Today's American Gothic comes from the small town of Albion, Pennsylvania, where police discovered cats chewing on human corpses. Or, as a Toronto paper put it,
"Neglected cats feed on the flesh of dead man"
It's a grim story all around, a despairing Gothic.
Observers of real-world Gothic will probably note that Albion is near the city of Erie, which featured one of the most strange and awful true crime stories of our time. Here's one of our posts from then.

The hope of green fields, we yearn for the dream!

Cats eat different kind of meat... so there's no reason why they won't eat dead man's flesh...
