Mia
06/10/15 - 13/09/21
To the murderer of our beloved Mia. On Sunday September 12th 2021, when you illegally, maliciously, and unnecessarily took a dear member of our family, you broke the heart of myself, my children, and every single friend and family member of mine who heard and felt our sadness. I may not be able to say your name in this story but I know who you are. I know this because the authorities made contact about the situation and you were made aware that your .22 bullet was lodged in my Mia’s rear leg and was recovered by veterinarians. You lied to authorities and said you did no such thing. So you switched to a shotgun on Saturday September 18th 2021 when you attempted to kill yet another cat who also brought the evidence to my house, bleeding with 3 holes in his head and face, and part of his ear taken off. He will survive and you will not get him. Unfortunately, our Mia did not.
Mia was our pudgy housecat. A Snow Bengal. She did not run fast. She was not a garbage digger. She was just starting to enjoy the summer hunting mice. She did not eat her prey. She simply brought them to the door to show me her accomplishments. She was vaccinated and spayed. I made sure she was inside at night to keep her safe from predators like owls and hawks. She was not allowed outside if I knew it was going to storm or if we were going to be gone too long. She always came in to eat within a few hours of being outside hunting mice. Mia was not a threat to you or anyone else. So why? Were you afraid with the upcoming hunting season that she would scare off deer? Did you think her fur was worth something? It was not your right to shoot and kill our family member. Wisconsin Statute 951.01. You took something from our family we can never get back. We want our Mia back. She was absolutely not a threat to you or your life. Apparently, you’re such a coward you couldn’t defend yourself at the sight of her, shot her with a .22 and took her life. Brave man you are. You can continue to lie and maybe say you thought she was a feral cat but you knew she wasn’t. She was clean and she was fat. Feral cats have a very poor diet and are usually very rough looking. Maybe you just don’t possess any common sense.
I knew on the evening of September 12th that something was wrong. I called for her over and over. I’ll bet you heard me neighbor. Little did I know she was shot by you, scared for her life, taking cover in the field that separates our houses. It took her a long time to get home even though it is not that far. I imagine she passed out from the pain a few times and could only use 3 legs. Your bullet ripped through her belly, tore apart her intestines, and disintegrated her bladder before lodging in her rear leg. She was looking right at you when you pulled that trigger. That is proof found in the Xray. As absolutely heartbreaking as this is, the one thing I can find a little comfort in, is that you are a bad enough shot, that both my Mia and the stray could bring me the evidence. For Mia there was much more pain and suffering to be able to drag herself back home but thank god that she did. We have a little more closure than if she would’ve died in your yard alone and never found. I don’t need proof on camera or a confession to know you did it. I’m an investigator by nature and you just killed a part of my family.
In closure of this sad story, I am a lover of all creatures right down to frogs and snakes. What I’m not a fan of is feral humans. That’s what you are. Many other things but I’m not allowed to say those things in this story. Make sure you have a collar on if you ever step foot in my yard.

The cat version of Victor Meldrew especially at the ripe old age of 19. But my life long companion and friend. Still missed to this day. There are many years of good memories from yoghurt splattered noses to the comfort after surgery when i felt bad. He always acted like he didnt like people but he was a soft old spud!

Micky aka Rat
01/12/04 - 27/07/15
I was never a dog person but Micky fell in to my life (Giles) when I met Stephen and we (and a cat Minnie) enjoyed seven and a half happy years together. Stephen enjoyed an additional threeish before I came along. He was the most amazing, friendly, happy little dog. He always came running to the door, always protected Minnie when ever a rival cat appeared and was always there wagging his tail. Unfortunately the cancer spread too quickly and although he tried to hide it and hang on as best as he could we knew, in the end after only five weeks and while still trying to work out the treatment needed it was too late. So young at 10.5 we thought we would have 14 years with you. Rest well little puppy and know you were loved and will always be close to our hearts. I was never a dog person, but I will always be a Micky person.

Midnight
05/06/97 - 31/05/14
I had Midnight for nearly 17 years until Saturday 31 May. He was with me through bad times in my life such as when my ex-husband was being nasty, and then it was just us. I could see he was getting old and worried we might not have long left together. He went outside as he liked being outside in the summer. I went to the supermarket and got him some nice food, so called him when I got home, ready to dish it out. He usually always came running back, but there was nothing, so I walked near some grass that he liked sitting and in response to my call there was a loud wail as if in trouble. I don't know how long he had been like that but he still called me back so loud. In shock I went running to him and he was just laying there. He kept trying to stand on one leg but kept falling, so my neighbour gave me a lift to the vet who said it seemed neurological as the pupils of his eyes weren't changing to light either. The vet said putting him to sleep would be the kindest thing, and I couldn't think what to do as kept wondering if vet got it wrong. I felt a bit rushed to decide something like that for my best friend of so many years. He died peacefully in my arms with me stroking him how he likes. I still keep wondering if it was right and I feel guilty. I'm so used to him being here, I forget he isn't now and again. He was so clever. I didn't have a cat flap, but he would knock on the door when he wanted to come in. I heard a noise at the door last night and thought for a moment it was him. On the first night without him I tried a meditation in bed to talk to his soul, and the next day I woke early for a Sunday, put on BBC1 One and there was a TV talk show about life after death, so seemed like a message from him that his soul lives on.
