I was thinking the same thing PP. Not sure whether I'd want it put back or not. It seems all a bit Edgar Allan Poe.

I hope it wasn't put in there alive either... Also, Its a shame people keep finding it it should be left alone to rest in peace.

Yes I agree the poor thing deserves a decent resting place where it will never be disturbed again:cry:

That is horrifying; thank God we've made some progress since the days of such superstition. I cannot keep from thinking of the terror that poor cat felt being immured like that to die a painful death from dehydration and hunger.......
