I made a shocking discovery about my cat's past today (RANT)

[Beware the Beast Man]

I took Eleanor to the vet because she has to have her teeth pulled due to lingering periodontal disease . The vet had to take X-rays in case she had internal tumors of any kind. She was okay, but I noticed two bright spots on the X-ray photo. What the vet told me next nearly broke my heart. "These are pellets," he said through his heavily-accented English. "Whoever shot her knew what he was doing, because she has one in her spine and one near her heart, but it has not caused any paralysis. These are at least a year old, and there is no need to remove them because there is no infection present." I thought I misunderstood him the first time. I had no idea. I know little Elly Belly had a rough life before we adopted her 3 years ago, but I never knew a thing about her being shot with a BB gun.

What kind of sick asshole would shoot such a sweet little thing? She is the most loving, affectionate little kitty I have ever met. She never bites, howls or scratches. She's my little baby girl. People make me sick sometimes.


Get well, Elly Belly. I'll never let anyone hurt you again. :hug:




PS- she's staying overnight so she can have her mouth surgery tomorrow. Wish her well!
