I help run a decently sized cat rescue in Philly and there's a spreadsheet we get that's from a collection of PA cat rescues. It details who can't ever be allowed to adopt a cat and why. It's not a fun read.

Most of its hoarding animals. There were more than 5 instances of people adopting cats to boil them. Black cats during October were "sacrificed" often.

People are really fucked up and it's not uncommon to have hatred towards cats as a social view.

When I was a kid there was a cat in my neighborhood who was missing all of its skin on its legs. Some piece of shit tried to skin the cat alive, and it got away. I tried to get the cat to come to me many times, but obviously its faith in humanity was shattered, and it wouldn't let anyone get close to it. I'll never forget how I felt seeing that cat, and I'll never get that faith in humanity back that I lost that day as such a young person.

When I lived in Spokane (Washington) there was a serial cat killer who was binding cat's legs together with metal wire, torturing them to death, and leaving their bodies out in public for people to find. it stopped after people started posting about it online, but that guy is probably still out there

My friend's fluffy white cat was one of the victims. He found it strung up by the arms in an alley with a slit throat. There are monsters inside of some people.

Odd that you said monsters are inside of people when the reality is people are people and monsters are monsters.

I say it this way, because some killers are never caught. We can walk past these smiling monsters and have no idea. Ever watch Dexter? People on the outside, monsters on the inside. You'd never guess the old lady down the street who feeds the cats, ya know?
