Yesterday we all saw the cat that had been trapped in a jerrycan for 4 days in Kiembeni, Mombasa. Kiembeni villagers had refused to help it claiming it was a DEMONI. I guess with all the cat stories in Mombasa, the villagers had some justification to their fear.
Anyway here is what Kenyans tweeted about the story:
Phillip Mwaniki - Release the damn cat. That's just painful to watch.
Poshia Musesya - So, a cat is suspected to be a human but for 4 days it has not transformed back into a human and rescued itself? Mombasa yawa.
@pmureith - Only in Mombasa. An eye witness confessed on TV that a 'male' kitten/cat gave birth same area
