With employment comes liability. In attempt to reduce this, employers require testing of their employers. In most cases, this is quite effective. In cases involving That’s Not Chinese, the liability usually skyrockets.
Required to take a CPR exam, she did so and did not pass. Luckily, the only requirement was that the test be taken. With this test and her newly acquired skills on her mind, That’s Not Chinese came home, poured a glass of wine, and sat down to relax when, all of a sudden, she was being put to the test.
Her kitten was moving her head around in a strange direction and, based on That’s Not Chinese’s superb training, appeared to be choking.
That’s Not Chinese did not hesitate to help and immediately began mouth to mouth and chest compressions. When this wasn’t appearing to resolve the situation immediately That’s Not Chinese stuck her hand in her cat’s mouth in an attempt to retrieve whatever item might be causing the choking. This resulted in blood everywhere as a result of That’s Not Chinese’s hand and forearm scratching against the cat’s teeth.
That’s Not Chinese finally stopped for a second – while Unfazed was totally fazed and crying nearby – and realized her kitten was not choking, rather, trying to wiggle out of her collar because it had crawled up over her jaw. Nothing life threatening, until That’s Not Chinese, as Tree put it, “fisted the cat’s mouth.”
At that point, the kitten probably could have used CPR, but That’s Not Chinese was clearly not the one to administer it.
