This person speaks our language. Be warned, there are some upsetting stories but they shouldn't be brushed under the carpet.

Apparently, an ailurophobe is a someone who hates or fears cats.

That is one of lots of stories on there (A UK one - from Leigh-on-sea). The blogger isn't defending any of them - the opposite in fact.

There is one here where the kitten was saved by some boys after having its paws slashed by a combine harvester and left to die. There was a happy ending there at least  :) although Howard lost his front paws  :'(- Howard is  :Luv: http://catdefender.blogspot.com/2009/08/combine-operator-severs-howards-front.html

And the story of the brave woman who was hit by a car saving some kittens she saw being dumped on a busy road http://catdefender.blogspot.com/2009/08/georgia-woman-is-struck-and-nearly.html

I admire the way the blogger names and shames judges who only hand out wrist slaps and suspended sentences for appalling cruelty.
