Oops... forgot to say happy friday the 13th ._. though it's too late now.
Even though it's friday the 13th, I never had one as happy as this one. The day was perfectly fine, nothing went wrong. I planned not to go out incase misfortunes happen outdoors cause I'm supersticious like that. But went out anyway cause Phaik invited me and Bryan for dinner at Simpang.
We went to Phaik's house and she and Bryan spent hours having a happy yaoi photoshoot time with their dolfies in Phaik's room. Roziel is Phaik's doll. Yousuke is Bryan's. I'm not into dolfies. I'm into plushies. The whole time I was reading her manga.
We went out for dinner at about 7. When we were heading back at about 8...
The road was narrow so we had to make way for a car. I caught a glimpse of a cat near the car tyre and thought that it was gonna hit the cat, but it didn't. After the car left, I told them about the cat, but before I finished speaking, what we saw was... well... we stared at the cat for about 5 seconds before we approached it.
It was lying still at the side of the road. Super still. Its eyes were half open, its mouth was slightly open, it was gasping for air, and there was blood. All over the pavement in spots and dripping from its mouth. It was a white cat.
The car didn't hit it. The cat was already there. But what actually happened? It couldn't have been a fight. Its arms and the rest of its body have no injuries. Only its head. One of its eyes are bulging. It should be an impact on its skull. Hit and run?
We were panicking and none of us knew the SPCA's number so I told Bryan to get the operator's number. He called his dad to get the operator's number, then asked the operator for the SPCA's number, then passed the phone to Phaik who lives there and therefore knows the place best. We waited with the poor creature for almost half an hour. Passers-by stared at us and at it. When cars approached, me and Bryan stood by the it so the cars would avoid it.
We waited till a man carrying a cage approached us. He picked up the cat and put it into the cage and walked away. My heart was racing as he slowly put the cat into that cage. It's just a normal cage where people use to put healthy animals. They should at least use a stretcher or put some cushion. And the way he held the cat too... its head was lolling I was so afraid its fragile skull would crack even more.
It was a painful sight.
I may be overreacting it... but it's my first time seeing such a thing. There was a little bloody lump about half a meter away from it too. Possibly a body part from God knows where. This trauma would probably be with me for a long time.
The saddest thing was, when I returned to Phaik's house, and told her mother about it, she said that she saw the cat earlier. In that state. That means that cat has been out there for quite a long time. And no one cared? Even when so many passers-by walked past, no one noticed? Even when it was right outside a row of landed houses, no one bothered to check on it? It was a white cat. On black asphalt. There's no reason why nobody actually haven't noticed it. It pains me when I realised this...
And when the cat is in the SPCA, what's gonna happen to it? The SPCA is voluntary thing, I heard. And it receives very low funding. What's gonna happen to it? Die in vain?
It really is painful to see and realise all these things happening... We just now discussed that we're gonna try volunteering ourselves at the SPCA after O's. Phaik tried before, 4 years ago, but left quickly. She said it was a painful job. People are abandoning their pets in very saddening states, she says.
The rest of the night went sour, so we tried to cheer ourselves up by watching White Chicks. lawl. Well... at least I'm glad we did something for that little critter...
*sobs* T^T *trauma~trauma~*
Well at least I borrowed Phaik's .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet manga from her. All 3 volumes. I could cheer myself up a little fangirling over BalmungxReki >.> ...
