Help!!!
My cat gave birth to a litter of 5 kittens on Easter Sunday. Three days later, one was missing...nowhere to be found. NOWHERE. My apartment is relatively unfurnished -as I just moved in- so there are very few places to hide, anyways. My boyfriend and I are *positive* that there's no way the kitten couldn've escaped outside, and there's been no offensive odor in the weeks following to suggest a decomposing body anywhere...Point is, the only conclusion I can come up with is that my cat ate her newborn after she noticed it was in poor health or something...to all you cat-lovers out there: is this even plausable?
Please let me know. This has been an upsetting experience for all of us...
Thanks.
