A spate of inexplicable cat mutilations is occurring in America. The recent incidences are in Kelowna, a city in the south of Canada’s British Columbia province in the Okanagan Valley, on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake. There is a warning to cat owners in the downtown Kelowna area to keep their pets inside, as reports circulate of animals being mutilated. More concerned Kelowna citizens have come forward to try and help find out what is going on after several mutilated cats have been discovered over the past few days.
Alexandria O'Neill says one of her four cats was cut in half, discovering the body just outside a neighbour's door on Friday.
In front of her house, right in front of her vehicle. It was just cut side up and it was just blood and flies. She's like 'that's not your cat is it?' and I was like 'that looks like my cat Misses and then I flipped her over and it was my cat and I just broke down," explains O'Neill. "we are currently waiting for the results of a necropsy that is being completed by investigators with the SPCA to determine the cause of death.
O'Neill says there were no bite marks and no blood, it was a clean cut. O'Neill and her husband were told by a friend that half a cat, the backside, was found at Bankhead Elementary on Wilson Avenue.
I got into contact and got a picture and confirmed it was the back half of my cat, also a clean cut.
Another cut-in-half cat has been found in a Kelowna park. Ray Peron says his cat, Mouse, went missing Saturday night in the Glen Park Dr. area and then he received a phone call from a stranger saying they had found his cat, at least what was left of her.
I got a call because her collar was still on and the body was left in Glen Matera Park but from her front legs back, her face was there, her shoulders were there, and then there was nothing.
..even the spine was gone.
He has already buried Mouse and was content to write it off as a coyote killing until he saw the story about another cat that was also found in half and he began to reconsider. "I don't know what a coyote kill looks like but I'm pretty sure when a coyote takes a cat they take it away and eat it somewhere else. They don't leave them around and this was left right in the park.
Residents are advised to keep their pets inside at night.
In the meantime we ask the obvious question. Who takes the spine from these cats and leaves them bloodless?
