Missing Cats

Postby ajkmt » Sun Jul 17, 2005 12:57 pm

I found 2 earwigs in with my cats on the milkweed this morning and now 3 cats are gone. Does anyone know if earwigs eat young cats, under one week?
TIA Jo

The cats are in a container, they weren't on the bottom. I'm sure now the earwigs ate them, there is no other explanation. They were only 3 days old, so they were small.
Well there are nine left. Hopefully we won't have any more problems.
