“Cats Try to Eat Incapacitated Owner

LOS ANGELES – A group of hungry cats began to eat their 86-year-old owner after she suffered an apparent stroke and couldn’t get up for nearly a week, officials said Thursday.

‘The cats were trying to survive in the conditions that they were in, faced with the outcome they had. They did what they had to do to survive,’ animal control Officer Ernesto Poblano told KABC-TV. ‘The cats were all emaciated, very, very emaciated.’

The cats, apparently without food for that time, also tried to eat Lowrie’s small dog, said Jackie David, a spokeswoman for the city Animal Services Department.”
