She has NEVER gone near the road, and I do not know what inspired her to do so this evening, but when DH and I returned from bowling, we saw a kitty in the road (we live hear a busy highway) and he went to look...it was our baby...she was maybe 6 months old, a beautiful white with gray splotches and the sweetest white face with a gray spot on her head and another down the middle of her nose, and big gray spots on her back....
when we would try to get near, she would run and hide behind a one gallon size perennial plant, figuring we could not see her there...she wanted to be touched, and would roll over and expose her belly, but when we would get within 3 feet, she was up and running to hide...
She finally let Sammie near enough to play the other day, he was on his retractable leash, and I just kept "reeling him in" and she would follow...she laid down and he was using his nose to rub her belly and she was in heaven, so I slowly reached down and was able to touch her for a moment before she realized it was a human hand...I figured if I did this every day, I could eventually catch her and get her to a good safe home...
DH touched her one last time to lay her to rest this evening...at least she did not suffer and it happened fast...there was not a drop of blood anywhere around her, so we know she was hit hard enough and fast enough to die instantly...but it is still hard to deal with...
Please pray for a safe journey for this little girl...
