I'm soooo sorry this happened to you!!! It was less than six months ago that we went through the same thing! The police didn't call we just came home and found the glass broke out of our door and the door knob busted off. I know the fear you felt. I almost couldn't breath with the panic of what I might find when we went inside! I have never felt so much fear for my cats in all my life!! We were lucky too that none of them were hurt. We weren't so lucky as to get any of our stuff retuned! They did catch the *&%$!@# but he had already traded our stuff for crack.
That fingerprint dust is so nasty!! It is so hard to get off!! My kitties had black paws for a while to. Of course Leroy was covered in it because he tried to help the officers!!
I'm glad that as horrible as this is to experience your kitties are ok and they didn't get out of the house with any of your stuff!!
I'm sending prayers because this will make you feel different for some time. My kitties are still afraid of any unknown noise at the back door.
ps. I hope they nail the punk to the wall!!! He is young enough now to maybe learn a lesson. I think he should have to clean your litter boxes for a year too!!!
