Carole, it's so sad that some people treat animals like dirt, but we can only do what we do, try to save them - and at the right moment, try to educate people.

We have some residents in our building who also don't have a clue. Just this afternoon I had a chat with a woman in the laundrette about her cat, who she lets sit in the window, body half way out - she lives 3 floors up, and the cat is now 12 years old. There are bicycles under, so if the cat slipped, that would be the end.

I hope the woman you mentioned is only visting someone, and no more cats will suffer because of her.

Could you report her to an animal organisation, perhaps?

((((hugs))))
