At eight months old, Skeet is still barely a kitten. Who knew that this kitty would be the victim of a pellet which lodged itself in his shoulder? His older sister had the same problem a few weeks ago, but unlike Skeet, she didn’t need a cat veterinarian to remove the foreign object from her body.
Cat accidents happen all the time, but Skeet’s human, Jennie Kinch, thinks that this might not be an accident. An anonymous witness stated that he saw another cat approach Skeet and fire on him point-blank. All in the neighborhood agree that the Kinch household appears to need better personal security to prevent further problems. While Ms. Kinch has said that she plans to confine Skeet and his sister to indoor activities from here forward, this may not solve the problem.
According to Dr. Norman George, the veterinarian who treated Skeet’s injuries, he only sees a case like this once every two years.
Skeet the Cat should hire a personal bodyguard and invest in a home security system, such as one provided by Brinks Security. Security cameras placed around his home location would help spot intruders that might be coming after the cat before he is in danger. An invisible fence for cats can help keep Skeet on his home turf, and a supplementary brick wall can help keep pellets out. When he leaves his home, he should be sure to wear a bullet-proof vest which has been designed specifically for small animals such as cats and small dogs. Additionally, a tin foil hat can be made in any size to accommodate anyone in his household.
