The old saying goes that a cat has 9 lives. There are many theories to this quote, but I think it is because cats are so curious and seem to survive so many things and situations that could have cost them their life. Jayden found a kitten that lost 2 of it's 9 lives in a very short amount of time under her care. While doing horse chores one day, she came across a half grown kitten laying in the mud. She thought it was dead and gave it a little nudge. It picked up its head and made a dreadful meow. Jayden took it to her home, cleaned it up and decided if it made it through the night, she would take it to the vet. She was doubtful it would survive. Sure enough she did and the next day got an iv and slowly perked back to health. It wasn't long after that, she had been letting the cat outside for a bit to roam. That time she thinks Noah's dog Turbo may have been roughing her up.. Jayden found her wet in the cold laying on a pile of snow...frozen. Jayden said she was so cold, stiff and lifeless, she was sure she was dead this time. She brought in in her house and told Noah to see what he thought and put her down if needed. Since it was still alive, she tried warming her up using a hair dryer. She took her to the vet where they laid her on warm water bottles. Once again she pulled through. Both of these situations put a toll on her. Jayden didnt think she was right, she wouldnt jump up on the couch and would walk funny. Her tail was bent funny and she would carry it like it was broken. She had the sniffles and sneezed all the time. She was on antibitoics and steriods. She was also getting to be a very expensive cat. Jayden loved her though it all and she likes having her to cuddle. She calls her Kat.
