My autobiography ( a work in progress)My Kitten
2007-04-16
I had a cat named Matrix. she had a litter in the back of chris's truck. we didn't know this. he went to his grandparents house and heard kittens mewing in the back of his truck. we he looked Matrix freaked out and ran up a tree. when she finally came down she ran in the road and was killed. that was about a month ago. we took the kittens to my mother. she fed them and she has another female cat who she talked into helping her groom them. only one survived. that's Hemi. my baby. he's four weeks old and looks two weeks old. well... my mother, in her excitement about her wedding and honeymoon, forgot about poor Hemi. luckily chris and i stopped by to tell them to have fun on their honeymoon. we asked who was taking care of Hemi and Heath said he didn't know. turned out they forgot. so we got his milk and took him with us. well... i spent the night with chris saturday night, so i asked my grandmother to please feed him in the morning before she went to church. when i got home yesterday, my little sister told me that Hemi was dying. Mimi had forgotten to feed him. she didn't remember until 4pm. i was so mad. so last night i stayed up all night trying to bring Hemi back from the brink of death. they had brought Dinah... the other cat... over to clean him and make him use the bathroom. but Dinah was nervous because my grandma has a cat and they didn't get along. finally though she calmed down and started grooming Hemi. he looked so pitiful. he could barely meow. and couldn't hold his head up. he was barely breathing, and his heartbeat was so faint. i cried. but i brought him and Dinah back to my bedroom and brought his milk back there. i tried to feed him...though he wouldn't really eat. and i kept encouraging Dinah to clean him. i went to sleep for an hour. when i woke up i checked on Hemi. he was so cold i thought he had died. but when i picked him up he let out a weak cry, so i knew he was alive. i put my heater on my bed, wrapped him up in a blanket in front of it, and pressed him to my body to warm him. i rubbed his belly and his limbs to warm him too. after awhile he started moving around more and meowing louder. i tried to feed him and got him to eat a little bit. about 4:45 am i felt he was doing well enough for me to sleep. i did until... 6 am. when i woke up Hemi looked so much healthier. i was so incredibly happy. but, needless to say, i was still completely exhausted this morning. so i stayed home today and slept for awhile. i'm pretty sure that Hemi is going to be just fine.
