This is from World's Finest Comics #289. It's written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Adrian Gonzales. The cover is by Gil Kane.


Batman is upset when he is unable to save a mugging victim.


Meanwhile, Superman saves some rock climbers from getting flattened by a giant boulder. He overhears the climbers react in wonder, and feels depressed at how his world is destroyed and that he's alone.

Later in the batcave, a depressed Batman asks Alfred to leave him alone.










Then they deal with these weird tentacle aliens.

I mean, what happened? Did the cat kill the kitten, or was it already dead? What did you?

I don't really know, I arrived home and was received by the cat meowing for me to folow her, she obviously wanted to ahow me what happened. She went into her makeshift mouse -a box with cloth in the bedroom- and when I looked in, she'd just put her head into the remaining half of the kitten and then looked around licking herself and meowing. I fell on my knees, pulled her away, and pulled the box up as she strove to get back in. :-S

I prefered to think the kitten died for whatever reason and she just saw it as a kind of means of disposing of the remains, but why lead me like that and then start to chew?? If you are open to a maybe unlikelier explanation, there was supposedly a nasty spirit infestation going on at the time but I'm not going into that here. Anyway, whatever happened that day, that cat took a liking to cannibalism - a few months later she stalked another cat as she was giving birth and my mother literally had to pull one out of her jaws. After that, I gave the cat away to somebody with a fruit warehopuse where there were no other cats.

Wow, sorry. How long did you have her?

Were all the kittens okay?

I'd had her for five or six years by then, after rescuing her as a kitten from a large street downtown. And, no, I'm afraid they weren't all okay. :-(

I found this on the net.

Thanks for the links, this is quite interesting. My best guess is the kitten just died for some reason, or maybe was indeed sick -it was a couple of months old already, not so little. And she may have gone after the other cat's children out of rivalry, or maybe some smell, or whatever.

On a lighter note, that article reminded me of another couple of female cats who gave birth around the same time and usually mixed up the kittens, they kept stealing them from the other and fetching all of them into their own bed a couple of times a day for weeks!

Since this stuff will probably make the day for cat haters, I'd rather mention that I've also seen cats disprove the idea of them having no loyalty or attachment. Once, when I gave a tomcat a weenie, instead of eating it, it went up two flights of stairs in order to give it to the female who was caring for their babies! The most amazing thing was probably when my old dog who had cataracts and could not see befriended a cat (the son of the ones I just mentioned) who actually led him up and down the stairs! He would go right in front of the dog, climb up or down a step and meow, the dog would advance that step, then the cat repeated the procedure. I remembered that when somebody mentioned that cats could not be trained to lead the blind a few days ago when commenting Streaky's doings.
