This is the reason why, unfortunately, my cats are house cats.   When I first got them I had every intention of them going outside - even got them jagged accordingly.  Then I kept hearing all these horror stories and every time I went into my local supermarket/vets there were posters of missing cats.  So, in the end I kept them indoors as I just couldn't live with myself if anything happened to them.

That is outrageous what is happening on that street - the poor cats are ending up in some evil person's hands and I don't even want to think about what they're doing with them.  I know in East Lothian, cats were being taken to be used as bait in dog fighting.

Those poor peole must be going out of their minds with worry.  When Smudge went missing last year I imagined all sorts was happening to him and in a way I was glad when I found him dead.

Why the hell are some people so heartless to put people through this when they take animals (or children, for that matter, even though I'm not maternal).

I pray this stops.  :'(

I've posted this up too, Sam.  Shall we merge the threads?

An animal rescue charity said Thursday it was concerned by the unexplained disappearances of dozens of cats in a town newspapers have dubbed the "Purr-muda Triangle". Skip related content

In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

I read this in today's Daily Telegraph but the same story is at http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/67440/The-Purrmuda-triangle-suburban-streets-where-up-to-50-cats-have-vanished

There's a map of the affected area for anyone living round there  :scared:
