Excuse the Daily Mail click-bait thread title - not what it seems but sad.
We have a large brick built Barbeque which was last used 2 nights ago . I went to belatedly clean it this morning and found a large cat dead laying on what was left of the coals. I recognised it to be a Feral that we sometimes see and sometimes leave food out for.
It was v cold here last night and I am guessing the cat sensed there was some slight degree of residual warmth left 24 hours after the fire had gone out and lay upon it to keep warm but nevertheless seems to have died of hypothermia .
I just buried it - beautiful thing ...it's made me quite sad.
Makes you thing of all those poor creatures and humans who dont have a warm bed on cold nights like last night.
