My 6 year old son and my 4 year old daughter killed the kittens
by nurturinghome, Jul 14, 2008 03:05AM
They always are playing nicely with the cats - mother cat and 2 female kittens. My daughter sometimes is a little too rough but nothing not normal.
I was napping on an afternoon. when I woke up I saw the 3 cats were missing. When I asked my children where are the cats my 6 year old son put an overly innocent care and said 'I don't know' and he elbowed his 4 year old sister to say the same. She said 'I dont know' with this stifled giggle.
when I started to search for the cats, my daughter ran to the coat closet and stood there. She tried to prevent me from opening the closet door. I opened it. I saw the mother cat sitting there with the saddest expression I ever saw on a cat. Next to her there were 2 clear plastic toy jars. When i removed these jars I saw that they each contained one kitten. And they were laying there limp. then i saw they were dead from being suffocated in these jars. I frantically opened them and tried to relive the kittens but it was too late. they were dead. I told my son look they are dead!!!! They couldn't breat!!! My son was sitting on the couch in an infant position and crying tearless. My daughter just disconnected herself and went to play with her toys. I feel so bad I am not sure they have remorse over what they did!
And my son did hide things in the past for instance he hid his clothes I layed for him for his school day, or hid away the bedroom keys and having us searching for them frantically as he hid his amused smile. We are very liberal parents and are close to my children. I dont know why they are behaving this way! and i dont knwo what to do to prevent it from happening. And the lack of remorse over the kittens death worries me! Any advice?

I do not really have any advice. I do think that the behaviors are quite troubling...perhaps you should call your children's physician and see what he/she suggests?
