I went out to the barn to finish up chores... and the dogs went with as usuall... Sorry my typing is horrid, I'm shaking and I can't feel my fingers..
Pepper went around the banr and got out of the fence area and somehow they got a cat. I heard this growl, and saw gray.. I figured it was a coon, but then it flipped around as they were playing tug of war with it, and the belly was white and the tail... I knew it wasn't a coon. It didn't matter how hard I yelled it or how loud I yelled it, they just kept pulling and attacking... I ended up kicking the living *insertchoicewordhere* out of them to get them off, and I couldn't help it.. I beat their *insertchoicewordhere* too.
I know that cat has to be screwed up, and he's under an old trailer we have and he's freaked.. He's gorgeous, he has to belong to someone I would think.. Especially to be so close to a barn, where I was at, making plenty of noise.. The feral cats just run off.. It's not one of mine.. I've been out there for an hour trying to get it to come out, and it won't.. He's just laying there growling, and I can't see enough of him to see how bad he's hurt. I put a dish of food down for it but I still can't stand thinking that he's wounded, out there in the cold.. I want to get him in, but I'm not sure how to go about that.
I'm an uber cat fan. I hate dogs. They're loud, smelly and I just don't like them. And I keep thinking those dogs are eventually going to get one of my cats. Pepper is now officially an adult Pit Bull.. She's chased my cats but I figured it's all fun and games.. I know now that I should have halted that behavior the day it started. God so help them if they EVER do that to one of my cats. The other dog is a 6ish yo Doberman / Coonhound mix.
If he's there tomorrow, I'm calling animal control, I have good ties with them, and I know the manager would come out and tranq it for me. My biggest concern is shock, and it's frigid cold outside. According to mom, her dogs have several puncture wounds. Good. They deserved every bit of it. They KNOW cats are off limits and I just don't understand what triggered it.. I can't have this happening to any of my other cats, someone elses beloved pet or my horses. Every winter a cat wanders my way and I end up taking it in.. I think this might be the 5th if he lives.
