That is horrible!

So they *did* kick poor little Bastet! Iwas hoping she wasn't physically hurt

What kind of people do that to a cat? If they do get caught (unlikely, but you never know your luck) ensure that him/her/they are charged with animal cruelty on top of unlawful entry, theft etc. I'm sure your vet will attest to that (how nice of them to provide free care!) Sure, they wanted to take your things, but why hurt an innocent animal? Could it be the same thugs who broke into my boyfriend's sister's place? Could be! I don't think they were caught either and it seems rather unusual as many people (even druggie losers) would not hurt an animal.

People like that make me so mad!!!!!!!!

Definitely keep an eye on Bastet - but take heart, Mugsy is to this day a lovely and trusting kitty and Bastet too will recover. Sending even more hugs her way!
