My kitten was nearly kidnapped!

About 3 days ago my poor little kitty, who is very poorly she has the FIP virus and is jaundiced, she was lying on our window sill catching a few rays peacefully when this stray tom cat who we have been feeding came in the window and picked her up in his mouth! Was only lucky that we heard her squealing as he was about to take her out the window! We screamed and he dropped her and ran away.

Poor kittys neck was bleeding and she sprained her back leg:( It really was the last thing she needed as she is so poorly anyway. Trying to make her as comfortable as possible for her last few weeks/months and the this happens. She is about 8 months but only looks about 4/5. Has anyone heard of this happening do you think he was tryig to kill her?

How is your kitten Willow?

This story upset me a bit Sad

Willow89 · 15/05/2012 13:27

Hi crazy nanna she is doing ok, as I said she is a sickly cat so is quite weak and still limping around:(
Gave me an awful fright I have to say, the window has to be kept closed all the time now! I never expected a cat to do that.
Have her back to the vets tomorrow so hopefully I get some good news there, thanks for askingSmile

Bloody Nora, I was expecting you to say a mad old cat lady was after her. I've never heard of anything like that.
FX for a bit of good news at the vet.

Willow89 · 15/05/2012 15:40

oh I am so sorry Sad

Sorry to hear this, Willow

It's very hard but it is the right thing to do. But don't worry about being upset at the vets.... I absolutely howled when my kitten was pts a few weeks back.... Luckily a friend came with me and took over practical stuff and asking questions.... Then drove me home to as I wasn't really ok to eith...

Hope you've had somebody with you today.....

Willow89 · 16/05/2012 23:16

I'm so sorry, I've seen 4 pts and it's just awful.

MNP · 17/05/2012 12:43

So sorry Willow it is never easy.

ripsishere · 17/05/2012 12:45

Willow, comfort yourself that she isn't in any pain now.

Willow89 · 17/05/2012 12:52

Thank you again it's wonderful to have people that understande as I think some people believe it was ONLY a cat:(
But she was a part of the family, hard today keep going upstairs to check on her and give her some food, I've gone up 5 times today without even thinking. That bastard cat who tried taking her showed his face today needless to say he was ran out of the garden quick smart!
