My Poor Tabby Cat :(

Unrelated to my weightloss journey, but I just had to share.

My poor sweet tabby cat :( If any of you know my cat, Tabby, you know she is a loner. She is our "tom cat" of the yard. She very rarely will actually let us hold her, or even pet her. She is timid to say the least ( I think we have our lab to thank for that). Sometime during the night she got herself stuck in the pasture fence and completely tangled in a shrub. By the time we got to her this morning at 6:30 she was bloody and her foot was bent backward and lodged in the wires. We cut her loose and she walked away with her foot dragging the ground. Much to our surprise she went straight to the house. I followed her and she let me pick her up. I realized at that moment just how much pain she was in. She was so limber and calm. For her to let me hold her that close and comfort her is a very foreign concept to Tabby.  My mom and I brought her inside and began doctoring her up. I think that the circulation had been cut off to her foot. She lets us move it gently without crying, so I think she will be fine. For now, she is exhausted and completely worn out. She had a very rough night of struggling, I imagine. :( She has slept since 7 this morning and just now got up to use the bathroom. She is yet to drink or eat, but my dad says to give it time she is just exhausted.  She has two wounded feet, and a third that is sore. Her tongue is also cut, not bad - just bad enough to aggravate her. It seems the barbed wire she was stuck in won the battle :(
