No pun intended with this ping.
While this is indeed unfortunate, it seems that many cat “owners” allow their cats to roam. Don’t cat “owners” have any respect for the poor songbirds that their cats tend to kill? How insensitive is that?
It’s probably best to keep those kids who go around shooting other peoples pets indoors. They might pick the wrong persons pet to kill and wind up on a milk carton.
Poor kitty! I’m glad he survived.
May the bastard who did this burn in hell.
