What a tragic ending for your sweet baby. Have you thought of posting your suggestions about A.C. in petstores and vets offices? I have a few here that a microchipped, but also are incapable of going outside. Gabriel (my angel) was born with no hind legs (stumps) and I wouldn't dream of ever letting him smell freedom again. He was one of three that I made sure disappeared from a former backyard neighbor. Stupid child was letting three kittens outside to romp, and one by one Impy & Nickki & Gabriel vanished without a trace. All are handicapped from birth (Nickki & Imp have half leg in back). Through a local program I was able to alter, vaccinate and microchip several here. Keep spreading the news about the importance of identification for pets. I'm so sorry to hear about Kuhio. I'd be furious if this happened to my beloved pet. Jan
