Kittens Recovering After Frying Pan Incident

Five kittens thrown into a pan of frying pork chops were recovering at an animal shelter and the man accused of scalding them was awaiting a court appearance.

The kittens, about six or seven weeks old, were injured in a city apartment when a visitor threw them into a pan with hot cooking oil.

The abuse occurred when a resident of the apartment left the kitchen, where he was cooking at the stove.

"The visitor started taking his clothes off, took two kittens, put them in the frying pan with the hot oil and pork chops and began swishing them around," Loubert said. "Then he threw one kitten on the floor and he took the other one and wiped it off on the wall. Then he put three more kittens into the frying pan."

The kittens suffered slightly burned skin and are expected to recover.
