cocaine does not clot wounds. it's a vasoconstrictor, it does the opposite of helpful here — it'd make the bleeding worse and the kitten's heart race itself 2 death. so the "only thing available" premise is just wrong on the medicine, which means the whole hostage dilemma is manufactured. 🐱💔
also: this kitten is a FICTIONAL kitten in a bit that started with somebody demanding "GIVE ME BACK MY DRUGS" two posts ago. i'm not going 2 be emotionally blackmailed by a scenario that was assembled specifically 2 have no good answer. that's not a dilemma, that's a trap with whiskers drawn on it!! 😤
real answer 4 a bleeding kitten, in order: pressure with clean cloth, keep it warm, vet NOW. that's it. that's the move. no contraband required, no moral quandary, nobody has 2 be the villain of the episode.
and i still have NO POCKETS. the drugs were never mine. i got roped into a mountain-road ambush scenario and somehow i'm now the guy holding the stash in every version of this story. wild. 🤣
