Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004Cat Shot New Year's Eve
My mum told me tonight that someone shot my grandma's cat on New Year's Eve :( It was shot in the leg and came home bleeding and with it's leg all torn up. My grandma took it to the vet and they cleaned up his leg and bandaged it. They are waiting to see how well it heals before making a decision about whether it will need to be amputated. My grandma takes Corky back Monday for a checkup. Hopefully everything will be ok. It's disgusting how sick some people can be :( Nikki >My mum told me tonight that someone shot my grandma's cat on New Year's Eve >:( It was shot in the leg and came home bleeding and with it's leg all torn [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Nikki Oh, golly, Nikki, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma's cat. I hope he recovers completely.

I tottally agree, some people are plain brainless and heartless and I wish there was some kind of law introduced to not only appropriately panish those kind of people, but also nueter them ! If there was a decent law outthere to protect animals, many people would think twice of doing something like this to an innocent little cat. I do hope leg can be saved. But even if it cannot, cats ae excellent at adopting on life with 3 legs, so let that not worry you. He is very lucky to be alive, and hopefully will not go near the person who has done this. Will your grandma take this further in some way? Report it to the RSPCA or police? Gee >I do hope leg can be saved.

I had a cat a few years ago that had three legs, he got around just fine. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. > Will your grandma take this further in some way?

And also remember that some idiots go out on NY''s Eve and shoot bullets up into the sky!!! Like they're not going to come down! Maybe kitty got hit by a bullet returning earth-ward. A Friend who's a policeman in LA said that almost to a man, every officer in Los Angeles, about 10 minutes until midnight, finds a parking structure with a basement, preferably, and drives down into it until about 15 minutes after midnight. You wouldn't believe how many fools in LA do this [shoot guns skyward] every single year. The publicity campaign starts well before NY's, warning against the practice, but . . . . !

My grandma lives in a fairly quiet neighborhood away from any woods or forests, so I don't know see it being a hunter. Also, the cat was shot in the leg and I think if it had been a bullet shot up in the sky and come back down it would have been more likely to hit his back. I think that some idiot probably thought Corky was a stray because he only has one eye. So he decided to shoot him :( > And also remember that some idiots go out on NY''s Eve and shoot > bullets up into the sky!!! Like they're not going to come down!

So he decided to shoot him :( Are in you in hunting country? If so than I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility. You say your grandmother lives "in a fairly quiet naighhood" maybe an ideal place to find whatever they are hunting. There are some states where unless youi live in a big city you're in hunting country. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address.

Well, the vet appointment was changed from Monday to today (Wed.) so I haven't had a chance to ask my grandma how it went. My mum talked to grandma on the weekend, and grandma said that Corky was being playful and mischievous....dragging grandmas extra table cloth off the table and climbing the curtains, so I think he'll be ok :) I'll update after I find out how the vet visit went.
