Sorry guys but I just have to vent.
A couple of hours ago we had to put down our 18 month old cat.

Night before last he didn't come home, which has only happened 3 or 4 times before.
Normally he slept in our bed snuggled up to my wife.
Yesterday around dinner time he came home.
He couldn't move his back end much and he was obviously in a lot of pain.
He slept in our bed all evening and all night, next to my wife.
We took him to the vet this morning, and after examining him and x-rays this is what the vet said.
SOMEBODY KICKED THE CAT SO HARD THAT IT SHATTERED HIS HIP AND PELVIS.
The vet said that it was a miracle that he made it home and it showed how much he loved my wife.
His front claws were ripped apart from dragging himself home.

The vet said there was absolutely nothing that could be done for him.

Most people that know me will tell you that I am one of the calmest and most even tempered people they know.

Right now I am so angry that I hope I don't find out who did it.

My wife and kids are devastated over this both by the loss of their cat and the thought that someone could do this.

I have to get off now, before this laptop gets imbedded in a wall
