Refrigerator acted as makeshift cat coffin
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.Refrigerator acted as makeshift cat coffin

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.
