I am so angry right now

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

That sucks, sorry for your loss. I'll admit I don't even like cats that much but is just wrong.

Sorry to hear bro. cant believe someone would do that. family pets are part of the family too. what goes around comes around.

Sorry to hear that Bill. Some people are just evil SOB's. They'll get theirs in the end.

I am not a cat person, but I understand the fact a pet is part of the family. I can only imagine how you feel about this, but I will happily join your linch mob.

Bill, I am sorry to hear this. Some people don't deserve to breath.

I'm so sorry to hear that, I have 4 cats myself and know how I would react in the same situation.

People are really cruel to animals, cats in particular, they don't understand what loving and unique pets they can be. My wife volunteers at a shelter, and you will not believe the horror stories we hear about animal cruelty, I don't even want to repeat them here.

This is the reason none of our cats are allowed outside.

Needless to say, sign me up for the mob if you find out who did this.

Sorry to hear about this CBC. This is just disgusting.

Where do they grow people like this.....That soil should be sterilized!


Wishing a flippin nuclear Karma Bomb on them!

Mob ON!

I can understeand that it can be a situation when you have to hit ,shot another men ,but a cat ? This kind of people are very sick .

Unfortunately some people are just evil and sick, sorry to ear about that mate.

First off let me state it is wrong to harm an animal in this fashion. Unacceptable. However, having been on the other side of the fence for every cat that loves you, that cat hates someone else. I love cats, but when I have a dozen strays that peform their duty in my garden they have to go. They also ruined my neighbors porch swing from urinating on it. I humanely trap them and survey the neighbors before turning them over to the SPCA. Please if you love your animals keep them in your yard.

I don't care if someone like cats or hates them.
If you don't want a cat in your yard, then hit it with a bucket of water, spray it with a hose.
Pepper spray it if you are that desperate (if you don't want to talk to your neighbours or trap them).
But there is no excuse for animal cruelty.
This cat was virtualy paralysed in his back end.
He tore away his front claws dragging himself back home.

I hunt and I grew up on a hobby farm, I but I do not abide by the needless suffering of any animals.

I cannot think of a single house on our street that doesn't have a cat, and just about all of them have dogs as well.

I will be going door to door and letting my neighbours know that there is a sick %^&* in our area and what he did.

Yep, my dogs are as close a thing to kids as we have or will have... I would be pissed as well mate. I am sorry for your family's loss mate.

Sorry to hear about your cat. Its sad how some people treat defenseless animals. What comes around goes around, I'm sure they will get there's in the end.

Well you know Patty and I love dogs, witness our SPOILED 14 year old Penny. We also like cats although we don't own any now.

ANYONE who would do that to an animal deserves a beating, PERIOD! They need to know how it feels to be broken and battered. They say that anyone who brutalizes an animal for no reason is a person that is not right in the head. If they find them, lock them up for about a week with no food, then beat the crap out of them and take them about 15 miles out into the woods and tell them to crawl home!

Sorry for your loss, There are some sicko's out there. I have to believe they all eventually get what they deserve.

Sorry for your loss...

I'm a cat person(got 2) & that pisses me off too.
I'm very sorry for your families loss Bill.

Sorry coyotebc, its crappy if someone did that. Is is possible it was done by a vehicle?

No the vet said there is a very distinct pattern to an injury caused by a kick. It is unfortunately well documented.
He was otherwise uninjured except for the front claws that where worn away/ripped out when he dragged himself home (virtually paralyzed in the back end)

Trouble was tattooed and he had a collar with an id tag with my wife's and oldest daughters phone numbers on it.

If he caused problems for anyone, they could just call him and he would come, then they could phone us.
All the neighbours for at least 1/2 block around knew where he lived

His love and need to be with his loving family gave him all the power he needed Youte.

To say I am sorrowed by this is not enough. I feel the loss of a pet as I do a family member. I always have. To me they are just as much a part of the family.

For a human to commit such a heartless and heinous crime "and it IS a crime" is way beyond my comprehension.
What would drive a man "I assume" to do such a thing is terrifying.

A harmless house pet to be brutalized is plain sick.

My prayers are in your home this night. I will pray for comfort and patience to blanket you all. Comfort knowing the love that drove a beautiful cat like that home through such crippling pain to his loved ones for comfort.

Patience for the God I worship and adore to deliver the person responsible to justice. If not through the Constables then through Gods wrath itself.

I have little doubt this deed will come back to him 10 fold. And deservedly so.

Let your family know we all stand behind you in this. And prayers are sent for the cat you all love so dearly.

Blessings all around your home B.C.

Peace.

Thank you all

People make me sick. Sorry for your families loss.

This makes me sick, I can't even imagine how upset you are. I second JJ, I'll happily join your lynch mob!
