Feline Famine

I'm still in a little shock of what I saw today. So, I went to Target to go buy my dad his birthday present (a nice fuzzy robe), and I decided to walk home, not on the bike trail. Some elderly man was following me the way there. So I am walking, walking.. I walk through the lightrail station, I go down the stairs, and I continue my way under the underpass. I am just minding my own business, thinking of what I'm going to wrap my dad's present in, and I see this cat on the sidewalk. Me, being so naive thought, "aw...the kitty's sleeping." I smile, and continue to walk..but as I got closer noticed something, flies swarming around the feline's head. My eyes grew wide, my mouth dropped. The poor, little kitty's ear and face as partially ripped off, and it probably suffered from a slow death. I mean, I have seen dead skunks and raccoons on the road before, but the first thought was that the cat was Cairo. It was so disturbing, I am still kind of in shock. Yes, my cat may hate me, but to think something like that would happen to her, and I would see it, I would be so sad. But, I took this situation into my own hands and I called animal control. They were very patient and polite as I tried to give them directions where this poor little cat was.
