PANORAMA CITY — An elderly woman who may have suffered a stroke was hospitalized today after several of her pet cats bit her while she was incapacitated, possibly because they were hungry, officials said.
Paramedics sent to the 13500 block of Saticoy Street about 9:30 last night took the woman, in her 80s, to a hospital in critical condition, said Jim Wells of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

A pet dog apparently also was bitten by the cats.
Authorities withheld the name of the woman, who lived alone with numerous pets, Wells said. She had lived there for about 20 years, Wells said. "Witnesses said they had not seen her in about a week," Wells said. "The animals had not been fed, and it appears that some of them had started to bite her." She had also been bitten by fleas, Wells said.
Animal control workers removed the pets from the residence.
Here Kitty Kitty....

You know that was an unfair post...I beleive if anyone is starving animal or person they will eat whatever they can to survive, I have never had the unfortunate experience of dealing with the pain of starvation but if I was I cannot imagine I would ever eat a skunk a roach or a dead person!

But I am sure others would just like some animals would or would not... My Kitty Zorro would not eat certain things if he is hungry he waits for the right food what he would do after 7 days I am sure is eat the food he hated to begin with.
