!!!WARNING GRAPHIC STORY!!!
Me and my friend had to pick up my brother from work tonight at 11:00. We picked him up and drove back to my house. We sat and chatted for a good hour before we finally decided to go inside. When my brother got up the stairs, Lilly, the feral kitten, was sitting at the door. She bolted it and ran under his truck. I got so excited thinking that I was going to catch Lilly tonight.
It was 1:00 in the morning and there I was, halfway under a truck trying to get Lilly to come to me. She started rubbing against something, purring and meowing. I thought nothing of it. My brother almost caught her, but she bolted out from under the truck and went under the house.
My friend went under the house to catch her while I blocked the entrance. She snuck right under me, I barely even noticed her. I swung my hand and got her scruff. That kitten is smaller than I thought, maybe 2-3 months old if even. She started hissing and scratching, I had to let the poor thing go.
Lilly ran back under the truck, or so I thought. I dug my flashlight out of my pocket and began my search once again. I went to the side of the truck where she was rubbing against something, and I saw an adult cat laying halfway under the truck. The Calico cat didn't move an inch. I thought "that's odd, I just made a huge noise and this cat didn't even flinch!" I figured it was just a stray that didn't mind humans. I looked closer and realized, she was frozen to death.
I ran in the house screaming and shaking. I asked my brother to come with me to identify the cat. She was Lilly's mother, Patches. That's why Lilly was rubbing against her lifeless body. Her own mother, frozen to death.
Me and my brother noticed something horrifying, half of her back was eaten. You could see her spine. The base of her tail was ripped off and there was a hole through her rib cage. The blood was still bright red, but frozen. This obviously took place not to long before we found her. I noticed that her tail was covered in about an inch of snow. We had about 5 inches fall tonight. It was -10 last night, just freezing.
I am still in shock as I type this. I swear I saw my own life flash before my eyes. Seeing that helpless cat laying there, her baby right beside her.
I am going to call the SPCA as soon as they open. I think the racoons got her. Their is no other explanation as to what could have done that to her.
Pray for Lilly until I catch her. I don't want this to happen to any other cats.
