How could anybody do that. I have a stray that comes to visit for his dinner everyday and he is so lovable, just to see the look in his eyes when he is not hungry anymore would melt even the heardest of hearts. There is one sick minded individual out there that needs to be caught.

Well, there are some strange and unprincipled people about. There's only a certain list of suspects, near neighbours, and how many have an air rifle? Also, that location is near a field or two, so if people have gone rabbit shooting, they may well have expanded their aim to cats - but if so, someone must know who had gone shooting at that time. I'd suggest some corrective therapy, perhaps wiring their gonads to the mains every half-hour for a couple of days?

My sympathy to the owner of this poor little **** cat. I know how distressing and upsetting it is to have to go through losing a pet, especially in such a cruel & heartless way. I just hope the perpetrator's days are numbered and that they get caught soon, to face their just rewards.
