i have a cat that several men were torching,the cut half here tail off & were about to set her on fire,i became rathery vocal & saved her life,i didn't want another cat,but i couldn't let her stay there,so of course i tok her home,that was about 5 years ago,she still is afraid of people,& has become friends with only a few of my other cats. i love her dearlly. i name her BOBBITT because she only has half a tail. thanks for be kind to your cat....
