CAT AND CHICKEN

It’s not clear how they ended up in the doorway together or where they came from.

Burn injuries were suffered by both the chicken and cat.

Whiskers, the cat had burns on his paws from the heat emanating from the ground and visits the local animal hospital daily for bandage changes.
