First of all I'd prefer not to debate the fact I let my cats roam free. I just can't keep them in and I accept the consequences/benefits as they happen. The freedom of life and the risks and rewards that come with the level you choose, for your dependants and for your selves is a choice we all make and mine happens to be, as usual in the minority. There's nothing absolute to conclude or learn in such discussions/debates so I hear your accusations loud and clear. And I respect them. Also, as horribly sad this is, thank you for your empathy, for my cat, and perhaps for me but however not much judgement nor empathy needs to be over expressed here... Well... It's a free world, in here at least so whatever, bring it on. Whatever compels you.
I'm posting this just to share, get off my chest with other... I'll say people with hearts who are familiar with expressing them through pets. So should anyone else reading this may have or will experience similar i offer my own deepest condolences.
So I found him, the guy in my avatar thanks to his GPS collar. It showed this morning he'd been in one spot a mile away since last night. He never had gone so far. I rode my bike to find him cut in half on the side of the road just a few feet into someone's yard.
I've since taken him home, shown him to his brother, just so he knows, and buried him in my backyard. As much as i could bare to inspect him it appeared a clean cut, no bowels, no mess. I'd like to believe it was a skilful natural predator but speculation expressed in many similar stories from a 'cat cut in half' Google search suggest more sinister human motives.
At this point in just trying to get this out of me and move on, something I'm not usually good at, so I'd rather not care who did this and why. Whoever, however, i suppose nature is nature even if disturbingly human.
If you've any feedback feel free to share. Thank you and sorry, wherever it may apply
