Invisible fence = invisible cruelty

 As I sit here at 1:17am listening to my cat cry, I now know that is is because the security I felt of him not being able to leave through the dog meant a post size 1/4 inch deep burn and hole in his neck.  After over one year with this product I have just seen the grossest and probably painful injury to my very loved cat.  He'd been acting different lately and I thought it was just that he'd gotten fleas but NOPE!  He was living with a huge burned hole in his neck.  I failed to notice and I feel like shit.  O
Woo hoo for me, in one day my 6 year old tells me she thinks I don't care for her and my cat comes to me with a hole in his neck weeping blood and shows me I don't care about him either.

Oh this is great for my moral.  Both kids hurt in one day (or over that last few weeks I guess).  I can't do a whole lot about Alyssa in one day but I can sure as heck take Nacho in tomorrow.  Thank goodness for credit cards.  

All I can say is yes the invisible fence gave me piece of mind that my cat was going to stay in the house..but no one ever told me that is would come at a cost to his health.  The only good thing I can say about this is that he still cuddled with me these last few days so at least he is better at forgiveness than the rest of us I this family.

My poor baby...I still can't believe I did this to him. :-(  I'll refrain from posting the pic, it is gross.

Beyond sad.
