Blood Dripping On The Road

Last weekend, I was about to cross a small road between two malls. There was a bump to prevent car from speeding. When I was about to cross, I stop and had a bad feeling about one Myvi that will pass in front of me. After the Myvi pass by, I crossed the road. Suddenly something small was moving on the road and catches my eyes. It was a kitten.

I pick her up while she's struggling after been hit. Her right eye pooped out from the socket. Not sure about the left eye. But her head was bleeding. When I picked her from the road, her blood kept on dripping. I placed her at the other side of the road and sat next to her to calm her down while panicking and calling my friends on what to do as I don't have any experience like this. The kitten head was knocked over.  She is a small 2 months old, fluffy ginger tabby. 

After struggling for less than 30 seconds, she went to the rainbow bridge. I'm sorry sayang. I didn't have the chance to do anything. I called a friend to bring some paper for me to wrap her. When I transferred her on the paper from the ground, her blood dripped to the ground. The paper was torn because it was too wet due to her blood loss. I wrapped extra paper. A stranger come and helped me to remove the blood from the pavement by rubbing grass on it.

I called a friend as I remember he met a cat that was knocked down before and asked him on what to do. After few minutes of thinking and considering, I placed the wrapped kitten's body in a plastic bags that my friend got from a stall nearby and placed somewhere safe first outside the mall. Just hoping and praying that the plastic still there when the event finish and I can bring her home to be bury as I don't have any shovel at the moment to bury her nearby there.

The plastic was still there. A friend of mine have shovels in her car. So we dig a hole nearby the mall to bury the kitten's body. I'm sorry. That is the best thing me and my friends can do.

For days I blamed myself. When I already calmed down, I think rationally. The kitten's fur was very very soft, she had a healthy body, there was no strays at that area. I've made an assumption that she was someone's pet that went into somebody's car and when the car pass by the bump, she fell and another car or the same car, ran into her head.

Poor kitty. Please be a responsible owner/human being.
