Meet Purrsia. She's the dead tortoiseshell cat. Now meet Spot.
Spot's the white dog with claw marks between his eyes. Spot killed Purrsia.

Why? I don't know. But I'm angry. I'm angry that three cats have died here at the teeth of foster dogs. I'm angry that I bring dogs here to threaten and kill my cats, my companions, my babies. I'm angry that I now have to get Spot out of here, one way or another. I love him; can hardly stomach looking at him. I feel like I've entered into an abusive relationship with him and others. I'm angry that I work so hard for chained dogs, that I bring them here, give them a better life, and they repay me with this. Death, sadness, torture, pain.

I know logically that he wasn't trying to hurt ME, but still I feel the pain and betrayal. He may even think it's his job to rid the property of cats, intruders. He may think he's doing it FOR me. He had to have been abused on the end of his chain by adolescent boys. He went after Rayne the first time he saw him. Rayne is a very calm young man, who is very good to the dogs, and he was upset that Spot hated him. I tried to explain to him that Spot was just terrified because he'd obviously been hit and probably worse by young kids.

That touches me and saddens me. Victims become abusers, nothing more than a product of this world we live within.

Purrsia came to me with Momma kitty and four siblings, who were born in the shed of a woman who said she could not have cats at her house because her dogs would kill them. Ironic. It was my job to protect Purrsia, I failed. Now what do I do with the abuser?"

Rescue is hard, with many moments of anguish. I don't wish this pain on anyone.
