A black and white cat is lucky that Raymond Deidesheimer and his girlfriend were walking in the street in the Bronx on Wednesday when he saw a cat carrier in a pile of trash that was going to be picked in a few minutes by a garbage truck. Raymond picked up the cat carrier and he saw a small black and white cat that was inside the carrier who would have probably perished if he was not taken away from the trash pile. Raymond took the small cat to his home. His girlfriend called Little Wanderers NYC to ask them if anyone lost their cat. Little Wanderers officials told Raymond to bring the cat to the animal shelter to be vetted and cleared so Raymond could adopt the cat. When Raymond was able to adopt the cat he was named Earnest Raymond after the person who rescued the cat from being chomped by the garbage compactor. How was the person or person who would do that a cat is not clear.

It is not nice to have a cat thrown inside of a cat carrier in the garbage bin. Paybacks are coming to that person one day.

I agree with you. Cats have feelings too.

@Deepizzaguy Yes they certainly do. All animals have feelings and there are humans that see and understand that and humans that are very cruel and do not care. Why they would hurt an innocent animal I will never understand. Would these types of people throw their kids out too if they do not like them?

That is true since I like cats a lot even though most of them that I know of like to stay with other members of my family.
