Terrible thing I had to do today.

Growing up on a farm, I ended up nursing back to health a number of animals that were injured or abandoned, including a number of baby birds caught by cats and pretty messed up, as well as a kitten that got caught in a fan belt.
I just can't stand to see an animal in distress not be taken care of.
The most amazing one was a baby pigeon, that was all pink, and had yellow fuzz instead of feathers.

Which is how I ended up with Kowalski. She was a tiny kitten abandoned behind my garage in Long Beach, and I ended raising her.
