a few years ago i lived down th street from a family who's cat just had two kittens. two weeks after the kittens were born the three children placed the kittens in a plastic icechest and started to fill it with water. after about a minute I walked by just as the kids were pulling the waterhose out of the chest. I ran up when I found out what they were doing and pulled the kittens out and ran home to try to save them. after about five minutes of rubbing them in a towel i was able to get them to breath normaly again. now two years later, Angel and Midnight are still thriving members of the family. I am just glad that I was able to get there in time to save them.
ugh!! Poor kittens! I'm a fellow cat lover and that would have sicken me to the bone. Sadly I would have kicked the kids butt. Did you say anything to the kids? How old were they? Not cool! How could people even kids do such a terrible thing as hurt poor kittens? I just don't get it? I'm thankful that you rescued them in time. Good job!!
If I was you i would have went over and popped each of them in the nos for doing that. they should experience the same hardships they put th kittens through.
