Hi. I have been MIA, I know. But I have been reading the posts...just been busy planning my wedding (Dec. 23) and trying to keep myself from going insane while my fiancee is away at US Marine Corps boot camp. ANYWAY....
I have been helping a friend of mine TNR about 15 cats in her neighborhood. We have only 3 to go...roughly 20 week old kittens. Two are torties, so they are females for sure. They have been tough to trap.
Just this morning, my friend leaves her house on her way to work and notices what looks like just bones of the back legs and perhaps hip bone of a cat. There was some blood and some fur (not attached to anything) resting on the bones. She has not noticed any stray dogs or other predatory animals around (but perhaps she just hasn't seen them). She has one neighbor who is very uncooperative with the other neighbors. She is the biggest problem with this colony.
She basically contributed to the colony by letting one of her cats get pregnant and have a litter of kittens, which she basically just threw out into the neighborhood to roam freely. So my friend was thinking that maybe the bones were some kind of voodoo or brujeria.
Does anyone know of an animal that could do this? Lave bare bones, some blood and detached fur? She didn't notice any other bones, but she was freaked out so perhaps she just didn't see them.
I'm sorry to gross anyone out, but this is a little scary. Oh and we think that that kitty was most likely one of the tortie babies.
Thanks.
