The little bronce cat on John's gravestone...

[Karen]

I am sorry to hear that. Prayers n the way that he gets returned.

This saddens & angers me too.. I am so sorry.. Yes when my father passed on I had bought & placed a Guardian Angel.. Well it lasted about one year & was stolen as well..

Randi I'm so sorry. Who could ever take something like this away from a grave???????
I agree with Phred. May the kitty scratch the thief really bad.

[Felicia's Mom]

So sorry that people can be so cruel, Randi. I will keep you in my prayers!

One has to wonder what was the motivation for the person to spend a good amount of time removing that kitty from your cat's grave site...However, it was a terrible thing to do. I have to agree with Catty1, the press needs to know what happened. Public awareness is a good thing!!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm so sorry Randi!!! Some people are just mean!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Randi, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that some one will be able to catch this thief.

[AlleyCat]

That's just awful and so sad it got stolen! I sincerely hope it was turned in at the office or that it is found somehow. Dang grave-robbers!

Oh Randi I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine how sad and upset you are.

Oh no Randi! I am very sorry to hear this. Human stupidity!

How horrible that someone would do that. What kind of person steals from graves/cemetaries?! It's disgusting.

I hope your friend can figure out something that would be permanent, even though it won't have the same sentiment.

I, too, would like to donate for it's replacement. Please let me know if and when that time comes, and I'll help in whatever way I can, or that you need.

Gosh, this just makes me so angry! I honestly don't understand people sometimes, and it's true...somebody must have been determined to put that much effort into removing a bronze that that is screwed into a gravestone! I'm so sorry that some heartless jerk desecrated such a lovely resting place. I really hope that whoever stole it gets a conscience and returns the cat to its rightful place

Please let us know if your friend had any other ideas.
**hugs**

Thank you, all!

I’m very angry about this, and also dissapointed that anyone could do such a thing.

I went to tell the office at the cemetary about it, the woman there told me that lots of old bronce chains around the old graves has been stolen too, rencently. Also from another cemetary in town. She was sympathetic and we talked for while - I suggested to send a picture of the cat, and she thought that was a good idea, so all the gardeners can see it. I talked to one of them - she was outraged!

However, I don’t think there’s a big change of getting it back, I think that the one who took it, has seen it and then come back with tools to get it off, and I don’t think it’s a child.

I have been in touch with the guy who made the stone and got the cat, he will see if he can get another one - it may take some time, as this one did. Some are not so nice. The one that got stolen was probably designed by a German, he said. I will replace it of course, but not immediately.

Today after my jobinterview, I went to the police to report it, they can’t do anything about it, they didn’t even want a picture, but he wrote a report for me to send to my insurance. They may or may not cover it.

Poor John without his cat!
