More neighbourly drama...

Next door (the other side from the arsehole) have cats, one of which was found dead underneath the ferret hutch in my garden this afternoon - whether it was because they could smell it there, two of the kids had also managed to escape out of the hutch and were capering around the neighbourhood before someone caught them and brought them back. Apparently one strolled in through someone's back door as if he owned the place, which doesn't surprise me in the least!

They think the cat might have been poisoned and there's no sign of any trauma, so the kids aren't suspects, I'm glad to say. Time to reinforce the catches so there's no repeat performance for the furry Houdinis...

No idea, since there seem to be a lot of cats around here and I've not heard about anything like this before. One of their relatives is a vet, so I think there's going to be an autopsy since the cat was only 6 - it's equally possible, of course, that it got hit by a car and dragged itself under the hutch with internal injuries, since it would be less than 50m from the road there...

Not good, whatever happened. :(
