First time outside for this 1y old kitty. Got shot after 2 minutes right below the eye.
Bullet lodges 2 cm behind the eye. We now work on saving the eye. Removel of the bullet is planned tomorrow....no cat-tax picture as to graphic imho.
Friday morning update: kitty gor through the night very well. The eye is recovering...now it is time to get that bullet out...we think it is a biathlon rifle bullet, high risk for lead poisining. Thx everyone for the feels and nice pms. More updates when the bullet is out.

That poor kitty! That's fucking wrong.
IveGoneSmellBlind
Definitely a pellet from an air rifle
CreepyFreak
That is why my kitty is an inside one she is also spayed I love her so much

My cat tommy wishes him luck!
kittyfloof
This is why you keep your floofers indoors when you can't be with them and supervise them outside. Because people are evil!

I grew up in a feral cat hell. If it didn't have a collar....

Sending love and healing for the kitty. Please let us know how s/he does.

Humans are the cruelest creatures ever walked on this planet
Baeloro
It's an air rifle pellet.
Cowzinator
That is a pellet from a BB gun
DalaiLlama
This angers and saddens me. Poor kitty.
BluntCunt
What an asshole! Someone stabbed my poor cats foot and took her tags away. Luckily she was able to escape, eventually making full recovery.
biglongandgirthyusername
Not cool :(
Iknowthestrippersrealname
Shitty. That's .177 flat nosed pellet from an airpowered bb gun. "Get outta my yard, I got this from K-Mart!"
JGBowles
Good luck and lots of love for tomorrow. From me and on behalf of all imgur Kitty lovers.
JonBoy1020
I'd give that fifty points if I could
JGBowles
Oh I tried and tried.
TheGodsMustBeCrazy
*pumps shotgun* Alright, show me who did this.
BrungardtBladeAndTool
Took in a stray. Years later got an X-ray. Had 18 pellets inside her (shotgunned). Healed and made it to our door. Lived 17 years with us.

Fingers crossed your kitty keeps it eye. Best of luck.
kolfacekilla
it looks like a lead pellet from a bb gun. but maybe other bullets look like that as well.
Drywhitetoast
It's from a pellet gun.
thisisnotausernameitsadescription
Air Rifle Pellet, could be a pump one or a CO2 one but fucked up all the same
Strummer16
Bastard.
beanwoods
Stories like this make me afraid to ever let my cats roam outside. Wishing for a quick recovery!
theHatredburrito
Never let your cats outside, its unsafe for them and they kill native species.
beanwoods
My one cat is terrified of almost anything and my other one has been an escape artist once and was hopping like a bunny before I caught him.
SomeDetroitGuy
Keep your cats inside. Healthier for everyone.
beanwoods
They are strictly inside. We tried leash and harness one time and never again.
liamossher
Why bad people shot cat what the fuck
CheeseIsNaturesFudge
This may look like an X-ray but it's actually a cat scan.
fakepointgenerator
Did you know they don't allow dogs to be x-rayed, but cats can.

Ootandabootehh
This is why you keep your kitties inside!!! :(
SociopathicOtter
This is also why you don’t give kids bb or air soft guns and why you teach them right from fucking wrong. That kid needs choke slammed.
Boopbeepbeep
That’s assuming it was a kid.
Mendeleyev1
And that's coming from a sociopathic otter.
TungstenOrbital
Shoot him in the face and see if he likes it
TheMossWillInheritTheEarth
They can go outside. Just fully supervised and/or on a harness. Regardless, shitty people are shitty and shouldn't be allowed weapons :(
sweetmotherteresaonthehoodofamercedesbenz
+1 My friends always have a good chuckle hearing about me taking my cats for walks. Gotta keep my kiddos safe but enriched.
TheMossWillInheritTheEarth
The concept of a cat in a harness or on a leash is always absurd-sounding, but they can absolutely be trained to it! It's great :D
sweetmotherteresaonthehoodofamercedesbenz
It so is haha. My 16 yr old doesn't need one since she comes to her name like a dog. But she's still only allowed out with me.
ObiWanKenoobie
Not that it matters, but that's a pellet.
Thetruthmakesmesad
somebody's a terrible shot too.

Junktrunkjunkie
it matters a little bit... makes it a tad bit more likely its a bratty kid who hasn't learned better yet... rather than a bratty adult.
IamtheGinger
Kid or adult, an asshole is an asshole
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Or a future serial killer in the making who hasn't moved on to humans yet.
SomethingsShadow
Learned better yet? Kids start to learn empathy between two and three, what age are we expecting this one to be?
nigglemaster
How old is good ol' Trump?
FriendlyNeighbourhoodSatan
Whether i blame the shooter or the owner depends entirely on where the cat was at the time.
truthsmiles
This needs to be top comment.
TiredKnight
I live in the country and apparently many ppl/farms out here do that with strays to protect certain things. It's why my cats stay indoors.
FierceAndAdorable
Thank you for being a good pet parent
FierceAndAdorable
No one should let cats roam free, they destroy the song bird populations
Ringshadow
and native animal populations (see Australia)
Sentinelricce
As someone who managed to find the loudest birds - let 'em! (Disclaimer: I do not want all birds dead. But fuck those birds in particular.)
FierceAndAdorable
Birds eat the bugs. No birds results in bugs out of control. The cats eat everything that kills the bugs

boskonetwo
Fuckin' neighbor's cat killed the dove pair that came to my crepe myrtle every year. Also stinks up my bushes, so my entry reeks like cat.
BusterH
What?! That's just shitty.
AKTishness
I know what a pity, that poor poor kitty. :(
BenjimanStickyLiquid
Just.. why...
Wellthatwasweird
How I feel when people are awful to domestic animals.
getoutofmyfridge
Wtf is wrong with people
MrFnortner
There are people who think of cats like liberals think of conservatives.
Mentok
Lol wow
RedWarBlade
As free thinking individuals that deserve to have their values represented and given the opportunity to compromise and find common ground?
FancyMacNSheese
Do you personally know any "liberals"? Or are they all on t.v.? Cuz if you DO know one and you think they'd be likely to shoot somebody...
FancyMacNSheese
You dhould report it. If you don't then you should shut the hell up.
MrFnortner
Or what? You'll shoot me?
SocialMediaMakesUsLessSocial
Las Vegas had a mass shooter fire into a crowd of 500 people and you think this is the extent of our madness?
teachtolax
It's possible to feel bad for more than just one event. No where in the post or was it referenced that this was the worst thing to happen1/2
teachtolax
to anyone or anything. All it was is a poor kitten who deserves some love 2/2
SocialMediaMakesUsLessSocial
I understand. I guess I'm just saying that no act of cruelty surprises me anymore. Desensitization, and all that jazz
Punisher2000
Who ever did this belongs in jail and in hell.

Whoever let their cat roam should be held accountable.
stormegedendarklordofall
If they did let their cat roam, I feel both parties are to blame here
Patharoth
My cat is an outdoor cat, keeping it inside would be torture for it. I think it depends on how you raised your cat.
Patharoth
That being said, anyone shooting a cat regardless is a c'nt. Luckily it's quite peaceful here in Denmark, almost no BBs etc.
FierceAndAdorable
Keep in mind in North America they are an invasive species that also happen to be killing machines. Letting it roam free puts it at risk too
FierceAndAdorable
The cat is the invasive that kills songbirds and other small mammsks
Patharoth
:s Everything sounds dangerous in the States ^_^ Denmark is just a spot of mud with nothing ever happening. We only recently got wolves back
FierceAndAdorable
Lol not really, we do have animals though developers are encroaching on habitat so the animals don't mind eating small pets. Owls, hawks 1/?
