Sure cats have nine lives but that's no excuse for this.
Syracuse cops are accusing a 22-year-old man of hanging his girlfriend’s kitten with a belt and making a sadistic a video showing the little feline fighting for its life.
Joanne Cichy came home after trick-or-treating with her children Halloween night to find her four-month-old kitten missing, she told cops. She found a video on her digital camera the day after that showed the kitten dangling from the door with a belt around its neck.
The video showed the kitten struggling to breathe before its body went still. Cichy’s live-in boyfriend, Rascell Williams, was seen coming in and out of the video.
The kitten was found alive under the porch a little later.
Williams was charged with unjustifiable animal cruelty.
