I'm soooooo happy, have just got the best news!!!!!!
In may, we were on our way to the vets with marvin for his routine jabs early in the morning, driving down the motorway. suddenly we see something rolling out from beneath the car infront, i though it was a black bin bag or something. then the thing stops rolling & pokes up a little cat head, just laying there in the middle of the motorway in rush hour. cars are doing 70mph+. before i can finish saying 'its a cat' my boyfriend had pulled the car over into the verge & i was jumping out of the car, running into oncoming traffic to get this cat before it gets hit again. honestly the sight of this cat just laying in the road all dazed haunts me. apparently 8 cars had to swerve to miss me while i got to the cat. just as i got to it, it kind of came to, looked very shocked & ran as fast as it could, with me in hot pursuit. all the while my boyfriend with marvin in tow is being asked to move along by the police, insisting that he can't cuz his girlfriends just gone running up the motorway after a cat!!!! the cat out-ran me into some brambles/thorns & after a protracted search that left me covered in cuts we had to call it a day. we went to the vets & told them what had happened (me crying thinking this poor cat had died in some brambles centimetres away from me calling it). we went home consoling ourselves with the fact that at least we tried to help & that the cat didn't get run over again - which it definately would have.
i went to the vets today for the first time since & they told me that someone brought the cat in as a rescue emergency the next day & that it had survived!!!!! i'm soooo happy!!
ironically, my marvin died the week later. it's like if we hadn't have gone to the vets that day, that cat may have died. everything happens for a reason!!!
