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.
