It was suppose to be a quiet day. We went to Jane's for chai! When we arrived home, Nicole's rescued kitten was in a bad way. It was in a reverse fetal position, it had lost all fluids including sinus and was cold as ice. It was dead! I dug the whole and dropped a shovel full on it but Nicole
made me wrap it up and hold it as she sped to the International Animal Shelter. No one was there so she sped to a next town to get a drip to replenish the fluids. She parked on a side street in front of an open bar. There were many drunk men staggering around and some women with too much makeup on! She leaves me there for 15 minutes that seemed like two hours. I was thinking if she never comes back should I just drive away but it is a standard shift and we were on a hill so I waited for her. We sped back to her house while avoiding every cow and dog in the county along with drunk men on their scooters trying to remember where they lived. The cat is comatose! It has no color, is stiff and cold but laying on a hot water bottle! I consider it dead but am along for the ride!
We are up and down with it all night - got no sleep - but the little bugger pulls through. At one point I thought it was blind but he appears fine now. She thinks it was renal failure. This has happened before but he is going to a real Dr. tomorrow so we may find out more after a few tests!
We had to sleep in late so treated ourselves to a trek up the waterfall just up the road. Photos will be coming. It was beautiful, cooling and relaxing. We walked a little further and got caught in a downpour but had an umbrella this time. It is warm so really is not a problem!
There are some great smells coming from the kitchen! The fishman passed again today so I know that is a main ingredient. She made me scrambled eggs for brunch with tomatoes and onions! Yum! She is taking good care of me - my stomach has been very calm so far!

ReplyDeleteSounds good. Nicole is the cat lady of India. Hope you get a chance to post some pictures and the rain stops for long enough to go a little farther away! Watch out for spiders! Check out Facebook to see some pictures of us in Washington. Look up Patrick Carroll to find most of them.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you girls are sharing this experience together! It's a riot to read of your experiences....keep the blog updates coming!
ReplyDeleteEverything is going well- lot's of adventures. Glad the little kittie pulled through- Nicole should have been a vet! I'm so tickled that you girls are having so much fun, even farming and water engineering! Watch the old drunks though-no letting them have their way with either of you.
