A Dallas woman told police she shot and killed her husband because he was beating the family cat, according to investigators.
Neighbors said they were shocked to hear Mary Harrison, 47, had been charged with murder in the slaying of her 49–year-old husband Dexter Harrison Saturday morning.
“A man got shot over a cat? It’s kind of crazy,” neighbor Carl Phillips told KTVT. “It’s unbelievable. A man loses his life over a cat. I mean, people love their pets, but it ain’t that serious… to die for a cat.”
Dallas police were dispatched to the Harrison home in response to a shooting.
When officers arrived Mary Harrison reported that she had shot her husband “during an argument, as he was beating the family cat,” police said.
He went to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police said she went to Dallas Police headquarters where she agreed to be interviewed by homicide detectives.
“During the course of the interview, she admitted to her role in the offense and confessed to shooting the victim,” police said.
KTVT reported that the Harrison’s cat had disappeared recently.
She posted signs during the search for the missing cat. The cat eventually returned.
Harrison is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond in the Dallas County Jail.

As predicated. Ask the posters who favored one over the other what their basis was, then you will see. Get back to me after that.
I love you
In many or most cases I place the life of dogs over humans. I’m a dog lover, and people generally make me angry. There are some humans whom I cherish though, so I’m not totally off the deep end yet.
I would not be surprised if post 50 is reality.
My cats and I have discussed this here on the back porch and the five of us vote for aquittal. First they beat up cats then move to bigger animals. Just no end to the madness.
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS women’s cats!
Agreed. With most of them, that appears to be the case.
The dead guy sounds like he was just a cruel asshole. For all I know, he was beating the cat simply to torment the wife. It would be great if his last words were “Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?”
She didn’t care about the monkey.
No doubt. I’m sure there is far more to the story. These stories are always written with key info left out. Seels more papers and gets more hits that way.
