I don't particularly adore cats, but whoever did this is about as low a form of life as there is. Take it to a shelter or just turn it loose so it will at least have a chance to fend for itself.

Agree. I dislike cats, but that's no excuse for this kind of cruelty.

Never "turn it loose" it into the wild to fend for itself. Have it humanely put down instead. Letting a cat into the wild allows it to go "Feral". When it goes Feral it becomes a predator at the near-top of its food-chain, with a devastating effect on wild native animals. Its progeny revert to ancient, nondomesticated cat ways. After a few generations they become quite dangerous.
In NZ and Oz, Feral Cats are a major pest. They probably are, too, in North America, except you may not notice it as much, given your landmass. You may never know how many species of native wildlife you may have lost.
Adopt the kitty. Jail the so-called owner for a LONG time. Animal cruelty isn't funny, it's sick.
Thank God the cat was OK and has found a new loving home. Sickos who do something like this to a helpless animal really boil my blood.
Please do not just turn your cats loose in the wild.
We live in the country. And in the last couple of months, we have had to kill at least 4 cats that city people dropped off in the country.
(The Humane Shelter no longer will pick up the animals. So they leave it to us to put the animals down in a "humane way." Usually a .22 in the back of the head.)
One more ping.
Perhaps a good way to do it would be with about a 100 pound rock tied to his cowardly neck before we throw him into a river.
I propose that should the reject responsible ever be found he or she should have a rock slightly greater than their own body weight tied to them. Then both miscreant and rock should be thrown off the same bridge - while the cat watches.
Calicoes are very sweet cats. How could anyone do such a thing.
Happy ending ping.
Yes, there are many, many cat lovers in FReepland! ... and, you remind me of my son-in-law, who also doesn't "particularly adore cats", either. I noticed that he spent his entire Christmas visit this year ... sitting on the floor ... playing with our adorable kitten! ... LOL ... perhaps there is hope yet!
Who decided to weigh the rock? Why would they do it?
