I was out and about with my friend, and he stopped by somebody's house in the general vicinity. Now, I refrain from describing this guy as a "friend" to either of us. More like an accquaintince. And he's got a lot of cats. But he doesn't spay them. Just feeds them is all. They can get shot by the farmers or hunters out here, ran over by traffic, or freeze in the winter. He doesn't do nothing about it.

So I walk up to this kitten. It's just sitting there in the grass. Looks up to me because it can hear me. But it can't see me. Know why? This kitten is in the middle of an infection. It's eyes were encrusted with green shit, closed shut. A combination of blood and grey shit was coming out of it's nose.

And he didn't haul it off to the vet. The only thing he did do was try to clean its eyes, and he did a piss poor job of that too. So after he went back into his house, I picked up the cat and left. I'll be bringing the little fellow into the vet tomorrow.

Sounds like you should probably kick this guy's ass.

I don't cause trouble. We all get what's coming to us eventually. I'll simply do my part in things out of the way. I don't have the right to judge others for who and what they are. I have my own flaws too.

You know what else you stole?
Everyone's bandwidth on Standoff.

The Cat Society of the World thanks you *salutes*

No bets on his survival. If he dies under my care then there's no thanking me. I'm going to have to stay up tonight and keep a watch over him until I can bring him in to the vets tomorrow. Little bugger isn't doing well. He's damn late in his stage of infection.

That would be liberating, not stealing. It's like tactically acquiring something, but for the good of the thing as well.

Welp, I'm off for the long haul folks. Gonna stay up and keep working on the little bugger and make sure he makes it to the morning. Wish me luck.

You can do it Sandtrap! Save him with your Canadian care!

But srs talk: Take good care of him

Name it Snigglefritz. My cousin gave his first cat that name.

Can't consider naming him unil I know he'll be fine and dandy. Might call him boogy considering all the damn boogers and other stuff he's got coming out of his nose at the moment.

I found a cat with a similar condition, when I was about 6 or 7. Currently, his name is still Mewtwo. I'm pretty sure you should choose a name that will stick with the kitty.

I'll see how stuff goes. Eventually his name will pop up.

That guy sounds like a douchebag.

Sadly that's how most are around here with cats and the like. As far as people go, he's not terrible, ecspecially compared to others around here. But he's a stingy old fuck when it comes to money.

I mean fuck, if I'm sacrificing around 5 weeks of pay on money for the wee little bugger, then this fellow who leases his land and has a good pention could pay for it. As ever, money blinds.

Take it to the vet sooner. Those eye infections can cause serious damage if not treated and can make them go blind.

Well, off I go. Here's hoping the wee bugger makes it.

Did you save it!??!
The suspense is real!

I called the docs up this morning. He's in better condition than yesterday. Not dehydrated anymore but he's not eating on his own yet. More energy to move around than yesterday. I'm going to call them up later in the afternoon and see how he's doing.

But as it stands, IT'S ALIVE!
