How could they do this! Don't you want to go, find them and throw them out of a car? And she's such a pretty baby! Of course, I'm rather partial to black cats, not only do I have 4 of them, but my first cat I went looking for a black cat! http://www.shorehamherald.co.uk/horsham-news/Cat-thrown-from-car-at.5085851.jp

Hmmm... I think there's something more to this than meets the eye. Tess isn't a young cat, although she's not that old either, and I don't feel that owners would suddenly decide to take this appalling action. I feel it might rather be the work of youngsters, as this kind of thing seems to happen in speights. There have been a few instances of cruelty to cats, at the hands of youngsters. Why they do it, I don't know, but the same should be done to them. Broadbridge Heath is quite close to where I live, and I've shopped at that Tesco on occasions. I think I might have taken the number plate of the car pretty pronto had I been there at the time she was tossed out of the car. I hope somebody had the presence of mind to do that and that these people are caught! Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Yes, I "know" Tamara and I've met Littleowl. They both live in quite close proximity to me. I have to say that Tess is a beautiful cat, and I would say, prior to this incident, well looked after. That's why I don't think the owners would have tossed her from the car, and knowing how kids have treated cats, in speights as I said, I rather suspect that this was done either to spite the owners or to draw attention to some spiteful kids, who thought they were being "big" to treat a cat this way.

oh? so do you know Tamara? No, Tess isn't a baby, but she doesn't look quite fully grown either.

The cat hid under a trolley for 10 days? Sounds more to the story than what is being reported there 'eh? Thanks Zelo

A trolley is a shopping cart... that is a new term for me. I lived in an area where they called them buggies but never heard the term trolley for a shopping cart. ... learned something today Thanks Zelo

well, it was more than one trolley - shopping carts we call them here - and she probably kept ducking away when they moved them. At least she's safe now.

i can't look at that..i would want to kill someone. people like this..are lucky as hell i'm not a judge. i'd have the same thing done to them,scaled up to human size.needless to say,i probably wouldn't be on the bench pretty long. 4 black cats! wow! i have just the one,and i'd often wondered what it would be like having several.

yep, 4 of them, actually - 5 at the moment, because one of the feral kittens is also black - but there's no way to mistake Tuti or Sassy as compared to Scamp and Nef, now those two look similar, but on closer examination they are still different.

If I ever see anybody doing anything that's cruel to any animal, I will step up and do something about it right then and there! I will never ever stand for animal cruelty no matter who's doing the mean and cruel deeds!! As they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!! I wish I lived nearby for I'd be more than happy to take her in!!

I do too, and if she was in my area, I'd've probably put in an adoption app.

The article implies that the cat was thrown with enough force to hurt it, which clearly wasn't so. Misleading to say the least. Sorry, back to the fact that these people abandoned the cat in the car park. How irresponsible of them! If they didn't want the cat anymore, they should have taken her to the local animal shelter where she would have received good care and attention and be given the opportunity to find the right home. I had to give up my cats a few years back, but I at least had the decency to take them to the local shelter and give a detailed description of what they were like personality wise, their food preferences, medical history and the fact they were indoor cats and terrified of the outside world. These people tossed Tess out of a car like she were no more than a piece of rubbish.

It amazes me to no end how cold people can be. I don't understand how someone can hurt an animal like that. It makes me sick. I have always been partial to black cats too. I remember being a child and my grandmother telling me to make sure the black cats were in on halloween because she was sfraid someone would do something cruel to them. I just hate that people have it in them to do such things to defensless animals.

We are big animal lovers in my family, and I'm sure that we'd all agree with the fact that whoever would throw an animal out a window deserves to be tossed out a window themselves. What kind of cold-hearted person would do a thing like this? Absolutely unbelievable.

Some people have no sense of responsibility for animal life. How can they sleep at night? Cats and dogs are not toys to play with and trow them away. I hope Tess will find good home.

I'm sure that since she's made the news, she'll have hundreds of offers to rehome her! and the people that threw her out should be thrown out!

Aww--poor baby. Tess looks like my Pyewacket. Unfortunately one hears of stories like this all too often where people just take a pet (cat or dog) drive to a strange neighborhood and dump them. At least Tess is taken care of now though and has hopes of being adopted by someone who really wants her

Hi Elic, This news story is in my home town and I know that stores but i dnon't shop there, I am disgusted with the owner of the cat to do that to a poor cat, I got my cat when he was a kitten at cat shelter and I wouldn't part with him, I love him to bits and that is why I cannot understand why anyone can do that to any animals, I hope the cctv will get the person who done that and fine them heavyly.

I like to throw them out of a speeding car in the middle of nowhere. I wish someone had gotten the license and the idiots could be arrested. A few years in jail with a cell mate named Spike would serve them well. I also have a thing for black cats even though I don't have one in the 15 who reside with me. I have a black dog though. I adopted out all my black cats. Weird because usually people don't want black cats. Silly people. Black cats are the best.

I agree that black cats are GREAT - so many are either mostly Siamese or Bombay and those are GREAT breeds

I didn't watch the video because I really don't have the stomach for something like that. I have a black cat though. Her name is "Everywhere". Its my son's cat and we've had her for less than a year. She's a little pain in the butt, always tearing up the toilet paper or finding something to get ahold of, but life wouldn't be the same without her. We keep her indoors so her fur is beautiful, but she's starting to shed and thats another little perk I could live without. LOL.

I'd like for justice to prevail with these sort of people. Do unto others and all that. Meaning, if you throw a cat out a car window, the exact same thing will happen to you. Set a cat on fire, guess what will happen to you? I have no sympathy for these kinds of people. Who do they think they are, God? I'd sure like to play Punisher with them! Let's show these foul creatures the same mercy they show the animals. That's fair!
