Hug something.

It is absolutely heartbreaking the things people do to animals.  We were at Kohl's tonight to return a pair of shoes that we had purchased on super mega sale, and because I had my foot doctor appointment today, and am still in the brace, and can never wear cute shoes again, I had to say goodbye.  Well, anyway, when we were pulling out of the parking lot, I saw an animal run across it.  Me being the super animal freak that I am, was like "OMG!  STOP!  AN ANIMAL!  WE MUST SAVE IT!"  So Jason, as per usual, humored me, and drove towards it... until we saw it was actually injured.  It was a small black cat (my cat weakness) and it literally looked like someone ripped half it's tail off.  :(  It was pink, and shiny, and fresh.  We tried to catch it, but after about 10 minutes of chasing it in the105 º darkness, and it running away, to go to the Petsmart catty corner from where we were (completely forgetting there is a Petco in the same parking lot.  We rush to Petsmart to frantically ask if they know of someone, anyone, who can help us.  The cat shelter is there, and they are "closed" minus the lady sitting there reading a book.  She hands us a pamphlet, and tells us that the Humane Society works out of the Petco across the street (thanks, where were you 5 minutes ago?)  So we head back across the street.  Consensus:  We need to catch it before we call one of the 8 million numbers.  We try to catch it some more.  It's limping as well.  Jason says he will try to catch it, and I go to Petco, who is even less helpful, especially considering that the Humane Society isn't even working out of there anymore.  Frustrating.  Basically, it is up to us to save this thing.  Good luck and a nice shove out the door.  More frustration.  Attempt, for the next 30 minutes to catch this thing, hopping from car to car, looking creepy, me in all black and limping around, and Jason... being... Jason.  Heh.  No luck.  Gave up.  Unless the thing walked into our lap, there was no way we could catch him, or help him.  Ugh.  I just hate what people do to animals, with no thought or consideration to them.  It kills me... kills me like I want to kill them.  SO MUCH.  I hate people more than I could ever imagine sometimes.
