Sudden Wave of Cat Disappearances Reported in US Town: ‘Wildlife Not Responsible’

A disturbing wave of cats suddenly vanishing without a trace has been reported in Bangor, Maine, leaving distraught residents at a loss as to what the reason could be.
Authorities said the search for the missing cats has not uncovered any remains, adding more depth to the mystery.
The incidents first occurred in August, when 6 cats were reported missing over the course of a month.
However, that number increased over time.
“There was never this kind of spike of this kind of activity,” Matt Morgan, the owner of missing feline Eloise, told WCSH-TV,
“And the animals that disappeared were either found later, or it just wasn’t at that rate.”
Unsurprisingly, the disappearances have caused anxiety and unease for the pet owners.
For the owners, the disappearances are a source of anxiety and unease.
Anne Foster, the owner of another missing cat, said, “There’s really a hole in my heart without her,” referring to her pet.
“It’s like you’re in grief,” she later continued.
“But you can’t really grieve, because you don’t know if they’re actually gone.”
While Bangor’s animal control officer, Trisha Bruen, claimed the city’s spike in cat disappearances was down to wildlife, pet owners and one government agency doubted her claims.
“The question is, where’s her collar?” Foster asked. “Where’s her remains, if it was an animal?”
Meanwhile, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife pushed back against the wildlife theory, asserting that the area had become a Bermuda Triangle for cats.
“We do not believe that wildlife is responsible,” MDIFW Communications Director Mark Latti told Maine Wire.
“The neighborhood has had foxes, coyotes and fisher there for years without incident, yet during this recent time period of about two months, 16 cats disappeared.
“If it were wildlife-related, you would not have seen that sudden surge of cats disappearing.”
Maine isn’t the only area that has seen a disturbing spike in animal disappearances.
As we reported earlier this month, Queens, New York, recorded an unprecedented surge of animals going missing as a result of horrific animal sacrifices.
At least nine severely scarred dead animals have been found in the Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Broad Channel.
Of those wounded animals found, it included pigs, which had partially severed ears.
Residents also found a barely alive baby rat in a bag with chicken bones, a severed chicken head, and a live hen in distress.
Authorities also found a deceased dog with its neck snapped.
“It’s continually getting worse. The animal sacrifices are happening more repeatedly, more times a week,” Sloane Quealy, co-founder and president of Zion’s Mission Animal Rescue, told the New York Post.
“The sacrificers know it’s open season.”

I hear they taste like chicken, especially when fried, instead of chicken and waffles, the latest delicacy is Cat and Waffles.
