Brian waited until I'd settled in when I returned from my trip to have me sit down next to him. He told me he had some bad news. It seems like the kitten had gotten up into the engine compartment of one of the neighbor's vehicles yesterday afternoon. The man didn't realize it. He called the house, he asked for me, Brian told him I wasn't here and he explained why he was calling. Brian took the kitten to our vet and the vet checked this little girl over (yes, she was a girl) and said that besides the problem with her leg, she most likely had severe brain damage (she was bleeding from the ears). Brian told them to help her to the bridge and that he'd find out what I wanted to do with her body. She'll be cremated and the ashes returned to us. We're calling her Violet (which I'd already thought of, if she was a girl). And she's with my mom. *tears* I'm getting that other cat as soon as I can.
