Who in the right mind would do such thing

Just stubled upon this story..how terrible. Poor kitteh. Glad it made a recover though..shows how resiliant our feline friends are! Bless...

Link here...(there's a pic too )

In case the link won't work anymore I'll paste the story below:




A tabby cat has made an amazing recovery after a thug shot him with a crossbow. Skip related content

Dave The Cat Whiskers Away From Arrow Death Enlarge photo

The 14in bolt entered Dave's neck and came out by his left elbow - missing his heart and lungs by millimetres.

A vet told them that the blunt tip of the bolt meant the cat's organs were pushed out of the way, rather than being cut.

Dave the tabby was given up for dead by its owners after it went missing for eight days.

Parents Andrew and Juliet Childerhouse's two daughters could not believe it when they saw him limping around the garden.

They all rushed the injured feline to Mill House Veterinary Surgery in King's Lynn and the arrow was safely removed.

Dave is now on the mend, but the family are still upset that somebody was willing to attack their cat so viciously.

That cat is the spitting image of my cat! My hubby was almost phoning the BBC, because their article had much less information on it. Our cat is missing too.
