#1 reason kitties should NEVER be outdoors

[malkin]

zoom, you did the right thing; sorry it was so awful.

[zoom-zoom]

Thanks, ladies...it's been a tearful day. I still keep crying. I wonder if her people will be sad when she doesn't return home. I wonder if they've even noticed her missing.

I'm so sorry, Zoom. Poor kitty. As others have said, you did all that you could and a lot more than others might have done.

I'm so sorry, Zoom. Take comfort in the fact that you found her (as opposed to her starving to death or worse in that position), with you DH were able to free her, and that they were able to put her down humanely. You did all you could. And yes, some humans suck. Have you thought about putting up posters so her owners (if she had any) might know?

(mom to 3 rescue kitties who she is completely neurotic about keeping in the house)

Oh, poor kitty. Thank you for doing what you could.

You did a good thing. She could easily have had a stroke or seizure from the pressure on her neck in that position. I agree with Blueberry, you are great for freeing her from that position instead of her starving there.

(however, I do not agree with your people who let cats outside suck comment; nuff said)

[pumpkinpony]

wow that would be stressful. I'm glad you took the time to track down her cries for help, and take her in not just let her run off again.

[Koronin]

Poor kitty. You did what you could for her. I do believe she knew you were trying to help her.

I'm actually planning to do exactly that with the help of my son, once we know the results of the rabies test. I'm not going to put any contact info., just the photo and the backstory. Hopefully her people will see it and feel like a-holes (though probably not) and maybe it will serve as education for others.
