Animal mutilation?
One of my cats had been gone for a couple of days. He did that from time to time, but after three days I became worried and called for him off and on throughout the day. Early the next morning just as the sun was beginning to rise, I noticed something dark in the grass near the road. The form was not there the night before. Since he was a black cat I thought that he might be sleeping there. I began walking down the driveway calling his name. I had a flashlight and shone it on the dark form in the grass. At first it looked like a pile of leaves, but as I walked around the form I could see his face. He was covered with live oak leaves. We don’t have live oaks in our yard, but there are live oak leaves all over the ground of the empty lot across the street.
The sun was getting brighter and I could see that my cat was missing a lot of hair and I could follow a trail of tufts of his hair that led back across the street to the empty lot. It looked like he was dragged across the street with his tail pointing away from the lot making me think that he was dragged by it. There aren’t any dogs roaming the neighborhood, but I looked at his tail which had become almost entirely hairless to see if there were any bite marks, but I saw none.
My cat was missing his left ear and it looked like the ear had been cut off and was still bloody. I could smell that he was decomposing, so I went to get a shovel to pick him up to be buried. As I turned him over and his mouth was wide open and full of maggots. All of his body was covered with maggots, except the ear that was bloody. I don’t understand why the maggots wouldn’t be in the ear.
I would not think any further than it being a wild animal attack, but with no bite marks and the ear was cleanly severed from his head. I have reported several sightings including the circular object that was in our neighborhood and followed my car down the street, so I suspect that this may not be so simple a death. I’m not crazy and have thought long and hard about posting this.
