Final Chapter in the Sticky the Cat Story

Published October 5, 2009

A huge number of people were moved deeply by the recent story about "Sticky the cat", the sweet young feline that was so cruelly wrapped in duct tape and then abandoned. Fortunately the conclusion of this story has a happy ending, in which Sticky was adopted by a loving family, and a Philadelphia man was arrested as the prime suspect in the commission of the crime of cruelty to animals.

However, it was difficult to be able to see just how beautiful this kitty really is. The pictures which circulated widely around the Internet were graphic photos taken before she was released from her duct tape imprisonment. Several folks inquired about if it were possible to see "Sticky" devoid of her silver binding.

In order to end the story completely, here is the photograph taken shortly after the caring staff at PSPCA patiently and lovingly liberated her from her taped prison.
Check out the video uploaded to YouTube by The Associated Press. It features the entire story from the heartbreaking beginning to its wonderfully fortuitous ending.

Isn't it interesting that many of us thought the felon was a teenage boy. Last year Mango - a calico set on fire in Merced Ca became a part of my concern - she was taken to Best Friends but they could not save her. I contacted the detective in Merced PD and he tracked down the felon though his cell phone - a 19 year old guy who set Mango on fire, killed her because her owner dissed him. The cop was the hero. So this a very fine ending to a sadly similar story.

I am a cat owner to a female tabby cat. She is now 2 years old and was a stray when I found her last year. I love her so much and treat her like my little daughter. She has a wonderful home that I made for her. She is my little angel.
