Well so far it has not proved itself hostile and it might prove useful.. but she intends to keep an eye on it. As the two men discuss matters, she looks from one to the other wishing she could understand. And she considers that maybe they should check on Jezzabella's burden. Could she get her burden there? Her eyes close as she ponders the problem.

He gingerly slipped his fingers in and around her fragile bones to check for any unexpected movement. Stopping his examination, he slipped his hands upward. "Yes, looks like there is a rabies tag here. If nothing else we can look her up." He raised his voice "Ella, can you look up a rabies vaccination record for us?" The young woman answered "yes, what is the number." "8675309," the man called back through the closed door. "Ok looking it up. I will print out the record when I find it."

She has at least two or three ribs broken. That way we can keep her from moving too much. The owner will have to keep her calm as he or she can." The young woman opened the door and brought in a single sheet of paper. "Looks like an older lady here in town is registered as the owner. Miss McNally."

Still.. she purrs.

I don't want to say I doubt your story, I don't. But from the damage, it really looks like she was kicked. That kind of abuse shouldn't be allowed to happen."

I found her like... the way she is and have no idea how it happened." He paused a long moment. "I did not hurt the cat. If I had, do you think I would have brought her here to you?"

But I don't sense that. Don't take my words for anything directed against you. I just hate to see things like this. They happen too often, even in a small town like this. All of us are on edge since the boy went missing." It wasn't exactly a request for forgiveness, but it was close.

Didn't meant to jump to conclusions about what you meant." He smiled a wan sort of smile as he continued to stroke the little cat purring on his left arm. "I've been a little bit on edge myself."

He slathered it onto a dense mesh wrap that he had put around the cat's middle. His movements were sure, yet gentle. "I didn't mean anything either. Like I said. I am sure the boy's mother is just out of her mind. I know how tough it is on me when one of my cats wanders off for a day. A child, I just don't know what that would do to me."

You have a pet, I have seen you at some time or another. "Take you for example. I know you are new in town because I have never seen your cat. Your cat is well cared for, but she has had a scare in her past. She seeks your attentions and you give them, both wonderful things, but not that common a behavior. If I were to guess I would say you got her from a shelter." He smiled at Jayden.

Jayden frowned, looked down at the cat and then back up at the vet. He knew he should leave the older cat in the veterinarian's care, but something made him reluctant to do so. "Take good care of her, Doc," he said, gesturing at the unconscious feline. "Let her owner know how to get in touch with me if she wants to." He turned to leave but paused at the door in case the vet had something else to say.
