MONTREAL, June 20 (UPI) -- Movers cleaning out a loft in the Canadian province of Quebec recently found 43 dead cats placed in a refrigerator alongside condiments and other food items.
The Montreal loft previously had been rented by a couple in their 50s and the discovery of their grisly refrigerator contents left their former neighbors questioning the couple's motivation, The (Montreal) Gazette said Wednesday.
"The impression I'm starting to get is that they wanted to have their own animal sanctuary," said Greg Wanless, who lives in the loft next door.
The fact that syringes were found in many of the cats' bodies has led some to postulate the couple may have given the felines impromptu medical care.
Another 13 cats were found in the apartment alive and are receiving appropriate medical treatment.
The Gazette said authorities were determining whether they can charge the couple with animal cruelty, since Canadian law states an intent to be cruel must be proven for prosecution.

Having once lived next door to an elderly woman with 50 to 60 cats,the memory of the stench haunts me still! I was often 'voluntereed" to cut wood for her and the wood was totally urine soaked by the cats. Oh, those misty days when the warm, musty aroma would come wafting our way......I still hate cats, by the way

Senility and having a couple dozens cats go hand in hand I guess.

I don't hate cats but I can't think of a reason why anyone would want 50 of them unless it's mental defect. or stupidity...
