What an awful experience for all of you! I am really glad that Bastet had the good sense to stick close by until you had come home.

I hope you are all able to relax and move on from this - it's a really horrible thing to have happen to you, and you really have my heartfelt sympathy.

In South Africa, where I am from, violent crime is rampant, but you NEVER become desensitised to it - especially when it happens "close to home", and I feel like everyone on Pet Talk is my extended family!

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to you all.
