Mr Scratchy is an Angel Now

[catmandu]

I havent seen the Big Fellow for over a week,and he was a fixture on the Porch,for a long time.
By the time I could pet him,he was already a mature Male,and would not have adapted well to an Indoor Life.
I found out through a neighbor,that some punk kids ran him down,as he was trying to get to safety on a drive way.
Thats a sad ending for a Good Cat.

My last Scratchy Photo.
He kept Scratchy 2 alive last year,and now I am guilty that I didnt take the Big Fellow in.
I hope that we are reunited,and Scratchy forgives me,One Fine Day.

Oh Gary, I'm so very sorry!!! Don't blame yourself, you were always there for Scratchy .... he is resting peacefully now, and those PUNKS will get way they deserve!

Oh, Gary - I am so sorry!

Try to not blame yourself - you have made that decision with other porch cats, and they were ok.

Any idea who the punks were? I would call the Humane on them, that's for sure. The laws might be pretty poor - but they are there.

HUGS to you, and I am sure Scratchy loves you for all you did for him.

Otherwise, he would have been a lonely Angel long ago.

Bless you!

I'm so sorry that your handsome Scratchy was killed in such a horrible way Gary. Many years ago when I was driving up the hill to my house, I noticed a cat getting ready to cross the street from the right side to the left. I stopped so she could cross and I wouldn't hit her, and some punks came swerving around the left of my car and aimed straight at the cat trying to kill her! I at them with my car (a reaction of sheer anger) hoping to make them drive into a telephone pole! And took down their license plate # but then thought better of reporting them. They would probably have doubled their efforts to kill the next cat they saw. RIP sweet looking Scratchy boy.

This is sad news Gary.. I know how you love them all, even the ones on the streets. Yes, you gave him a safe place to go for a good meal and by the looks of his last picture, you fed him well. Another Fur Angle to watch over you and your other street kitties. RIP sweet Scratchy, your passing did not go un-noticed and you will be missed.

Gary, I am sorry to hear of Scratchy. He went horribly, but, he knew you loved him, that is clear. There is no need to forgive. You do what you do, and sometimes, that isn't enough. RIP, sweet kitty, RIP. Hugs to you, Gary.

Gary!! I am so sorry to read about Mr. Scratchy. He knew love and good meals because of your kindness. I am quite sure he has been out with the Traveling Angels, and Spunky, Spunkier, and the others have taken Mr. Scratchy under their wings and shown him the best buffets in town!!!

RB does not have punk bad boys. They are not welcome there.

I swear, on the sacred memory of Scratchy, if ever the opportunity arises for me where I can cleanly get away with running down such punk scum , I will do it with great pleasure because I'd be avenging the death of not only Scratchy, but also of many, many animals both domestic and wild who are run down by uncaring people. My hope for darling Scratchy is that death was instant.

My view is: so-called humans who harm or kill children, the aged, the infirm or any animal [self-defense acceptable] are below the bar of "human" and deserve no mercy.

Mr. Scratchy I'm sure my darlings at RB welcomed you with open paws and wings.

My condolences to you, Gary -- a true manly man, my kind of man -- one who cares for kitties. QueenScoopalot signs off with: ~*~ "None left to rescue, none left to buy, none left to suffer, none left to die. None to be beaten, none to be kicked...all must be loved and all must be fixed". Author Unknown ~*~ -- the author must have been inspired by a man like Gary. QueenScoopalot's reaction re sickos gunning for an animal crossing the street is very much like mine.

Oh Gary, I am so sorry to hear this The other ones are right, there was nothing more you could do, and you are already doing a lot for many kitties. You are not responsible for the others' stupidity. These ones will never meet your marvellous angels when it will be their turn.

Gary, I am so sorry about scratchy, thanks to you he did not suffer a hungry belly while he was here.

As far as the punks I better not say what I think about them right now.
