Right thru my Uber heavy gloves!!.. broke the skin. .and a deep puncture wound..so icall animal control..they show up....nope. .not chipped...so now it's in quarantine for 10-14 days to see if it's rabid.....so of course I've gotta put myself on the shelf..until we know for sure...Fucking Cats!!!!...ugh!...I wanted to throw the little fucker back on the highway...but it did have a collar...so it IS someone's pet..mutter grumble:frusty:

 

[Butler1000]

Thumper ya done right. It doesn't always pay, but ya done right. Good on ya.

 

[oil&gas]

Do you still get paid for spending the quarantine time
by your job (presumably somewhere in a cell rent free)? If
yes I wish I have your job.

 

[TeasePlease]

If it has a dollar (tag?), why cant you contact the owner and confirm vaccination?

The collar was a cheesy bracelet. ..like the ones you'd buy at a flee market and get your name engraved on it?
Like really you buy a cheesy bracelet and you can't spend the 10 bucks to scratch/etch your fucking phone #..
This sucks balls man.....
if I gotta go thru the shots ....I'm gonna be so Pissed! !!!AAAAAAAARGH!!!!

That's a bitch. And you were only trying to help out. Well, you saved a cat's life and if you believe in karma someone will pay it forward to you. You did the noble thing regardless. Despite all this, be proud.

 

[Viggo Rasmussen]

If you want to believe in karma, maybe Thumper was mean to another kitty?

 

[Ms.FemmeFatale]

this exactly!

... and incidentally the shots aren't nearly as bad as they used to be, I remember my cousin getting a series of two dozen shots in his stomach years ago, now it's only four shots in your ass.

Ya, I don't know what he is bitching about. A good Greek provider can do that in a day easy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Like a cat loving SP sending you a PM to offer a free hh or hour? Now that would be pay it forward.

So it's your job to rescue animals from highway? If so, you can get workers comp. Insurance?

 

[Viggo Rasmussen]

Do you wear a special cat rescue uniform?

 

[Aardvark154]

No good deed goes unpunished. The only up side is as Jennifer posted it's only four shots now, and I understand from those who have had them, that its much less painful than it was decades ago.

 

[SillyGirl]

Don't you have to get the shots within 72 hours of exposure for them to be effective?

 

[Worf]

I tend to disagree. It's a cat. If thumper didn't rescue it it may be dead. And who know, it might be dead soon if it went back on the highway/road. But what could have happened to thumper? Rabies. Could have been run over. He may have family at home. So daddy dies while rescuing a cat. Stupid reason to die. Daddy could spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair if disabled. Cat runs free. Sounds stupid to me. Don't get me wrong. I have a cat. And I do like it. But me risking my life for it? Or a stray cat? Absolutely no way.

 

[Alfonzo]

Another issue for you to think about. A cat's bite frequently leads to infection. If it does, you need to be in emerg asap because, well, just trust me, don't assume an over the counter antibiotic cream will work.

Good one MFF!

And I'm with thumper on our 'love' of cats. Now pussy, that's a different story

I really feel for you thumper, but if its any consolation, your heart was in the right place. I know there little fukers, I have 4 of them home myself..(Thanks to my daughter) !!!!

 

[nobody123]

Like everyone said, you done right big time Thumper. It's the folks with solid good instinct like you that may hate cats and/or kids, but are the ones there in a flash to save them when shit hits the fan.

... and incidentally the shots aren't nearly as bad as they used to be, I remember my cousin getting a series of two dozen shots in his stomach years ago, now it's only four shots in your ass.

No shit? That's good to know. In that case I'll be less of a big fat Nancy (apologies for bein' all sexist like) next time a bat gets in the house and just nab the little fucker with a towel.

 

[one.of.a.kind]

Yep. Life can be like that.

 

[great bear]

Look at it this way. If you had of left him on the highway he would have become kitty litter.
