The Daily Splash

The beautiful stray cat that was found in the barbeque last week has now turned into a dangerous killer. Despite the provision of a purpose built cat and kitten house made from an indoor cat cage, roofing felt and acres of cardboard box, which she moved into the day after we built it, kittens in tow.

When we discovered her she had 5 little kittens…she has now munched her way through them at the rate of about one per day until we imagine now she feels her litter is of manageable proportions. There is only one left but she (?we think) has now survived solo for four whole days and there seems to be some rapport at least between mother and daughter.

Admittedly we had very little evidence for the cannibalisation of the litter, except for their disappearance of course, until Catherine found a kitten foot near the cat-house. The horror.
