The cat is fine! He was microchipped, and was actually a patient at the vet he was taken to! He had no broken bones or anything so it was a happy ending.
I agree he should have been taken right away, but Luisa, it wasn't exactly up to me... I had no means of taking a cat to the emergency vet which is a 20 minute drive away (I don't have a full license yet) and wasn't going to wake my parents up at midnight (when I got home) to take a kitty to the vet, when they'd already made the decision not to :(
vle1170- That's so great of you. I think everyone should be like that. hehe I can't kill spiders either- unless they are venemous and INSIDE my house- wolfspiders, redbacks, whitetails etc. Huntsmans (which grow to tarantula sizes) I take outside on my hand or in a jar, and daddy long legs are left to keep pests at bay. Yeah I move dead animals off the road so that the wedge-tailed eagles, Ravens, goanas and other creatures don't get run over too while scavenging! Then a check of the pouch etc. Never found a baby, thank heavens. I slowed down from a fast speed to avoid hitting a wombat just recently. Silly thing stood there in the middle of the road staring at me for ages. They're so dopy.
I'm going up to the high country tomorrow (I'm driving!) and I'll hopefully see some wildlife... being the driver, I get to choose whether to stop or not, so I'll get to keep an eye out for needy creatures. I'll also get any pictures I can! Ashling is coming up too... and the dogs... there are koalas, lyrebirds, king parrots, rosellas, Ravens, kangaroos, wallabies and wombats in the area. There are also tales of pet/ circus cougars and panthers that escaped 100 years ago and are now roaming the area, so it can be quite scary at night!
