Hailey's Page
A kitten was hanging around work one fall morning back in 2003. She was meowing and wanting to go through the door with everyone who came in so I went outside to take a look at her. She's completely black, velvety, and very mellow; she started purring the moment I picked her up. She was also a little banged up; her nose was raw and there was a cut by her eye and ear. I figured she'd been in a fight and had probably been dumped. But she was pretty plump and healthy looking otherwise, so I called my vet to get her an appointment. I wanted to make sure she was healthy; I didn't want to bring an unhealthy kitten home to meet my very healthy and boisterous cat I already own.
She's healthy declared the vet, and she probably sustained her injuries not from a fight with another cat, because they're more abrasions than cuts, but by either 1) being thrown from a moving vehicle or 2) being hit by a moving vehicle.
So I brought her home, got her all patched up and purring again, and decided to name her Hailey :) |
