We have three feral cats who stay with us. We feed and look after them.
A neighbour who lives opposite in a plywood house who originally came from a village claims the cats were originally his but I think the same family might has stayed there but moved to our house with a better food supply.
Yesterday evening I found the cats had lost control of their rear legs and were falling about. It appears our neighbour had fed them some drug or medicine to allow him to handle them, and then kill them. They were bound for the pot. Abhorrent though you might find it it’s quite normal to eat cat and dog down here for those that might not be able to afford meat.
I let him know my feelings about doing this and told he should leave them alone. This morning they seem to be okay so I’m happy we managed to save them.
