Today isn't starting out well at all.

Awful sorry to see this. We just recently took in a young female cat someone threw out, pregnant and with a badly infected eye. We got her vetted and had to have the eye removed. She has recovered 100% and has become one of our favorites. Very loving and affectionate as if she knows we love her and want her a part of the family. They know. We have 11 now and they are all rescues. They really do become part of the family. When I hear somebody say "it's just a cat" or "It's just a dog" I just want to punch them in the face.
