This afternoon I took a rushed trip out to Eugene and Cottage Grove to fetch back Google and Fiona. What are the odds that both these cats had dog encounters? Google was mauled by a German Shepherd when the Shepherd jumped a high barrier in the house and grabbed Goog by her throat!
Fiona on the other hand, when confronted by a very large pit bull decided to defend herself and did so well enough that the dog got the worst of it! YAY Fiona! The husband was really angry when he came back from a vacation to find out his wife adopted a cat without his knowledge and his “$2,200.00 pit bull had a messed up face!” He made some ugly threats about what he would do to Fiona if I didn’t come and get her NOW!!!
Both cats are back with me- Google seems to be quite painful in her shoulders and belly area- and Fiona aka Warrior Queen has retired to the top of the cat condo. What a day! I will watch Goog overnight and then depending on what happens tomorrow, I may have to take her to the vet for a check. I don’t even know when this grab took place. I am waiting to hear from her last owner who wasn’t home when I fetched Goog off her porch (in a cat carrier)>
Yikes! Some people don’t deserve to have a cat (or a dog either from the sound of it.)
Hope Google is O.K. just muscle soreness and nervous upset. Can just imagine how I would feel if some scary monster that much bigger than me grabbed me by the throat and shook me around.
Good on Fiona, the Warrior Queen.
At least you got them back safely! Hope they both recover quickly under your love and care.
The poor cats. I can understand the man’s anger at being presented with a cat he had no idea was coming, but the fact that he stressed the cost of the dog suggests what’s really important. I feel sorry for the dog! As Ann wrote, at least the kittens are back with you. I hope Google is not seriously hurt. Any veterinary costs should come from the owners of the German shepherd.
oh geez……
Yes they should, but just the fact that she isn’t returning my calls sort of tells me that probably won’t happen. I know when you adopt a cat, you accept responsibility for that animal. But yesterday, when she told me that Google was biting mad every time she went to try and get her in the house and she decided to just let her live under her neighbor’s house for the duration. I knew, I had to go and get Google back. I have an appointment with both Google and Roscoe who never has fully recovered from his bungee episode at 11:00 today. 🙁
Someone better tell that dude that if an eight pound (or thereabouts) kitten can beat up his $2,200 pit bull, he better retire that doggy from the ring. He’s not gonna win any money with that woofer.
Purrrrrrsss for Google and Fiona.
