Animal cruelty deserves severe punishment. Even if you don't give an f' about animals, people like this are pretty much destined to take their issues out on people too.

The surgery will be a "risky procedure," according to Rarrat. Animal Control is accepting donations to help cover the cost of the cat's surgery.

It's a CAT. Put it to sleep. No one should abuse animals but is it really necessary to spend hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars on a cat while so many are unemployed?

This is disgusting I've killed over 40,000 animals all quick all eaten but no animal should have to go through this.

Still purring around people after someone did that? That is a very special cat. I would love to be able to adopt her and make her a part of my family after she recovers from surgery. To bad she's in another state.

There was a thread like this a couple of years ago, where a kitten that was set on fire by a teenage sociopath was given tissue grafts and survived.

Which yet again just goes to show the amazing lengths to which some people will go for a little pussy.

On one hand as a cat and dog animal lover, and as a matter of fact, I have two of each, I can only have the utmost contempt for any sick human who is cruel to animals.

But as a tickle the funny bone contention from the late and great Paul Airdos, if you were a mouse, how could you regard cats as anything but Nazi fascist pigs?

Most cats are independent contractors who work under the table. Very, very few cats pay taxes. All this skews the statistics.

While I hate to bring up nationality as an issue here, I have found the South of the Border natives generally have a really low regard for cats compared with dogs.

And the fact the nail was driven into the head with a nail gun, also points to the high probability it wandered onto a construction site with mostly immigrant workers.

I have also heard of people feeding young kittens to reptiles before, and keeping multiple female cats, and even small dog breeds, around only as breeder animals for this purpose. In fact, I suspect some neighbors across the street who have reptiles of doing this very thing. They also have about 8 small Chihuahuas, many in various states of pregnancy, too. They also just "happen" to be breeding dwarf rabbits, also most likely to feed their hungry reptiles to. But how would one prove such a thing, without catching them in the act?

This is why nobody should just "give" away free kittens and puppies on a site like Craig's List. Even if you only charge $10 or $20 bucks each, you will discourage these heartless scumbags from feeding them to their reptiles for free. And a red flag would also be someone showing up and taking ALL your litter away at one time, for some BS reason they might give you.

Just get your pets FIXED, and you won't have to worry about an unwanted litter of cute babies being used as reptile food, or to train fighting dogs with.

How the heck did it survive that injury?

It had to have gone exactly between the 2 brain hemispheres without severing any major blood vessels. Even from a surgical standpoint, for a surgeon it would have been almost impossible to reproduce that wound without certain death. A one in a 100,000 chance of success to reproduce it, I bet.

Purring is not only done when a cat is content, they also do it when they are under extreme stress.

What's scary is that if someone lacks empathy for animals and has sadistic tendencies like that, you have to wonder what they would do to people. IMHO, these scumbags pose a huge threat to other people.

Euthanize the cat and heavily fine the person that did this horrible act and at least place him on a long probation. Keep a close eye on him, sickos that do this crap to animals tend to move to people eventually.
