In the "Cat General" forum subscriber tikeyas_mom has a thread entitled: urgent notice for Canadian cat owners
I responded to that thread. This is what I sent to tikeyas_mom:
For all of us who love cats (and all animals) I am asking cat people to reconsider allowing their beloved, treasured cats to be "outdoor" cats.
A cat faces great dangers being an "outdoor" cat and I personally believe one who has a pet must be responsible for the safety of the pet.
WARNING: This is a horrific story about three so-called human males who tortured Kensington to death in the Kensington Market area of Toronto, Canada.
I submit it in the hope that cat lovers will protect their felines by keeping them indoors where they are safe.

My fervent wish is the sickos who did this will meet a similar fate...the sooner, the better! May misery and pain be their lot in life.
