Allie,
I'm so pleased your cat is safe & even more happy she wasn't used as a target like the A-holes around here do to our neighborhood cats.
The stupid parents here, have no concerns when they buy BB, pellet, & airsoft rifles & pistols for their untutored ignorant, unsupervised, mean spirited (spawn) children, who in turn, love to torture & terrorize any living thing within their vile little sights.
Too many times I've seen & caught evil ignorant (Male) adults, behind our house, trying to lure my (& other) cats close enough to grab them, stuff them in a bag, & use them as "Pitbull" training devices!
One night I caught one of those SOB's, who had chased a cat up the pole behind my house with his pitbull.
I eventually had to draw my weapon on him to get him to leave.
My calling the police on my cell didn't deter him, because he know's the cops wouldn't show up for at least an hour or 4.
I hate the city, & this is a very sick world we live in.
Thank the Goddess for my Cats (& the many other good loving creatures) !
Blessed be!
