Tiny kitten saved from cruel death on railroad

They did a good thing. I hope they get the kitten to a vet and then get it to someone that wants it. I know they mean well, but they probably shouldn’t be feeding the little guy so much—his stomach is probably the size of a thimble (if that) and if it’s been starved they shouldn’t overdo it.

You instinctively want to feed something that looks starved. I don’t see anything so unusual with the picture. Last year I spotted an emaciated young cat along a fence. It was way too wild to catch. I was carrying groceries and had cat food. I emptied two cans of cat food on the edge of the bank parking lot and essentially said chow down and left hoping it would come out and eat. I also left both cans filled with water beside the food. I don’t think that is so strange. What is strange is doubting why someone would try to feed it.

I fear that after I got them tied down to the tracks good I’d remember that I have to go home and wash my hair.

Ahgahd, I’m enough of a geek to get that joke!

I hope they get a judge 100 times nastier than the one Paris Hilton got.

I just lost my youngest baby kitty (10), last week to lung cancer. And to see someone do this to a poor creature just sicknens me so.

Some kids last week just came by and gave my wife another kitten....cute as the devil...I will pay the freight...."Lizzie" needs a good home.

Hey, that’s four more than I have! :-) 3.5, really, since one is a stray and hangs around. But he has a name.

If I said aloud what I’d do to those people, you’d wonder about MY sanity. I love cats. I tolerate people.

Look on the bright side. It came to a happy ending with the cats rescue. :-)

If you've named him and you feed him? LOL He's yours! I don't regret taking them all in. They are all just a delight. But we did have to build an outdoor kitty playhouse so they'd be able to enjoy the sun and fresh air and be safe. They love it! Access it thru a tunnel in the screening of the patio. It's a great little device for households with many many furry little bundles running about ... which is us.

I know the feeling (got 4 cats, myself)

The ones who tied that poor kitten to the tracks are low life scum.

Yes it did as I look at my rescue cat sitting on my deck as she will all day long knowing she isn't supposed to leave it............

**curtsy** in your direction.

“I love cats. I tolerate people.”

Same here.

I love cats. I tolerate people.

Makes perfect sense to me. I don't have any at the moment, but I know all of the neighborhood cats by name. I just took a stroll down the street- they come out for some kitty affection (unless it's too much of a strain to get up from a nap in the sunshine).

[hsalaw]

Exactly. I don’t doubt that’s what happened.

[cubreporter]

nothing mental about them. Just mean. maybe someone will tie them to a railroad track to see how they would like it. They are evil people...nothing short of evil.

There is a real need for instant justice in this world, before the liberals step in and screw everything up. I’m sure they would find some relativistic excuse for these scum.
