Woman Finds Cat Mutilated In Garage
Police Worry Cat's Killer Could Target Other Animals, People
POSTED: 10:58 am CST December 16, 2004
HOUSTON -- Houston police are trying to figure out if someone is preying on pets in southeast Houston.
A woman came home and found her cat mutilated inside her garage at Sylvan and Idylwood Wednesday.
Hollie Myers told Local 2 she thinks the cat killer scaled her fence, walked through her back yard to a door that had been left open for the cat.
"It seems very personal. It scares me that they would do it in my garage, where I can get out and see it. I don't know why people would do that," Myers told Local 2.
Police said nothing was reported stolen from Myers garage and fear the person who killed the cat may kill other animals or target people.
The cat's killer faces a third-degree felony charge, injury to an animal causing death. If convicted, the killer could be punished to a fine and prison time.
Houston's animal cruelty investigator plans to ask Crime Stoppers to post a reward for information leading to an arrest.
