anastasia: I'm not sure if I told you about 'Shivers'. She is a tiny kitten at the local vet emerg hanging on to dear life. She was not quite 3 months old when her owners boyfriend whacked her with a 2by4. She has so much neurological damage that she just shakes now as if she has bad parkinsons. It is so sad. They took the cat away from the owner but no charges were laid. I asked why not and the reply I got was that by the time the SPCA investigates it the guy wouldnt be around to be tried in court. OUR laws need to change and these animals that hurt inocent creatures need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!!!
