Why my cats stay inside
Because there are brutal idiots like this running around out there
Cat set afire, found outside apartment door By GEORGE MATTAR Bucks County Courier Times A cat was set on fire Saturday, tossed against a door at a Bristol Township apartment complex and left to die. Now, there's $1,000 offered to anyone with information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Kevin Burns and his roommate, Shawna Meske, were watching television at about 11 p.m. at the Brittany Springs Apartments, Bristol-Oxford Valley Road, when they heard a bang. "We went outside to see what it was. There was a cat on fire and it was screaming,'' said Burns, who added he was horrified. He and Meske got a fire extinguisher and doused the fire. The cat was still alive, he said. "I took a blanket and wrapped the cat up so it wouldn't go into shock. I called 911 and then took it to an animal hospital,'' said Burns, who transported the critically injured cat to Animal Emergency & Critical Care Service off Cabot Boulevard in Middletown. There, Dr. Elaine Perez immediately treated the cat, according to Anne Irwin, executive director of the Bucks County Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. But 90 percent of its body was severely burned, she said, and the cat had to be put to sleep. Burns said he smelled an accelerant but that it wasn't gasoline. He said it smelled more like butane, which is commonly used in cigarette lighters. Bristol Township police Lt. John Godzieba said Officer Bill O'Keefe was called to the scene and learned the cat was thrown against the screen on the sliding glass door to the apartment where Burns and Meske live. "We checked the area but could not find anything that would lead us to a suspect. There are no suspects at this time, but the incident is under investigation,'' Godzieba said. |

I hope the cat recovers to a reasonable state eventually. I live on the 16th floor of an apartment building, so letting my pair out only can be done to the balcony, certainly they couldn't roam in the area. Larry Osborne |

I realize it's a difficult story to read, but I have to point out a line from the original post: "But 90 percent of its body was severely burned, she said, and the cat had to be put to sleep." |
