Cat shot by arrow manages to make it home to Sandy family Two drain hoses mark the site where an arrow struck Pumpkin just below the neck. Katrina Newberry SANDY -- Katrina Newberry knew instantly that her daughter's cat, Pumpkin, was the orange tabby struck by an arrow by the sounds made as it ran through their cat door Sunday. "I could hear the arrow hitting against everything," said Newberry. "And then, it looked horrible." Newberry had been warned by a neighbor that a woman driving through the neighborhood earlier had spotted an orange cat running into the Newberrys' backyard in the 38800 block of Haskins Street. But a search of the yard and the nearby woods turned up nothing. When Pumpkin showed up about an hour later -- even so badly injured -- it was almost as much a relief as it was a shock. Newberry called her husband, Virgil. Together, they saw that the arrow had struck Pumpkin, a 2-year-old male, below his neck, then partially exited under his left front leg and shoulder blade. Newberry then packed Pumpkin into her car and rushed him to VCA Southeast Portland Animal Hospital, where a veterinarian was able to cut the arrow and remove it without extensive surgery. The vet then stitched up Pumpkin's wounds, inserting drains to keep fluids from building up. The cat also got some antibiotics and pain-killers, along with a stiff collar to keep him from biting or licking his wounds. "He's sleeping a lot," Newberry
