This last Weds I found my kitty laying on the porch. I gave him my familiar
"meow" he replied with a plaintif MEEOW he was hurt, as I approached i
noticed a long shaft laying near him but I quickly realized that it was
coming out of his side, my kitty was shot, someone  for some reason decided
to kill him.
The latest news is that "Bandit" is alive and recoveriing, i am too.

Multiple purrs for both of you.  Was it from  a bow and arrow?  I hope
you reported it to the police.  A kid or adult dumb enough to do this
could easily kill.   MLB

Don't let the cat outside anymore.  Cats are better off being full time
indoors.

Be sure to report it to the police and Animal Services.

Yes, be sure to report it. I can't remember where I read this, but
there's supposedly a strong correlation between people who harm or kill
animals and serial killers. I'm not talking about hunters, but people
who harm dogs, cats and other typical pets. It has something to do with
a disregard for life, I think.

Hooray for Bandit! and I hope he has a full recovery,

I'm sorry about the ktty, is it possible that it was an accident? I'm sorry,
but I've been on this "see the positive in people" thing lately. but if it
was an arrow, then chances are it was on purpose, just by the nature of
huting with a bow and arrow. I hope he recovers completly!

this will take this a little bit OT, but I read a lot and the correlation
you are talking about refers to children, I think 8-13 or something like
that. But it goes along with several other statistics. the majority of
serial have: 1)exhibeted the animal torture you speak of, 2) wet the bed way
past the normal age, 3) are white males in their late twenties when they
start, and usually in their late thirties early forties when they are
caught, 4) have overbearing/abusive mothers (yes usually mothers) 5) are
extremely intelligent but did poorly in school and work at menial labor type
jobs. there are other statistics, but I can't remember them off the top of
my head.

Good news! my kitty "Bandit" has made a remarkable recovery, the Arrow
pierced him near his left shoulder and followed down and through his skin
next to his tummy. Yes, we reported this as early as we could to the local
State police and is still under investigation, needless to say "Bandit" is
not going to be allowed to play outside, this is hard on him but we dont
want to let this killer have another shot. I agree with others who have
posted this was done by someone who has no respect for life. I am so
gratefull to the Vet who took him out of danger and so skillfully repaired
his wound..

I am happy Bandit is recovering.  As long as the culprit is
at large, people should be careful too.   This "ninny" might try it
again.  Best of luck and give Bandit a pat from me.   mLB

I am so very glad to hear that your kitty is recovering. There are so many many
many reasons - including this one - for keeping kitty inside. The Cat Fanciers
Association and many other feline groups support keeping the kitten inside.
Why? No cars in the house..hopefully, no toxic substances to kill 'em, no wild
creatures to harm 'em, no crazed individuals who want to harm/kill 'em.
