My poor Ripley suffered something very similar 10 years ago. He was shot in the leg with and arrow and the tip was still inside his leg near his knee. The arrow had entered at the top of his leg near his hip and went down to his knee. The vet discovered the tip when he operated to clean out the wound. We have no idea who did it, why or who pulled the arrow out. He was missing for two days and some how managed to climb over our 5 foot fence and up the deck to get back to us. Poor little guy was so weak he could hardly stand let alone walk.

Needless to say that was the last time Ripley ever went outside and we made a new law that no cat of ours would ever go outside.

I still get mad when I think about it.
