t see it and Mom said she saw it out of the corner of her eye.  So we went around the block and back to the highway where it was hit, and we picked it up off the road and put it in our car. We took it to the vet, which wasn’t open, so we called them and Mom left a message telling the vet to call us at home.  So we drove home and right when I got into the house, the vet called.  I was sent out by mom to watch the cat while she talked with the vet.  I really didn’t like watching it, since it had is eyes open and it was just horrible, but I did it anyway.  The Vet said that, from the facts given, it died instantly- which was good.   Then we went out and tried to find its owner, since we thought it was a indoor cat.  We asked the person who's house was where the cat was hit.  This chick, who mom had met previously at a neighbors party, said she saw the cat get hit and ran to get her husband, and by the time he got out there, the cat was gone, since we had it.  She said that a big tomcat was chasing it and it ran directly into our tire, and that it was a stray.  So we didnt really know what to do with the cats body, so we gave it to the chick's husband, who was going to bury it in their yard.  Mom and I were really upset and was crying and stuff, but Mom had a meeting at the library so Grey and I went with her and we were there till like 10:00.   I was up all night crying and just being sad, and I woke up this morning feeling horrible.  I ended up coming home at 10:30 today...I couldn’t take it.  I thought I was having an emotional breakdown or a panic attack or something.   I just started crying and I couldn’t stop.  I really think I’m stressed out due to the whole cat thing, and the fact that I had a huge French test today that I couldn’t study for due to the cat, and the library was closed during the only time I could have gone to study.  That and finals...its just horrible.  So i came home and watched some of That '70s Show, and now I feel better... In Good Company came out today, which was nifty, since I'm definitely buying it A.S.A.P. ~sigh~   5 comments|post comment
