New cat day!

I scooped this little guy out of 50 mph rush hour traffic after he was hit by a car yesterday evening. I was sure he was dying, and he would have been in a few moments if I hadn't reached him quicky. Surprisingly, he had no visible injuries other than favoring one leg.

I took him straight to a 24 hour pet ER, fearing he would need to be euthanized but X-rays showed the worst of his injuries was a slight pulmonary edema. We left him overnight at the vet, and the doctor said he sounded better today, so we brought him home this afternoon. We'll need to watch him closely for the next few days, but we're hopeful we'll be able to introduce him to our other 2 adult cats soon.

He had an IV on his leg overnight. He's so small the vet didn't have a cone that fit, so she made this one from a paper plate.
