Maybe it was nine lives, but one feline is lucky to be alive after he was found with his paws glued to a Minnesota interstate, KSFY.com reported.

A couple saw the cat on the side of the road and thought it had been injured by a car, the KSFY.com reported. But the cat was stuck, though its paw pads were ripped off by the glue when the couple removed him from the road, the site reported.....

These people are nuts. Do they take turns annoying their own side?

Then you are welcome to find a thread on abortion and take your limited outrage there.

They found this diary with the cat:

Day 182

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT’S DIARY

DAY 183

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

DAY 184

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair ... must try this on their bed.

DAY 185

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was ... Hmmm. Not working according to plan.

DAY 186

I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called “shampoo.” What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 187

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call “beer”. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of “allergies.” Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 188

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.
But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

ALthough I think this kind of thing should not be done, only a PETA member would suggest that doing this to an animal is the same as doing it to a human and therefore should result in such a punishment.

Should I be eaten because I eat other animals?

Do you torture them for pleasure before you eat them?

Foster family? Its a cat for crying out loud.

Simmer down. "Foster family" is a term that many local SPCAs use for volunteers who assist in the rehabilitation and adoption process by keeping pets in their homes. It's not a case of resources being taken away from kids, or anything.

I will not get too uptight about animal cruelty issues until abortion is given the same outrage by the lefty press as these kind of stories.

I guess you were out sick the day they taught that two wrongs don't make a right.

And it has been well-documented that many serial killers got their start with the torture, killing and mutilation of animals (particularly cats for some reason), before they “advanced” to more serious things.

I don't personally care for cats, but I abhore anyone being cruel to one.

On the other hand, the people of Minnesota and Acorn operatives have glued polecat Al Franken, the unfunny commedian into the U.S. Senate. That is cruel to the people of the United States!

Nah, I am just acutely aware that this crap and the Michael Vick stuff if pushed in everyone's face for a reason. The reason is because we are supposed to attribute equal rights to animals. It is a cat. We, as a nation, kill millions of animals a day in order to eat. That is what we do. We KILL animals. Lots of them. And it is ok. And so, in light of the fact that we kill millions of animals every day in order to eat, I am not going too get outraged over a little kitty cat that gets its feet glued to the pavement somewhere.
