KINGSTON, N.H. -- Owners of a New Hampshire home are facing charges after
six kittens were rescued from the empty house, police said.

The owners were evicted two weeks ago. Authorities said they left behind six
kittens to fend for themselves in the house, which was as cold as 10
degrees.

The felines survived by eating Styrofoam and plastic and drinking antifreeze
tainted toilet water, police said.

All six kittens are now at a shelter where officials said they should be
healthy enough to adopt soon

No kidding. Antifreeze? I thought that was deadly. And exactly which
nutrients are found in styrofoam??

Some people are just morons. Heartless, too.

That particular antifreeze is made of Propylene Glycol, which is safe
to drink. If I remember right, some foods have it in them. (just
checked - LOTS of things have it in them!) The little guys will be
safe, now that they are in good hands.
