20 Cat Deaths Leave Fl Communities Worried »

I have indoor cats and we also feed a few feral cats outside, all of them are part of our family, I can't imagine what it would be like finding one or more of them mutilated in the yard. -

I can barely read such gruesome stories, I don't know why I do except for like you smithichie, I hope they catch the sicko(s) who are doing things like this and to make people aware. I can't imagine it either, I'd be HORRIFIED! to find that in my yard. Makes me sick to my stomach.
