Behold, BOLLY
Bolly is a magnificent climber, so I shot his pic here, against a dramatic, cloudy, Oklahoma City sky. When we found him, he was so tiny, he fit in my husband's hand, and his tail was in bad shape. Gangrene had set in. It was shortly after the first of the year, and some IDIOTS had apparently taped a firecracker to his tail and set it off. We rescued him on the side of a dark, country road in North Texas. We took him to our vet the next day, and his tiny tail was amputated immediately.
He has been exceedingly grateful ever since. And so have we been. Bolly is absolutely the best cat in the world. He is affectionate and playful to a fault!

I give you BOLLY, for the "Shoot Your Pet" category!

Hopefully in the end, whoever did that to this beautiful cat will have their balls blown off with a firecracker - shame on mankind
