That so sad.

Is it a true story? Because the writer should feel ashamed of themselves for not doing anything about the cat sooner!

That was my first thought, too to be honest.  But then I thought again, probably the writer is now full of remorse and heart broken for not having come to his rescue before too late, I am sure this tragedy has opened her eyes.  And now she is risking all this criticism pointed at her in order to spread his story in the hopes of opening a few other eyes and of a few other Uglies to be saved.  And lets hope her effort will not be in vain.

I'm not going to read it now, as I'm at work and can imagine that it will be the sort of thing I don't want to read at work, I will read later though. If its anything like the free to good home one then I'll be in floods.

Although Im sure these sorts of things do happen every day  :(

If ever a cat like that came around my way it would be straight inside.

That is a real tear-jerker.  I sometimes think what a rotten world we live in -  - - then I think of all the people on this Forum  who help cats  like that .....   :)

Sorry if you have already read this story, but those who hasn't... get the tissues ready.  So profoundly sad but touching story.
