Yesterday, the plight of a cat that has been trapped in a jerrycan for 4 days at a village in Kiembeni, Mombasa, was highlighted.
Villagers have refused to save with most of them in agreement that it is a demon. This is not the first time we’re hearing cat stories in Mombasa, and probably their worries are justified. But what do other Kenyans think?
Below is a collection of tweets on the story.
Phillip Mwaniki – Release the damn cat. That’s just painful to watch.
