Cat Limps Home With a 13-Inch Arrow Through His Head - Video



Here is a video report on a cat that limped home with a 13-inch arrow through his head. The Vet was able to remove the arrow which had just skinned the skull and the cat is recovering. The local Humane Assoc. is offering a $500 award for an arrest of the person responsible on a charge of animal cruelty.

NOTE: Because both Independents (Sanders, Lieberman) caucus with the Democrats, it will take a net GOP Pickup of 10 Seats for the Republicans to take control of the U.S. Senate.
