Please light a candle for a little gray tabby who went to the RB this
afternoon. We'd never seen him before, but he appeared on our
neighbors' porch, terribly hurt. Our neighbors came and got us (they
thought it was Tiger). Most of his face was gone, but he let me pick
him up and hold him and pet him until the vet could finish his farm
call and get to his office. There was no saving the little guy; he'd
been shot, two days ago by the vet's estimate, and so he was helped on
his way to the Bridge by our good vet.
What kind of person looks at a little furry kittyface and pulls a
trigger? How can the decent humans ever make up for the other kind?
This was turning into a long post, but I have just deleted paragraphs
of rage and frustration I can't even begin to adequately express. I am
glad this group is here - you nice people keep me from despairing of my
entire species.

Oh Krista, I'm so sorry. There just is NOT a place bad enough for people
like that. Poor kitty. At least he had some comfort at the end :(((((((

Indeed. Candles have been lit for the poor little soul, who knew he had to
go find help and comfort. And as Karen says, at least he was surrounded by
kindness at the end, and given a gentle escort across the Rainbow Bridge and
out of pain. May the person who did that to him remember that moment with
shame for the rest of their sorry life.

*real* gasp.
Oh my.
How absolutely revolting and despicable.
Poor little fellow. Poor brave, sweet little fellow who let you hold
him while in such terrible pain. Mighty, mighty purrs for his
passing.
I am absolutely sick and speechless about this-- bless you for helping
the poor little mite have a safe crossing.

Bless you, Krista, for helping this poor little one when he needed it most.
Purrs for his crossing. Krista, you've helped so many stray babies, even
when the situation was obviously not going to have a good ending. You are
in my thoughts and purrayers.

Tears for this little one. Purrs for his gentle journey to the
Bridge, where no one will ever hurt him again.
The rest I can't answer. Too much rage and pain.
May Sekhmet do as she sees fit to whoever did this.

Purrs for the poor tabby, purrs for you.
I"m disgusted beyond words, but I know that when you get to RB yourself,
there will be a small grey tabby waiting for you there. After all, its not
hte length of time that we loved them that counts, its the depth of that
love that counts.

Purrs and hugs Krista. You did everything you could for the little guy.
Some people shouldn't be born, and whoever shot the little guy is one
of them.

Purrs aplenty offered up for this poor soul. It's at least good to know
that he experienced love and kindness before he left on his journey.

Purrs for this little fellow who died heroically, and for you and your vet
for being there to give love and help to the poor innocent one. Tonight a
child in the heavens is loving a cat and together they are finding peace.
As for the son of a bitch who did this horror, the karma will someday catch
up to him and he'll have to answer to someone with a lot more power than
can be found in a rifle.
Blessed be,

May the little one at last find a peaceful path to walk. Bless you
for seeing that his last few hours were spent in the company of
someone to hold and comfort him.
Regards and Purrs,

Candle lit. If I ever got my hands on the people that do this sort of
thing, I'd willingly go to prison for what I'd do to them. This must
have hurt you so much, hugs and purrs.

I read just a few lines, and I couldn't stand any more, sorry. I get
nightmares. I lit a candle for him.
