RANDOLPH, Mass. (AP) — A bizarre scene of a group of wild turkeys walking in a circle around a dead cat was caught on video by a Massachusetts man who perhaps best described it: an attempt to give the feline its 10th life.

Jonathan Davis came across the fowl play in the Boston suburb of Randolph Thursday. He posted a video on Twitter that he says was viewed a half million times by the late afternoon.

The recording shows what appears to be 17 turkeys circling the cat.

Do turkeys do that for each other? That is very weird.

The headline on the two previous posts were more entertaining:

Sinister moment turkeys perform 'death dance' around a dead cat that was run over by a car
Gobble gobble, toil and trouble! Sinister moment turkeys perform death dance around a dead cat.

Nothing comparable to a "sinister moment"!

Took me a moment to relate TWoO to the turkeys POV, but my first thought was about the turkeys gloating.

Hey, now there's another dead cat available to run for POTUS in 2020. /Bloom County

The weirdest dead cat thing I have ever seen was driving home one night. This cat had it’s entire back half squashed flat by a car tire. The front half of the cat was REALLY upset about it. That was gruesome.

Why don’t people rotate their cameras when recording videos?

I NEVER used to see turkeys. Then about 1995 in Florida turkeys were everywhere.

Today in Maryland the damn things are like rats.

Is that due to decreased hunting of them?
