Miracle

I retrieved my stolen cat from a lab by offering a reward
... it took time for the hair missing from his cranial incision to grow

wow that is great congrats

Wow. That is amazing.

Do you have documentation to file charges?

Also, have him looked over by a vet. After all, they did brain surgery on your cat for no reason at all and you can't know for sure what they did to him.

There is a special place in hell reserved for people who do such things, I'm sure of it.

OMG! I'd be livid.

this is truly a miracle that you have your kitty back. cats are usually used for brain experiments. researchers use the cat brain to monitor brain waves with stimulation thru the visual senses. they flash a light at a cat's eyes while the cat is under anesthesia. this lasts for several days and then the cat is euthanized. it's disgusting and it has nothing to do with human functions.

OMG how horrible!!!!!!

That just scares the you-know-what out of me!!

I'm glad to hear you got your cat back. I do hope hes ok.
This is another reason to keep cats inside! Mad scientist that steal cats!

You folks have never heard of "bunchers?" These are dispicable people who comb neighborhoods looking for cats, round them up and sell them for research to different labs. Once again, an inside only cat is the safest way to protect them.

That just gives me a sick feeling. What is wrong with people?
I hope your poor kitty comes out OK!

Poor thing. Give him lots of lovin. Hopefully he'll be OK.

I am so furious and so happy for you all at the same time. Obviously I'm just ecstatic that you got your baby back - it must seem just like a miracle, like you said in the thread title, and I'm so glad he didn't wind up euthanised. I'm so sickened by what he has had to go through though... brain surgery and experiments for days? What is wrong with people?! Those people should be locked up and the key thrown away where they can rot in their own dispicable world. I have no words strong enough to express what I feel for them (Well, actually I do, but they're all four-lettered and not for polite company such as yourselves). I really hope something can be done to bring a stop to this cruelty.

I know mine are indoors but if that ever happend to mine, or i saw someone round up any cats like that i'd knock doors through windows!!

Wow thats just horrible. I am sickened. But so glad you got your baby back. How is S/He? Surely if you have proof you can get the police involved? How did you know where your cat was? (sorry if theres been another thread about this I havent seen it).
This is something else I will now add into my arguement about why people should keep their cats indoors.

Oh man, that is one lucky kitty!

That's one reason I am against letting domestic cats outside unattended.

Unfortunately, cats are prone to the same type 1 diabetes as in "juvenile diabetes" and are needed for medical research in order to cure the disease in human children.
Yes...it bites, but children's lives are being saved.

Feel good knowing that your kitty is safe, and I hope you are able to catch that nasty thief!

i think children's lives can be saved without wasting the life of a helpless animal. it has been proven that many of the animal experiments performed today are not necessary and the "experiment" can be performed without using an animal as a test subject.
