I really needed this one today. One of my cats, Leo, is at the vet right now for a badly needed dental cleaning and tooth extraction. Dropped him off early this AM and they called about an hour ago with an update. He needs 6 teeth pulled (!) and they found old BBs in his back leg and foot. They found the BBs while putting the IV in his hind leg. WTH is wrong with some people?! I was so angry and horrified to hear it, I cried while on the phone with the vet. Watching this video again helped me calm down, so thank you.
Leo was a stray who came out of the woods one day, covered mats and ticks, and he never left. We didn't want him to; he's the loviest, sweetest little dude I've ever met. My heart hurts so much to think of the neglect and abuse he obviously suffered before showing up on our doorstep. He was in rough shape, but I had no idea it was that bad. It also explains why he is so very needy for love and attention and gentle pets. I will never tease him again about being clingy. He is in for some extra major, over the top spoiling and treats when he gets home tomorrow.
