Report
Reports of trapped kittens were investigated.
Kittens were indeed trapped, most secured in solidly constructed cages. The cages appeared comfortable, and kittens were provided with food, water, and other necessities.
The beetle was nowhere in evidence. It appeared to have entrusted the kittens to human servants. It may be nocturnal; nighttime observation is recommended.
Kittens did show vampiric tendencies. Caged kittens made several attempts to bite digits held near the cages. A kitten temporarily freed of its cage climbed up this investigator's arm, making for the neck. In no case did a kitten draw blood, however. If vampires, they are still young and ineffective.
Recommendation: leave the kittens in traps and continue to monitor for vampiric and other undesireable behavior.
