susandennisHe finally did it. This morning Biggie when after a bird and flew off the terrace. 4 floors. I thought I saw it out of the corner of my eye. I went to look for him and he was no where on the terrace and no where in the house.
I slapped on some clothes and ran down to the street. I could not see him anywhere. I walked across the street and looked back at my unit and looked all over. Just as I was getting ready to give up, I spied him. Sitting by the back door to the condo.
I tried to grab him and missed and he scrambled into the garage and under a car. So at least his legs and back seem ok. He also had a tag on his collar with my phone number. Finally I was able to reach under the car (very grateful for those high off the ground SUV's) and grab him and got him upstairs and inside. He scrambled to the bedroom where it was dark.
I left him alone for a bit because now my nose was bleeding. WTF?
Finally I got that stopped and went back to him with a flashlight. His face was bleeding. I cleaned it up but I'm pretty sure he's got a broken tooth. I put out some of his favorite wet treat and he tried but couldn't eat it.
I got out the carrier and he went under the bed. I'll drag him out but I'm waiting a bit. The vet is all backed up with wait times of more than an hour. I hate to make him go but if he can't eat... He's not crying and hopefully maybe it's just a cut that will heal. I need to have it looked at.
Damn cat.
In the middle of this entry, I checked on him again and was able to get him into the carrier, much to his dismay. And now we are at the vet. On their website it said the wait was an hour an a half but when we got here and I explained they took him right away.
They said they said he seems mostly ok but also might have breathing problems so they are doing a chest x-ray now.
Holy crapoly.
When I got here, all of their reserved parking was taken. So I pulled into the next lot and brought him in. While they took him to look at him, I went back to the lot to pay and discovered someone leaving a vet space. I grabbed it and considered it a good sign.
Fingers crossed.
This vet is ready...
