Shot cat.
I truly am sorry to read about a cat shot in the face (Waikato Times today).
Every other pet has to be contained on their owners property, yet cat's are allowed to be fed then let out to deposit excrement in neighbouring gardens; fight with neighbouring cats; yowl in the night; defecate in people's vegetable gardens, children's sand pits, on and on.
Is it not time those with cats had to obey the same laws of everyone else's pets?
I can only say: NO ONE loves your pet like you do. Keep it close, on your own property.
Again, I hope the cat in question recovers and is kept at home.

Poll: Are you worried about safety and crime in your neighbourhood?
An 84-year-old was left www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|feeling insecure and vulnerable in one of Hamilton’s “bad neighbourhoods” after police cut down her wire fence chasing suspected robbers|.
More than four months after the incident the woman, who mostly lives by herself, says she is “disgusted with the police” and their lack of action - especially as her section backs onto a gully often used as a thoroughfare for people up to no good.
In a strange twist, police contacted her son about the repairs only hours after being approached by the Waikato Times for comment.
