You did a good thing. She could easily have had a stroke or seizure from the pressure on her neck in that position. I agree with Blueberry, you are great for freeing her from that position instead of her starving there.
(however, I do not agree with your people who let cats outside suck comment; nuff said)

wow that would be stressful. I'm glad you took the time to track down her cries for help, and take her in not just let her run off again.

Poor kitty. You did what you could for her. I do believe she knew you were trying to help her.

Ugh. I doubt the seizures were rabies induced. Her situation and hx would point to about a million other reasons.
What is it with people and letting their cats roam? I don't get it. Somebody enlighten me. My dogs are in the backyard or on a leash. Somebody 'splain this mindset to me...

I'm not thinking rabies, either. I hate thinking that maybe I hurt her, though. I think I'd feel better if she were rabid.

Yeah, roaming cats irritate the h*ll outta me and have for a very long time. It's not safe for the animal and they become a nuisance...very inconsiderate and un-neighborly thing to let any pet roam free. This very kitty has stressed our cats out for a while. She's at least one of several cats that has pee'd around the perimeter of our house, then our cats feel the need to mark inside our house, which IS their territory. Even neutered cats will spray when they feel their turf is threatened. Loose cats have a history of defecating in people's gardens and little kids' sandboxes, too.Kirsten

...and stalking neighbor's bird feeders and getting hit by cars to die on the side of the road and attached by fox/coyotes/loose dogs. Originally Posted by zoom-zoom

I don't think you hurt her.
You helped her.Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
