Am i responsible for the death of kittens?
I recovered a repressed childhood memory. I'm not sure how old I was, somewhere between 5-8. At the time I lived with my mother and my uncle at my grandmothers house.
It was winter and it was very cold out. A stray cat and her kittens took shelter in our garage. I wanted to bring them inside but my grandmother wouldn't allow it "because they probably had fleas" etc. however my grandmother had 2 cats and a dog in that house before I was born and they were mostly outdoor pets.
I remember finding the cats huddled together in a rolled up carpet, frozen solid, like kitten popscicles....
I think my uncle took a snow shovel and through them in the garbage can...
I'm horrified to remember this now that I'm 20. My mother confirmed it isn't something I imagined. I'm left with many questions about this but my main question is:
Because I was aware of the situation and didn't do anything about it (like disobey my grandmother and bring them in anyway) am I also guilty for the hypothermic death of a litter of kittens?
