Someone shot my cat this afternoon. Not with a BB gun, but with a 22, right in my own yard. They blew his eye right out of his head. My wife called me at work in hysterics talking about a bloody trail leading from our front yard to under our porch. We had to rip the steps off of the porch to get him out and he's covered in blood with his left eye dangling outside his head. The vet called a while ago, and he's going to live, but what is left of the eye will have to go. They thought he might have been hit by a car so they took x-rays before sugury and that's when they found the bullet sitting in the back of his eye socket.
What the hell do I tell my kids? He lost his eye when some son of a bitch decided to have some fun and shot him? I'm afraid to let my kids go outside to play now. A half dozen of the houses on our street have little kids, and now there's some jackass who's Friday afternoon fun is taking potshots at pets in people's yards? What kind of sick bastard would do this?
Your thoughts?
