CATS TRY TO EAT OWNER!

A group of hungry cats began to eat their 86-year-old owner after she suffered an apparent stroke and couldn't get up for nearly a week, officials said Thursday.

Mae Lowrie, who lives with seven cats, was discovered unconscious and riddled with bite marks Wednesday night at her Panorama City apartment, Fire Department and hospital officials said.

"The cats were trying to survive in the conditions that they were in, faced with the outcome they had. They did what they had to do to survive," animal control Officer Ernesto Poblano told KABC-TV. "The cats were all emaciated, very, very emaciated."

The cats, apparently without food for that time, also tried to eat Lowrie's small dog, said Jackie David, a spokeswoman for the city Animal Services Department. The terrier showed signs of hypothermic shock, severe dehydration, respiratory illness and was later euthanized, she said.


It is obvious that animal control has taken the cats' side and claiming temporary insanity on their behalf. I am certain that this is not an isolated instance and if these cannibals are allowed to go free we will all be in danger of being ripped to shreds by feral felines and devoured alive by roving packs of the beasts. I am surprised that no one else has found this disturbing enough to comment earlier! Possibly the major networks have not covered the story for fear of mass rioting, but I heard on NPR that the terror level has been jogged up a notch today for somewhat mysterious reasons...
