Woman’s body eaten by 20 cats after collapsing at home

A woman was found partially eaten by her 20 cats after collapsing at her home alone.

Police believe she had been dead for two weeks when they finally found her body surrounded by the animals. 

The gruesome discovery was made after an employee called the police in the Russian city of Bataysk when she was unable to contact her.

‘The cats were left alone on their own for two weeks. There was no food, so what else to eat? 

"It’s understandable right? They ate what there was", said an animal expert who cared for the surviving animals.

Some of the healthier cats were sold on to new owners for £29 each.
