Very Upset.

On our walk this morning I came across a cat toying with a mouse. The cat ran away but the mouse was in a bad way and I had to put it out of its misery.

I've never had to do that before, never thought I'd be capable of it, and it's upset me loads. I can't get the picture of it out of my head.

I would be the same but you know you did the right and kindest thing

Thanks, yeah I know. Wish I'd got there later though.

I know how you feel, Linda. I had to do this with a badly injured sparrow many years ago, and I still remember it so clearly.

Hugs honey - you're one of life's good people xxx

never mind i would be the same ,you did the kindest thing

Thanks. Cr*p though, isn't it?

Have had cats all my life and have saved lots of little creatures and set them free again, knowing that they will die of fright. I probably should have done what you did but could never bring myself to, be proud you though more of it than yourself x

Yep - total pants! *hugs*

It's really sad - I don't like it either.

Takoda caught a baby rabbit not so long ago, he was looking down a rabbit hole and just plucked it out...

He let it go and it was still alive but couldn't move - so I told him to finish the job - I wish he would have in the first place but he actually tries to be gentle with them - like he only wants to carry it around as a friend rather then kill it. He seems quite stressful when he 'realises'.

So anyway he did pick it up again - just to walk a few steps and gently put it down again - trouble is, it was in the middle of a deep puddle so the poor thing was gonna drown - I felt so upset by this time then we had to scoop the poor mite out and was going to help it on it's way when a group of ppl came along so we had to lay it down out of sight and wait for them to leave - and then finally do what we had to - I felt horrible

I hate it when the picture of something stays in your head. So sad. Poor mouse.

Today we were travelling along the Coventry Road and a young fox was at the side of the road, been hit be a car..............so sad
