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.

Well, I think one of the punishments dealt out for this less than human person is the judge should order him to jail plus first wrap him up in duck tape head to toe and let him figure out how to get it off. His skin would be hair free!
