Just heard back from the vet: the cat is going to be just fine. They opened the wound and cleaned it nicely. He will be coming back this afternoon. I am not sure about his mobility as yet... will just have to wait and see.
That is the good news.
Today my anger has abated a little. What is left a big disappointment in my fellow-man. The person that did this is also breaking the law can be fined up to R2000 or 1 year in prison. I will open a case with the police in order to have this on record if this happens to someone else's animals as well.
I am also thinking of putting up a couple of posters around our area. Maybe this person will see it and come clean? Perhaps my trust in other people might be restored a little after that... but I am not betting money on it!

Animal Cruelty
Animal cruelty images
Yes- that is how my cat came home tonight. Some person used him for target practice... how can this person do such a thing??? What angers me even more is the fact that this was done by a person in my extended neighborhood!
The arrow only entered the skin itself (we think). The vet will open him tomorrow to have a closer look.
To the coward attacker: I hope you sleep well tonight... but tomorrow you really should read this and hope I never find out who you are:
The law protecting this animal
