Working a little slow

Heya. I've made a start on my Madness Day art, but I'm concerned I could be a little late getting it finished. Something pretty awful happened in my life recently, and I'm just not feelin it right now.


A pet cat of mine has passed under extremely suspicious circumstances, and it is believed that he was hurt intentionally by a human with a blade, due to the appearance of his wound. My household is utterly shaken and we are so confused as to who did this and why. We're not even sure if that's what happened, but that's the only way that can explain the state of him. I just cannot stop thinking about him. Our camera just happened to not record how he ended up how he did. There was a gap in the footage. One second nothing was there, one second he just appeared. There are so many more things that make his death even more suspicious and concerning, but I won't go into too much depth.


What doesn't help is that this incident occurred the morning we were going on holiday. It caused a mad rush, and now we're just sitting around, feeling guilty, trying our best to enjoy. Maybe it's better than staying home, I dunno.


Sorry if all that was a bit unnecessary, I just wanted to express how weird this all is and how overwhelmed I'm feeling right now. The memories are still fresh in my head right now, so who knows - I might feel healed in a few days and be motivated to draw again.


EDIT: We didn't realise earlier, and I don't know how, but we've just been informed that his tail was chopped off... And I was just beginning to sleep easy.

I am so sorry to hear for your loss. Especially of a beloved pet. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. Please take care and do what you need to during this difficult time for you and your family, and furbabies.

Thank you for your kindness and consideration. Dunno, I think I'm getting over all the initial emotions and shock of grief, but now it's the burning desire to know what even happened that's taking over. Who, why, how, when? It's all just so confusing. Really concerned for the other three as well.

@DownBad4Men I dunno if it'd help but try ask around in your area, see if anyone else has heard or seen anything that has happened recently that seems similar ^^;
Maybe just for peace of mind. In the meantime, take care of yourself and your furbabies. Get them extra loud bells and see if there's a way to record their patterns, where they are walking around? I'd have suggested small cameras for their collars, but those are very expensive x_x

The incident is being investigated, apparently there have been some strange and clearly intentional animal deaths in the area recently, and some on Saturday, the same day it happened. We're waiting to hear from some neighbours if they've got any footage. Dunno if you saw the last little bit I added onto this news post, but it pretty much confirms that someone did this on purpose.

We know our others don't wander far, but this particular cat had a very different upbringing than the rest (we were not his first owners and he was missing from the previous ones for a bit) so had a larger desire to get outside and roam lots. He was also neutered very late as an adult, which could've made him more territorial.

Im so sorry that happened to you! I cant imagine the pain you must feel right now after losing a family member. Idk if the words that i will writte now will comfort you, but i hope they do: At least your cat is in a much better place free of the pain.

I wish you the best of luck with the searching of the horrid monster who hurt your cat. Either by your hand or karma's, they will pay for what they had done to an innocent animal.

Thank you so much for your kind words :) The police in my area have kinda given up on the case, since we have no footage they're saying there's no concrete evidence that a human being (obviously not worth being called human having committed something so awful) did this :( it's so obvious from the wounds that it was done using a blade, I dunno how people could think it was anything else
