Kitten tossed from moving car finds new home
By KOMO StaffSEATTLE -- If cats have nine lives, this one is down to eight. The little black kitten was tossed out in the most horrible way imaginable, and one couple witnessed it. Georgia Migliuri and her husband were driving on the highway, cruising toward a concert at the Gorge Amphitheatre when they came across a deeply disturbing scene. "I see this kitten fly out of the window, head first," Migliuri said. The driver of the truck from which the kitten came did not stop. The critter barely dodged the trucks' back tire. "It just does cartwheels across the other lane and ends up in the ditch on the other side," Migliuri said. Migliuri then slammed her brakes and ran from her car, calling the cat.
Bashed up and bleeding from head to tail, somehow the kitten had survived. "She was skinned up above the eye. There's a scab on her lip," Migliuri said. "Her legs are banged up pretty badly in the back still." The kitten didn't suffer any internal injuries, but that doesn't help ease Migliuri's anger toward its previous owner. "Immediately I thought it was tossed out of the window, but my husband said 'Don't jump to conclusions.' But they didn't stop," Migliuri said. On Friday a veterinarian gave the kitten her shots and a clean bill of health. Migliuri already owned too many pets but managed to find the kitten a new owner. Its new name is Phoenix, because she rose from the ashes. |
