I am so sorry. In January 2007 my cat was let out one night and went missing. I miss her so much. Her mother and sister still go outside though. I adopted a kitten that I fostered, and she wont be going outside. I dont trust her personality. She is a little bit ditzy. When she was a week old she almost died from pneoumina, and I think the lack of oxygen killed some of her brain cells.
I think it is so sick that somebody could knowingly (sp?) hit an animal and just keep on going. It really makes me sick. I could never do that.
