During our short trip, the kitten coughed up more blood. I remembered my vet schooling books. &quot;Why is he spitting up blood?&quot; Ryuuki glanced for a minute at the kitten. &quot;I think whatever bit him got to an organ; It's causing internal bleeding and his trachea and esophagus are getting clogged up. It's like instant tuberculosis,&quot; I said, wiping the kitten's mouth carefully. &quot;How do you know so much?&quot; &quot;Quiet and listen; I need someone to reel this off to, or I might forget,&quot; I inspected the kitten closely. &quot;Whatever left this bite was definitely another feline. There are claw marks and if it were a dog, biting this viciously, the kitten would be torn in half. But the bite seems bigger than a domestic cat; Do you think he ran into a bobcat or something?&quot; I asked. I tried to make the kitten as comfy as possible. &quot;Dunno.&quot; We drove into the parking lot and we both got out hastily. &quot;Hang in there, little buddy,&quot; I gasped as we ran. 2008-02-26T00:29:04Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/22486 <p>that poor little kitty=[</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/22486?basename=43827 2008-02-26T00:29:04Z One Time, One Chance http://ficlets.com/authors/one_chance
