Cats don’t swim….
Posted by Leeb - 11/11/08 at 08:11:17 pmOr shouldn’t at any least.
Having parked the car at the marina on a high note from an awesome days being and doing, I hear a sound. Can’t make it out at first - is it a seagull or boat? Nope it sounds like a cat crying.
MC runs in the direction of the cry -as my cat has a tendancy to jump off the wharf when she is chased….- sure enough there is Missy in the water trying to remain afloat on some ropes securing a yacht.
Now I know not everyone likes cats - and in NZ I’m pretty sure few would shed a tear for the little bird murdering creatures, but an animal in pain isn’t very pleasing to listen to [unless you are one of the humans mentioned in my earlier blogs...who'll be dealt with when I get to power...] anyway, there are two blokes in my story.
The two men are about 15′ away from my cat, I heard her from about 100′ away in the car park….did these guys really not give a shit? I spoke to them to ask for a net to rescue my pet - and so ascertaining that they weren’t deaf….the response “oh, is that your cat?” got me interested….what the #$@#$%$#ing difference does that make? This animal is obviously in some sort of distress -hmm shall I a) leave it to drown slowly? b) help it? I hope he doesn’t cut himself and start bleeding out…..a) Do I torniquet? or b) “MC, can you pls go grab a cup…it’ll be black pudding tommorrow for breakfast”…mmmmm.
I cannot 100% definitely say these guys heard her cry for help from 15′ away…..so therefore I can only assume that my hearing should be insured for billions, as I obviously have the X-men factor with my superman hearing from 100′.
My observation of some of my fellow [in]human animals never cease to astound me.
