I'm sorry, but I still can't find anything funny about a creature who might yet be paralyzed from the experience. Let me explain: We live in the country, and people dump their unwanted animals out here quite often. All too frequently, they've also been abused--they show up with broken jaws from being kicked, sometimes the cats have broken tails--in two places, showing they have been swung by their tails, and sometimes their fur will have burn marks. This in addition to the things that can happen to domesticated animals when they're suddenly dumped in the wild.
We've taken in three such cats; our neighbors take some of the dogs. We try to find homes for those we can't take, and we've put some to sleep who can't be saved (out of our own pocket).
So, no, it's not funny. I've seen enough of it, thank you.
You don't know that the cat in this story was an unwanted one. And the vet said that once the cat "thawed out" it would probably regain use of its legs. I think you need to lighten up.
I admire you for your kindness to animals. I have taken in strays as well. I despise the people who abuse animals. I am glad that laws have been passed that will hold them accountable so that they will be punished if caught. Boy, would I like to punish them. I know just what I would like to do to them, too..........
