all right, we've found Strudel.
yesterday was a super hectic day. first i woke up at 9+ AM cos i kept jolting out of my sleep. first i would sleep nicely, then suddenly Strudel would come into my mind then i'd wake up and worry abt him, then go back and sleep. hours later the cycle would start again. maxine ang said i was suffering frm anxiety attacks. :x
so anyway, at 9+ i couldnt sleep anymore although i desperately needed sleep after waking up at 6 am for 3 consecutive days because of the Orientation 2.
so i washed up, put on a jacket [cos i didnt bother to change] and went downstairs to look for Strudel. i even searched the blk until the 8th storey [cos i didnt think Strudel could go that far]. thought i saw him under a car, but it turned out it was grass instead.
claudia ang had gone for camp, but as i said yesterday she'd e mailed SPCA and she wrote down her e mail password so i could check for replies frm SPCA. and sure enough there was! like i said again, in a nutshell the woman said that she thinks SPCA has Strudel and has a suspected fractured hip bone.
i didnt dare to call SPCA cos i was scared i'd start bawling my head off once i started talking. so woke maxine ang up at 11 am and she called them. dont know which person answered and said that cat which was possibly Strudel was paralysed!!!! totally scared me ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
left the house around 11 and took a cab down to SPCA. and that cat WAS Strudel! guess what. he fell out of the kitchen window. he was lying in the cage and looked so so weak. went to do some admin matters so that we could bring Strudel off and found out that our 3rd floor neighbour had called SPCA when he saw Strudel lying at the bottom of the block at around 10 am the day before. so Strudel had been lying in SPCA for 1 day already!! and while maxine ang was filling out forms i called my cousin Chrishirl and started crying! like what the hell. it was so embarrassing for an almost 17 yr old to be crying away like that can.
called my cousin Chrishirl and waited for 1 hr before she came to pick us up to go to the vet, cos parents ang are in China until monday. during that time Strudel kept panting!! have you ever seen a cat pant?? panting is just something dogs do, not cats!! and he looked so scary panting can. and that person was totally wrong, Strudel was not paralysed ok!
when we went to the vet it was closed for lunchtime. so we went to eat lunch first and even when the vet opened we had to wait for another 3 hrs. jeez! Strudel took an X ray and he's broken both of his hind legs in different places. the left leg is broken at the hip, the right leg is broken at the knee.
so now Strudel is at the vet cos he's dehydrated and he's being put on a drip. spent $300, luckily we have a doggy/kitty fund.
gonna visit Strudel later with Cadbury! they miss each other ok. everytime we walked abt Strudel Cadbury would start meowing, and vice versa. and without Strudel Cadbury has nothing to do and comes to irritate us.
STRUDEL GET WELL! :)
