prayers, white light, whatever it is you believe in KittyMeezer’s way?
Something got him last night. Brian heard it, then he heard a thump against the side of the house. He woke me up yelling “it’s outside, it’s outside!” He ran out in his underwear, I got some clothes on.
Something had Kitty at the side of the house. Brian was chasing the varmint away, he said it was a dog. I thought coyote, but he would have known the difference. Somebody has been letting their big dog run at night, the dog is big if the piles of crap left on the curbs are any indication. And it’s not coyote scat, it’s dog crap.
Anyway, Kitty ran to the entry way, Brian said his leg was hurt. He told me to get a blanket because we needed to take him in. I got the carrier and a blanket, brought them out and when I moved the blanket close to Kitty, he actually flew at me with claws extended. Brian ended up going back inside, I stayed out with Meeze for a while. I laid down and put my head on the blanket. KittyMeeze just sat there against the house and a plant, growling.
I ended up going back inside and when I went out a half hour later, it scared him and he ran under the car. The car isn’t really a bad place to be, it’s low and it’s hard for anything big to crawl under it. I had checked where Brian said he chased the dog away and found cat hair on the ground. From the looks of it, it was dark and longish, I came to the conclusion that whatever had a hold of Meeze, had him by the tail. Because the only other hair this dark on him is his head and his legs, and this hair was too short to have come from any of those places.
I had the flashlight with me and Meeze had finally calmed down enough to let me look at him (not close, mind you, he just didn’t bolt when I turned on the light). There were chunks of fur missing from his tail. I hope that there wasn’t any lasting damage done to him when he ended up against the house.
I checked on him throughout the night until three, then I fell asleep, didn’t wake up until a little before six. I went out to check on him and he’s gone. I hope he went to a safe place. The food Brian put out last night was all eaten, so I’m hoping he left with Gilligan earlier. Gilligan was missing for a few weeks, but Brian has seen him a few times.
Keep him in your good thoughts, please?
