http://www.kktv.com/content/news/Cat-shot-in-the-head-owner-looking-for-answers-474359023.htmlFor all intents and purposes, Jack the cat shouldn't be alive right now.
“Yeah, I think he used all nine lives on that one," Owner Lindsay Shaffer jokes. “When he was shot, it took a little chip out of his skull, left a little indent there, but it didn’t penetrate or fracture the skull, he [the veternarian] said it was basically a miracle.”
That's how Shaffer found Jack on Feb. 6 outside her house. At first, she just thought Jack had gotten into a catfight and the hole was just a bite mark. After three days went by and it wasn't healing, she took him in.
“In this area, certainly it’s the first time I’ve seen that,” Dr. Dan Muelhaupt told 11 News, referencing the bullet hole in Jack's head.
Muelhaupt went into the surgery thinking there was a tumor but ended up pulling out a bullet.
“I do not think this is a pellet. It was much larger gauge than a traditional pellet gun pellet,"
That leaves the question, who shot Jack, and what kind of person shoots a cat if it was on purpose?
"I just hope that someone is caught for this and it doesn’t happen again or something worse happens," Shaffer said. "That’s why I really want to let everyone know what’s going on because I don’t want to see an animal or child or human being - something happen to them.”
