Years ago the police came to my door and asked if I had seen anyone suspicious on our property and/or our neighbors property. I said "No, of course not, or I would've called you. Why?" The officer told me that cows were being shot in the head right between the eyes. Long story short, the shooter moved on from shooting animals to shooting hunters. He turned out to be a serial killer whom they finally caught. I can't recall his name, this was in the late 80's but I've read too many stories of serial killers who start w/torturing and/or killing animals and then moving on to people. We may have a potential serial killer in our midst. But if I say something like that, I get laughed at. The usual response is "It's only a cat".
