I think there is a cultural difference between the US and UK regarding
free roaming pet cats. I get the impression from some sources that NOT
allowing one's pet cat to free roam is considered a form of abuse by
many in Britain.

I don't know where that view comes from.

This is a very long time ago, but I recall one cat we had in Hampshire
was hit by a spade thrown by some guy because the cat was in his apple
tree. The cat suffered a while, and I think we had to get her put
down.

I hope you called the police. It's not allowed to kill a cat for being in
someone else's apple tree. Boyfie does it occasionally. Up to now it
hasn't been a capital offence.

I don't remember what we did other than take Penny to the vet. I
think we talked to other neighbors and found out that this guy had a
reputation. It was an upsetting time, and this was 1955.
