Get outta here... AWESOME!!!

I read this in the herald yesterday, it left Katie and I laughing hysterically...yeah yeah yeah we are mean and cruel BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!

The cat came back . . . with an arrow through his back. A tomcat -- aptly named Trouble -- is on the mend after being nailed with a crossbow bolt last week.

The six-year-old cat had been missing for more than three days on Thursday afternoon when he crawled up to his owner's doorstep near Barrhead, about 100 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, pierced with a 46-centimetre crossbow shaft and barely able to move his back legs.

The cat's owners rushed Trouble to Dr. Sarah Fryer's emergency vet clinic. "We came home and he was just sitting at the door waiting for us," said the woman who owns the cat, who did not want to be identified. "At first I couldn't tell what it was, but as soon as I realized it, I was sick. It was just horrible."

Trouble was shot just below the tail with a metal-tipped bolt. The tip exited behind the animal's left shoulder blade. Its red and yellow fletching was still visible under the tail.

Remarkably, none of Trouble's organs was hit, nor was there any significant nerve damage.

"The cat was obviously in shock, but was amazingly comfortable, considering," said Fryer. "He was actually purring when we had him in here. He was obviously very glad to be among people again."

Barring infection, which Fryer says is the biggest risk to Trouble's health at this point, the cat could make a full recovery and is so far doing "extremely well."
His owners are concerned about the circumstances of the shooting.

"It seems too much of a coincidence for it to be an accident," Trouble's owner said.
"We were just horrified that anyone could be that cruel. I mean, he's a cat. His biggest offence is that he's too friendly."



HAHAHAHAHAHA too friendly, what kind of devil creature survives being shot with a cross bow through the back, and for three days! I tell you what, any other non possessed spawn of Satan would have died fo sho!!! too friendly...

Love it!! Except the evil thing lived. Who was doing the shooting anyway? That's the kind of person who gives us hunters a bad name. Any respectable hunter would have put a shot on that thing that would have been fatal in a matter of a few seconds.
