This afternoon after my sister pulls up in Grandma's car, Dad comes in and tells me one of the cats won't move out from under the wood hauling trailer. Said cat was shedding badly, and wasn't interested in water.

Dad thought he'd been bitten by a snake.
We let him be for a while. Dad said we should just keep checking on him. We went to check on him about 45 minutes later, and he'd dissapeared.

I kept looking for him but didn't see him until Mom got home from work and came inside looking panicked, and saying 'something is wrong with Seamus'

We took him in to the vet, because he was doing worse.

I held him in the car, and he was getting stiff, and vocal on the way.

The vet said his back had been injured, possibly broken, and his hind legs didn't seem to have any feeling in them...

We ended up putting him down...

Please... Don't say anything to me about we should have taken him in earlier...

I wanted to take him in but dad wanted to give him a chance on his own, and it wouldn't have made a difference...

That's all...
