The cat pauses to glare at Walter, and he briefly feels guilty for disturbing its feast.

His remorse morphs into horror as he realizes what it’s eating.

He reassures himself his mom, who always nagged him for not stopping by, would be happy her favorite cat was so well fed.

Author’s note: Researchers inadvertently discovered that feral cats will gladly eat decomposing bodies, but try as I might, Google won’t tell me how badly decomposed they have to be to give the poor kitties a tummy ache.
