Sexually abused cat put down
  December 12, 2007 - 3:22PM
 The owner of a cat which was sexually abused and set alight in Melbourne
says she hopes the perpetrator rots in jail.
Kate Arnol was forced to euthanase her 12-month-old white cat, Bullet, on
Saturday, after the pet was found to have serious injuries, which indicated
it had been sexually abused.
In a cruel twist, RSPCA inspector Greg Boland said the cat was adopted by Ms
Arnol from the RSPCA.
He said the incident was especially worrying because there was evidence that
those who inflicted cruelty on animals often turned their violence towards
humans.
A tearful Ms Arnol told Southern Cross Radio today she hoped the offender
was caught.
"I just hope that they do catch who has done this to him to make sure it
doesn't happen to any other animals, or if they move on to humans, I hope
they just rot in jail.
"I have no idea who would want to do anything like that to a defenceless
animal."
Ms Arnol said Bullet went missing on Friday evening and she began to get
worried when it got dark and he didn't return home.
She was eventually called by a vet who tracked the owners down through the
animal's microchip.
She said Bullet had been given strong painkillers by the vet but when she
arrived he was crying out loudly in pain.
"He was on heavy drugs, he really had no idea what was going on, he was in a
lot of pain and he was crying, like, extremely loud.
"The poor bugger was just lost, he didn't know where he was."
After discussing her pet's condition with the vet, Ms Arnol and her fiance,
who have recently moved into the Berwick area where the attack occurred,
decided to put the cat down.
Mr Boland said the attack on Bullet came two days after a pet rabbit in the
same suburb was bludgeoned to death.
He said the RSPCA was working with Victoria Police to find who was
responsible for both attacks.
"The behaviour that occurred or the injuries that were inflicted on Bullet
are just sickening, and we need to stop the person or persons involved," he
said.
Mr Boland said the person who attacked Bullet could face 12 months in prison
or a $12,000 fine because the nature of the incident was so severe.

An animal wouldn't do such a thing.  This perpetrator is a monster!

Right.  :-(  I should always get black cats, I guess, lest 
they end up in the wrong hands.

and both pudgy, Rocky who has fairly long hair and Eva with short hair who 
is Hunjo's sister.  I would actually like to have one of every color, that 
would be a lot of cats.

Hmmm.  I wonder how many colors there are, since I assume you 
are speaking of points, no points, stripes, etc.  That would 
go beyond the basic colors!

    @jjfahl: "There aren't a lot of plain colored cats so I was thinking of the 
variations, stripes, spots, points.....ah, beautiful cats.
Ellen DeGeneres had Tippi Hedren on this morning, Tippi has a sanctuary for 
big cats, there are some beautiful pictures on her site, you have to go to 
the main site <url> click on Boutique on the left, then 
down where it says Bill Dow's photos click on Photos of Shambala's Wild 
ones, then click on the big black cat, then on Shambala Animals.

Shambala is a fascinating place to visit.  I've been there a couple of 
times.  They usually have one big cat that is in the mood to be photographed 
with people.  I have a photo of myself petting David Copperfield's tiger, 
which Shambala was 'catsitting' at the time.

Barry,
I'm having troubles with IE6.   I had IE7 and couldn't access anything with 
it, so I went back to IE6.  I have no idea what is going on.  Yesterday I 
kept getting notices of a malfunction  and that the program was going to 
shut down, which it did.  Joan is a techie expert (she won't admit to it, 
but I think she is) and maybe she can shed some light on what is going on.

    @jjfahl: "Because I was happy with IE and didn't think I needed better.  But then I 
tried IE7 and liked the tabs but hated everything else like the lack of 
configurability.  So I tried Firefox and love the tabs and the plugins and 
themes.  There are times when things won't work without the IE engine but 
the IE Tab plugin takes care of that.  And I like my blue redcats theme.

    @jjfahl: "I have Adblock Plus, FoxClocks, Google Toolbar, IE Tab and Tab Mix Plus 
which allows me to put the tabs at the bottom of the window.  I have minimum 
space taken out of the window by reducing the number of toolbars.  Top one 
has menu commands, icons for back, forward, refresh, stop, home, new tab and 
history, and the address bar.  Under that is the Google toolbar, AdBlock 
Plus icon, and the FoxClocks times.  All icons are without labels.   I only 
recently discovered TMP and put the tabs on the bottom as I had decided that 
having them closer to the Windows toolbar where I switch between open 
programs would be more efficient as I frequently hit a link in mail or news 
and then go back after closing the tab.
| LOL!  I like Redcats, but I like a micro theme - at present I'm using
| LittleFox.  Before I got a 19 inch monitor, I was always looking for
