3 teens accused of killing friendly cat

Three teens stand accused of snatching a stranger's cat and killing it before hanging it from a noose over the side of a train trestle for motorists on Sunol Boulevard to see, police said Tuesday.

Police arrested 18-year-old John van de Roovart, who allegedly killed the 18-year-old cat named Xeno, on Thursday on suspicion of felony animal cruelty after an interview with an officer assigned to his high school.

According to police, the crime occurred Jan. 17 -- the Martin Luther King Jr. school holiday. Two 17-year-old boys from Pleasanton drove around that morning looking for a cat to kill.

"They were just looking for something to do, I suppose. It's really unfortunate," said Pleasanton police Sgt. Brian Laurence. "The cat came right up to them. It was a friendly cat, unfortunately."

The boys then took the cat to van de Roovart at his house, said Laurence, who declined to discuss how the animal was killed.

Soon, drivers on Sunol Boulevard reported seeing the hanging cat; two of them later offered a $1,000 reward. A tip led School Resource Officer Michael Steiner to van de Roovart, Laurence said.

The 17-year-olds were also arrested on suspicion of felony animal cruelty and released. A fourth teenager's role in the cat killing is still being investigated.

I have yet to hear of a woman killing an animal for the heck of it....

They usually just kill their husbands.....:eek:

A few summers ago I remember seeing a large dead dog by the side of the road....

On the way to work the next day someone had taken a stick, run the animal thru with it and left it standing straight up.

Up the street was a high school and the dog was on the side of the road where all the kids walked by....Some beesturd from the school had done it..........and it still bothers me.

You have never heard of women killing animals like this? You live a sheltered life, I've heard just as many stories about women doing similar things.
