The Biggest Predators are Human

Last night I had just sat down when I noticed that my mobile phone had
multiple messages waiting for me to read. I picked it up & opened the
messages that I could see were from a friend who had one of Belle's
kittens out of her summer litter last year ,& started to read them in
the order in which they arrived. As I started to read them, I could
feel my blood almost congealing in my arteries.....

The message read, " Jack has gone missing. The last time we saw him
was on Friday evening at 6 pm.. Do you think he will come back"......

The second message read, "still nothing".....

The third one read, "He's gone.. I can't believe or accept it".....

Even though it was 11.20pm, I called her because I knew she wouldn't
be able to sleep whilst he was still missing. She picked up
immediately & I asked what had happened:
On Friday evening, she was just seeing her son off as he went to stay
with his grand parents, & he was on the wall of the front garden. He
didn't come in as usual at around 8pm, so she started to call and look
for him. She searched the garden, the neighbors garden, the near
vicinity to the house, all the garages, & then got into the car and
started to search the village for him. She drove around for 3 hours
just calling him whilst her partner remained @ home in the slim chance
that he showed up there.....

Overnight they left the back door open and also the patio door too in
the hope that he just got caught up in cat company or locked into
someones shed or suchlike.. Nothing!
He hasn't been seen since....

By yesterday morning, they went searching in day light & posted fliers
through the entire estates doors in the hope that possibly someone
else had seen him. They put a notice in the news agents window, where
she noticed that she wasn't the only cat owner to have lost her
cat;there were 3 other missing cats in there too. The next stop was
the vet surgery, where she also noticed that there were **Many Other
cats missing** as well. There 12 cats in total missing in total if you
added all the cats together... ..;o( ALL of these cats went missing in
between Thursday night & Friday night, so things do not look very
hopeful at all.....

Not all of them are pedigree cats;there are 4 pedigree's & the other 8
are just normal everyday cats. Jack is a blue point Ragdoll, there
were 2 Persian cats and a birman also. The vet encouraged her to ring
the police, & I told her to try the shelters, the council (they pick
dead cats up here, that have either been run over, or found dead), &
all of the obvious charities such as the RSPCA, Cat Protection The
Ragdoll Rescue line. Not a single one of them have any news to impart.
Things are looking very grim here & I don't hold out much hope for her
either. It is so tragic too...

She loved that cat silly as we did. He was just under a year old ,
neutered & chipped.. but that doesn't mean a figs difference when
someone picks up your cat & simply clears off with it. I hate to think
who has taken him or what might have happened to him either.

Cyber, you had a very good point when you said that there are unseen
dangers. You never think of the biggest predator of all, THE HUMAN
BEING.

I am devastated for her & feel sick when I think of what might have
happened to him. Yet another reason to consider keeping your cats safe
indoors.!! The biggest shame is that he wasn't allowed out of the
garden normally. she only took her eye off him, & this is the
result..it's sickening;o(

Again, I sit here sobbing over a cat I don't know. Please keep us posted.

It makes me wonder if there are any research facilities or medical
schools in the vicinity. I hope she reported this to the police.

That is a tragedy! People who find friendly cats will take them for
themselves! I suspect that they could not raise one themselve! Dogs
are a big problem!

Actually and outdoor enclosed cage has worked for me! Think I have
worked out all the breach possiblilities! Except a tree falling down
maybe!:

case of him being locked in someone's shed over the weekend and them

Since there were *12* cats missing, I seriously doubt they were stolen to
be pets...

Sheelagh, my heart goes out to you and her family. It sounds like
perhaps people in England need to reconsider letting their cats
outside...

My neighbors 'found' a kitten about 6 months ago. He was clearly
someone's pet, but had no collar. They brought him over here because he
looks a lot like Levi and is also about the same age. They decided to
keep him, even though I strongly suggested they have him scanned for a
chip (I even offered to take him). They declined and kept him inside and
didn't try to find his owners. I was annoyed, because I figure he was
someone's much loved pet, but on the other hand, whoever had him didn't
keep an eye on him so I figure they couldn't have been the greatest
owners. The neighbors who kept him said they were keeping him indoors,
and naturally I was happy to hear that. We live on a residential street,
but it's a cut-through street and people speed like crazy. There are
also tons of loose dogs around here.

Yesterday I saw their kitten playing in the front yard. *RAGE*

Sorry to go off track, but the bottom line is that cats are at risk out
doors, no matter where you live. And it sucks, but it's a reality that
needs to be accepted.

Thanks to all of you. I have passed on your messages of sympathy to
her.
Actually, I have only just walked in. I am afraid we have found out
what happened to him & the story only gets worse...

I was sitting here twiddling my thumb's so I figured I would go & see
her (Michelle).
Upon my arrival the police arrived too. Michelle's partner, Ivan was
out in the garden some 40 minutes earlier, when he heard a Ping,
closely followed by another, so close to him that he felt the air
whistle past him. He knew immediately what it was..an Air Rifle!!

He ran straight indoors and rang the police, because at the time, his
son was in the garden with him. How dangerous could the situation have
been. I was there when the police came in to take a statement & it
turns out that 6 of the cat's owners live in a very close proximity to
them. The information/statement was enough to warrant them going to
the house where Ivan thought the pellets came from to investigate the
facts and establish as much as they could under the circumstances.
(Given that two people were shot at, one of which was an 18 month old
little boy..mind numbing isn't it?)

They were not invited in to the property & no statement was offered so
they had to go back to the station to obtain a warrant to search the
premises, which happens to be right next to a building site. They got
their warrant went back to the house 30 Min's later with permission
to search the property & the power to arrest anyone that they thought
might have information to offer. ....

It didn't take very long to establish the facts. One of the youths
that lived there was found on the building site to the side of the
house, directly behind Michelle's house with a spade trying to bury 3
cats, one of which was baby Jack. Ivan went to identify poor little
Jack & 3 youths have been arrested & are presently being interviewed
by the police.....

To say that we are all devastated is a massive understatement. It
seems almost impossible to conceive or believe that this has happened
so soon after Ringo was shot just a few short miles down the road. I
am filled with a rage that is even worse than I felt when that
happened. I have no idea why it feels worse, but it does(
I am feeling outraged, angry flooded with sorrow & utter sympathy for
Michelle who I *know* loved him dearly. She was always sending me
photos of him via mobile phone & I was receiving messages on a weekly
basis for the whole of the last year to let me know what he was up to
& how he was doing too. She is *Gutted*...

I am simply too angry to even go near the place right now. I need to
calm down first. I feel for Michelle though because she has to live
there in the knowledge that this was done by someone that she used to
call a neighbor..some neighbor!!

I have no idea what will happen in this case because it was a
different weapon, a child was shot at & the police caught them trying
to conceal/dispose several cats @ the same time. I will keep you all
informed though, rest assured on that one!!

RIP our beloved Jack. 19.7.06 - 20-4.07

Here are a few photos of Jack the week he left us and went to live
with his new mummy @ 12 weeks old...He will be greatly missed by us
all
