Another Mass Shooting and Two more Cats Fixed

Yesterday, I took in the Heatherdale pregnant young calico I'd caught plus a second pregnant cat, owned by a friend of the Heatherdale woman who loosely owns the calico. That woman is pregnant herself. Both woman are turning into spay neuter advocates and I just love that. While the calico recuperates, still in a trap inside my car inside the garage, with a space heater pointed her direction, people are dying in upstate New York. Another mass shooting in America.

I don't know the whys of this one. Apparently the shooter is a recently laid off male and has taken hostages. He parked his vehicle against the back exit so no one could escape, is what the news said. Sounds like this was all planned out. Sounds like somebody angry chose his last stand venue of bloodletting relentless rage.

Takes no courage to kill innocent people. Takes an audacity and extreme arrogance to play god taking everything from a stranger. I saw on FBI Files once, an interview with a killer who killed the sons and daughters, at a swimming hole, of well to do people and killed them ruthlessly.

He said he had nothing at all, nothing going for him, and the only thing he could do, to be over anybody, was to kill them and take from others. He told the cops to kill him in the same way, said society is weak that way, that they treat monsters like him too well, that he didn't have a soul or care about what he caused anybody else.

To snuff the fire from the eyes of living souls. I can't even kill animals, like some can, and they apparently enjoy it. To do so one must lack empathy.

Control freaks must play out such murderous fantasies on the whim of every angry breath. And maybe some people who feel totally without control of their lives. I just don't know and I don't want to know and I hope nobody else dies over in upstate New York today.

The calico is recovering well. I'm getting lots of calls today from people wanting their cats fixed. This time of year, the calls are more urgent because cats are breeding.

Someone in Mill City wants to adopt Sam and his clan. She's coming to meet them next week. I hope they're a match. She sounds like a nice young woman and even owns her own home. She says she made a wise career choice. When I reviewed her adoption application I saw exactly what she meant. She's making good wages at a job most people would not consider, one I would not be considered for. She's works at OSH, as a nurse's aid. If somebody wants to make decent entry level wage, really decent, and qualifies, that is one way to go. Sounds like a good home for Sam and his clan. She's coming to meet them next week sometime.
