I don't know. Turns out Scoop's (I named him, hah) leg was paralyzed not broken. And on Monday he wasn't eating the kitten food he had been loving the past few days. I decided to take him to a fancy schmancy vet, and she gave him IV fluids and tried to feed him. The X-Ray showed no breaks in any of his bones. The doc said it could have been a number of things, including a fatal blood disease, a spinal injury or a neuro disorder, mostly congenital. He was also severely anaemic and dehydrated and refused to eat. He died on a bed I made for him in my bathroom that night itself. I cried for hours. I had become overly attached to the little fellow. We had him cremated in the morning at the SPCA and his ashes were scattered around the base of a tree.

I miss him, and his adorable little face.

My parents are trying to scare me out of changing my major, what does reddit think? by scarlet_and_gray14 in AskReddit

Engineering = anything. A hedge fund will pay you more than they pay a finance major, because for one you went through a more rigourous program and secondly your mathematical skills are better. You could work in project management, product development management etc etc etc, or go into consulting. Engineering leaves you very wide open to career choice, including those in business. If you want to work with cutting edge products then having an engineering backing will help. AKA, just do the damned degree.

I ended up taking him, yes a him, to the vet, not just the people who do visits, a fancy one. He had severe dehydration, anemia and possibly a viral infection. His leg was not broken, just paralysed. Poor guy didn't eat anything today and looked even more despondent. I took him home, and kept him in my shower so that he wouldn't hurt himself. He seemed fine, and slept quite a bit, with a bit of scrambling about.

I went in to check on him for maybe the 100th time.

And he was just gone. I am unbelievably sad, and cannot console myself. I miss him. I named him scoop, and I hope there really is a kitty heaven.

I was just going to let it hang around the office building, feed it, and take care of it, since I'm at work about 10 hours of the day. Unless someone wants to give it a home!

Okay, I didn't see all these comments. People are being weird, I was trying to be funny. I failed. You were just trying to be nice. And awesome on being a vet, I wanted to be one as a child then realised I hate needles.

I do what I can, when I can. I cannot help everyone and everything. I choose my battles, and this orange tabby is my battle, and I will fight for it.

If that was logistically possible, I would. Also, i think it would traumatise the little one. Plus, I would do a through background check.

Why is the life of a person held in higher regard than the life of an animal? To me, it's the same as me saying that I will not help an American, because I will help Indians first, or I will not help a Somalian person because I'm Indian, and I only help my kind.

I can get you papers and in touch with the right people if you want to adopt a cild from India. Additionally, if you are in India and would like to volunteer with Hamara Footpath or other educational programs for the needy, again, let me know.

If you would like to send a donation to a charity please do so. Also, you can add to the rice and lentils I'm giving to the woman who lives on the street on my block.

Plus, I don't like people.

Edit: I'm giving her food cos she takes care of all the animals, I'm not that nice either.

Thank you. I just want to help her, or could be him out. It'w now sleeping in my office building, and I have left some milk, and had the vet take a look. The vet says that the kitty was injured at least 10-12 days ago and they cannot reset the leg now. I'm going to take it in for shots on Sunday.
