They weren't entombed by witches. They crawled in under the add-on feeders in the corner of a couple of stalls and died. It's high desert here; they dessicated rather than rotted. I found them when I took the feeders apart to remove them.

The barn and surrounding area hosted an entire colony of feral cats when I moved in. I'm sure that's where they came from.

The article didn't say what evidence led them to believe the cat was entombed alive, on purpose. Just the location and it's history, or?
