I am continually amazed by the depth and breadth of the stupidity out there. When people rant against hunting, it hurts me deeply because there is a measure of truth in what they say about some hunters/shooters. To those people, I always promise to be intolerant of the cruel hunters, the slob hunters, and those that just don't have the ethics it takes.

I hope one of our fellow hunters confronts the person that did this and then turns them in.

I hear ya JW,
What they did ain't right.
Also, they call it a stray, but around here many folks let their cats out to run about, so who's to say?
When I had cats, they went out when they wanted to.
The Heck of it is, this is RIGHT by my house!
Looks like a Crossbow Bolt to me.
Unfortunately there are a quite a few ne'er-do-well types that frequent this area.
This does not suprise me in the least.
I do keep my eye out for what shouldn't be.

Doesn't look like a "hunter" did that to me, he would have used a broadhead and nobody would have known it. The jerk that did this should have his a## kicked down Mainstreet by everybody that lived in that neighborhood.

I agree it aint hunt'n just plain stupidity >:( no respect.
-
i have a few ideas of what to do to whoever did that, and lets just say they involve a piece of yew and some LARGE bodkins >:D
that was just cruel

After watching Animal cops Dallas, Huston and Philadelphia, I know folks are prosecuted for animal creulty - get some prints off of that bolt and stick the guy in the slammer. There are a few other things that could be done.... >:D

I hate to see any animal suffer.He should have used a .22 hollow point. I know I'll get flamed but sometimes people just get fed up with having to put up with other peoples animals.I know I do.
My neighbors dogs pee on my tires and crap all over my yard.Their the kind of people that would just get mad if you said anything to them and try to avenge themselves on you for having the nerve to ask them to keep their animals on their own property.
Many times I've been tempted to put a dog down but I feel sorry for the poor dumb animal that is only doing what dogs do.If the $%#@&& owners would just be responsible for their animals this kind of thing wouldn't ever happen.

Yes Sir,
I figure someone has to know who did it.
It seems that the type of person that would have made this shot can't help but brag about it to someone.
Hopefully this Odd Individual will get his or her tail feathers salted for it.
I'm not against taking a rogue animal down if the situation merits it.
At the same time, like many folks here, I Hate to see anything suffer.
A Quick, Clean kill, is what I strive for.
Whether hunting deer and hogs, or removing a threat to family and livestock.

Watching really ticked me off, anything I was gonna say here has already been said.

I dont know about Texas but in North Carolina, animal cruelty is now a Felony. Somthing to think about.

I just read another story about some kids that put a strong fire cracker in a dogs mouth and held it shut. It blew the upper part of the dogs mouth completely off. It happend in bosnia but it still plucks a nerve. Here is the link to it. http://www.care2.com/causes/vucko-the-dog-face-blown-off-with-firecracker.html

Pain inflicted upon animals or people for the joy of it is evil to the core and extends beynd the roots of humanity.

What really upset me was the word 'hunter',,We know what a hunter is,,and this does not even come close to a hunter,,,,,,,,,,

I hear ya Rick...
That is the unfortunate result of having an Idiot on both sides of the story.
One with the Crossbow, and one with the Microphone...
And the Cat and the Hunting Community at large, took the hit.

Post the arrow and someone might know about it. Color, type, brand, nock type all tell a story that we could help with.

Here is the best photo I could find on short notice.
The Video claimed the shaft was eighteen inches in length.

So the poundage is light or the yardage is great. If the yardage was great they would have not hit center mass fired from a bow or crossbow. No feathers no notch. So my guess is it was fired at 10 yards from a crossbow of very low poundage. maybe a kids crossbow or large pistol type crossbow. What are your theories?

My theory is that cats are cold blooded lizards with fur, they use us but they really don't like us. I feel the same toward them. Mostly.
My other theory is that whoever shot this cat should steer well clear of me.
In the video that I posted the cat is amazingly calm, sweet tempered, and seems to really be enjoying the attention from the lovely blond vet. As would I. Seems to me that orange tom cats are some of the most personable cats out there. Some act more like a golden retriever than a cat. The x-rays were amazing, absolutely fascinating.

I hear ya JW.
I'm thinking a Good Ole Fashioned Donkey (the Biblical Donkey) Whoopin!
That is what the lad or lass that did this needs.
As to your thoughts iowabow, that's pretty much what I was thinking.
Crossbow, low draw weight, close range, possibly a CB Pistol.
Either a mostly Innocent youngster taking the cat as a target of opportunity not realizing the damage the shot would inflict on the animal if the bolt connected.
Or a teen with ill intent, shooting a friendly neighborhood cat to inflict pain and death.

Parents, watch your kids for this behavior. Virtually all serial child molesters and serial killers began with animal torture. Kids that do this really don't grow out of it as much as they graduate to preying on children and women.
