i would like to share a story of mine, to this day i still can't explain it, and i don't want anything like this to ever happen again!
in HS, my family lived out in the country. the KY river was pretty much my backyard and the front yard was about 1 foot of grass and then the road, so my house was pretty much sitting right where the road started, which was scary because our house was sitting right at the bottom of a hill and right on the curve in the road and people were always flying around that curve. i'm surprised that we never woke up with a car in the living room! i had about 5 outdoor cats that i loved dearly and i was always concerned with them maybe getting hit by a car, but they were smart and never went into the road.
anyway, a friend was driving me home (i lived about 15 minutes away from civilization.) and i'll never forget the spot where it happened, all of a sudden i had a flash of my cat ty, in my head. it was like a photograph image in my head all of a sudden and in the image, she was laying in the road in a pool of blood and she was hurt. this scared me. why did a gruesome image like that appear in my head? i dismissed it as my constant fear about my cats getting hurt, but for the rest of car ride home, i kept thinking about it.
when we came around the curve (by the way, i never told my friend about this image while she was driving my home) i looked all around the road and was relieved to not see ty anywhere. my friend and i started up to my room to hang out and my brother said, "did you see ty?"
i imediately started to hysterically cry and i said, "she's dead isn't she?"
and he said," yes, she got hit by a car and she's still out there in the road."
oh my, i'm shaking and crying a little as i write this.
i went outside and she was there in the road with blood all around, exactly like the image i saw in my head, but she wasn't dead, there was blood coming out of her ears and her legs where broken and they looked all limp, but she was trying to walk. ty was crying to me and looking right in my eyes pleaing for me to help her. she was pregnant also. i scooped her up on a peice of cardboard and my friend took me to the animal ER and they had to put her to sleep along with the unborn kitties.
the only thing that i can guess is that ty and i had a special connection, she was my favortie cat and i think that maybe the image came into my head right at the exact moment that she got hit. i'm sure that someone was speeding around that curve and just kept moving. if they had been going at a reasonable speed, i'm sure they would have seen her or she could have gotten out of the way in time.
Some people are just born with tragedy in their blood.
