Fred is a siamese mix kitty. I live in a rural area and he was always an indoor/outdoor cat, coming and going as he chose. Fred was shot on January 30 at close range by some unknown person. The ammunition was buckshot or birdshot. It shattered his arm and shoulder like confetti. he came home dragging his leg and clearly in pain, but didn't even whimper while he was examined. He had surgery to amputate his left front arm on February 2. He's moving around and talking to me more and more lately. I put a dog sweater on Fred cause his fur is still shaved over the stitches area and he's cold. He doesn't mind it. He's begging for more breakfast here (just finished his - see plate on floor) and when I tell him no, wanders off to look out the back porch. No more outside for you Freddie, one gunshot is plenty.
