53. My thought, too. An act against the owner, not the owner against the cat...

...though it's hard to be sure. Some asshole owners have a cat that gets on their nerves and seek retribution. But as you said, the cat is well fed and has been to a vet. Hard to believe an owner who would care for a kitty like that would try to kill it so cruelly rather than just taking it to the pound or abandoning it if they wanted to be rid of it. Probably someone trying to hurt the owner. Evil person!

I hope they catch whoever did this, lock them in a box with rocks and toss it into the ocean!
