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.”

“Animal sacrifice is called matanza,[226] with the person carrying it out termed the matador.[227] This is usually a man,[228] with menstruating women prohibited from involvement.[134] Birds—including guinea fowl, chickens, and doves—are commonly sacrificed, usually by having their throats slit or their heads twisted and ripped off.[229] For rituals of greater importance, sacrifices are often of four-legged animals.[74] Some practitioners describe the killing of animals as an acceptable substitute to human sacrifice,[230] and in Cuba there have been persistent rumours of children being sacrificed in Santería rites.[231] The oricha and egun are believed to “eat” the blood of the victim;[232] the latter’s lifeforce is deemed to transfer to the oricha, thus strengthening its aché.[233] An animal that struggles to avoid being killed is sometimes understood as having particular strength which will then pass to the oricha.[233]
Once killed, the animals’ severed heads may be placed on top of the sopera belonging to the oricha to which the sacrifice has been directed.[234] After the carcass has been butchered, some of the organs—known as acheses—may be cooked and offered to the oricha;[235] other parts will be eaten by practitioners.[236] Some of the blood may be collected and added to omiero, an infusion of herbs and water.[227] Believed to contain much aché,[237] this liquid is used for removing malevolent influences and in ceremonies for baptising ritual tools.[227] Santería’s animal sacrifice has been a cause of concern for many non-practitioners.[238] It has sometimes brought adherents into confrontation with the law,[239] as with the 1993 case of Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that animal cruelty laws targeted specifically at Santería were unconstitutional.[240]”

Sacrifices to JOBU and Kammy, Jammy, Mammy. It’s either the Haitians or the “media mafioso” who is trying to cover up for the weirdo Caribbeaners.
How can they be hungry? They get plenty of benefits, surely.
Has there been a TexasGator sighting in Bangor???
Although the MSM quickly criticized Trump for his cats and dogs comment, of course twisting this into a racist issue also, the truth is that cats and dogs are on the menu in many parts of the world.
When I was in Korea 98-99 I refused the Kagogie. South Korea, just this year banned the production of dog meat: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67920167
As usual, the MSM attempts to make Trump out as crazy, racist, sexist, ridiculous... but he’s actually probably right.
Before the MSM pretended like this doesn’t happen:
https://www.wfla.com/news/house-passes-bill-prohibiting-human-consumption-of-cat-dog-meat/
https://www.thedailymeal.com/9-countries-eat-cats-and-dogs/11414/
There are actually 14 countries where dogs are on the menu.
Funny how when Trump says something, suddenly it becomes racist, ridiculous, sexist, outrageous... even if the MSM themselves covered the same topic years prior.
it is animal sacrifices as an offering to the spirits
Bingo. It's happening right here in Flyover, USA now. But nobody can stomach making memes about that because it is too disturbing.
t appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too-in some more double complex way, involving doublethink-Syme, swallow it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
― Orwell George, 1984
