My wife and I had just eaten at a restaurant near Tulsa's busiest intersection. In the parking lot, she spotted something moving. I crouched down and sure enough, it's a kitten -- a tiny one, heading away as fast as its little legs can run.
I tried to circle around when it got to the last car in the row -- and the little twirp immediately headed straight up, into the engine block of the car. Okay so now we're stuck. MEW! MEW! MEW! MEW! from inside someone's hood, meanwhile, it's 9:30 at night, no one else around, and again we're right next to an extremely busy road. And oh yeah, she's crouched in an engine. So many ways for this kitty to get killed.
After 15 minutes or so of coaxing and trying to fit under the car far enough to reach her, I went inside the restaurant to see if I could possibly find the owner of the car.
Amazingly, I did manage to find the owner, one of the waitresses. She grabbed her keys, and we headed outside... to find my wife standing there with the kitten in her arms.
Then, when we went to get her fixed, Mojo had a horrible reaction to the anesthetic and crashed. She was unresponsive for 3 days and we had to physically feed her with a syringe & express her bladder.
Vets said she was blind, and said we'd have to do physical therapy with her just so she could walk again.
Thanks to a lot of work and prayer, this baby is now a happy, healthy hellraiser who's a bit klutzy for a cat but we love her with all our hearts.
