One of Dante's other works comes to mind where I like to think contains a special layer for animal abusers.
The pain may lessen, but never entirely goes away, from the loss of a loved pet. I still get choked up at times over my baby kitty who has been gone for several years.
I agree, animal-abuser-level of purgatory.
The person made it clear he didn't like cats and several times pushed Dixie quite hard. I called it out and I thought it had stopped. She was a trusting cat though and so I think he managed to get close enough to kick her. Strangely, I also lost a Canon camera lens that weekend, from my camera bag.
From that point no one has stayed at my house, nor will they.
We miss Dixie every day and it hurts a little bit more knowing that her death was avoidable. It's a terrible thing to lose a pet as you clearly know.
Thanks for commenting.
