This is not a happy story.. just a warning.

As I was parking tonight, I saw a stray cat with a strange looking tail. It ran when I came close, but I got enough of a glimpse to realize that most of its tail was gone, and at least 2 inches of bone was sticking out the end.. I figured the poor thing had its tail run over by a car or something.
When I got up to my apartment, there was a letter stuck on the door from the office. It said that the animal hospital has been having a lot of cases of cats being brought in because people have been going around our city hurting cats, and to keep them indoors for safety. Suddenly seeing that poor cat without a tail made sense. Just makes me sick.
