Reward offered in case of duct-taped cat

A $1,000 reward is being offered for the conviction of whoever body-wrapped a cat in duct tape and abandoned it in a North Philadelphia yard.

Only its head was uncovered.

"Whoever did this is very sick," said George Bengal, director investigations for the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is headquartered in North Philadelphia.

"I've never seen a cat totally wrapped like a mummy before," he told 6ABC.

A resident of the 2200 block of Edgley Street found the cat yesterday afternoon.

"It's a damn shame," Irissa Torian told CBS3.

The female cat - nicknamed "Sticky" by workers at the PSPCA - was sedated so the tape could be cut away with scissors and saved as evidence.

Afterward, the cat was doing well.

"She's a very friendly little thing," said Gail Luciani, PSCPA spokeswoman. ". . . She was purring while we were preparing to take the tape off, while we were getting her sedated."

"We're lucky that the tape was not on the cat for a long time. It came off easily," she said.

"I don't have an estimate of how old she is. She is an adult," she added.

Anyone with information about this case should call the PSPCA's cruelty hotline at 866-601-7722.

I will never understand the fascination with torturing animals. Cats are always a target for this kind of abuse by sick assholes. I think the penalties for this crap should be 10 times worse than they are.

ARRRRGHHHH!!!!
Who the H-E-double-toothpicks can do this to a defenseless cat???

Do NOT tell me the details....

You’d be that lenient???

Hunting and angling for sport and food is one thing. Ridding our surroundings of disease-carrying vermin like rats and lice is another. But duct-taping a cat from bow to stern doesn't seem to fall into either category. That's just due to some defective needing a checkup from the neck-up.

The Case of the Taped Tabby

'That said, I can't see my Cat staying still for even a few seconds if anyone tried to duct tape it. This was a remarkable feat if just one pervert did it.'

Dem perverts probably ended up looking like they were dragged through a coil of concertina wire, if I know cats correctly.

Proverbs 12:10 — "Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."

Along those lines, I was thinking that all one would have to do would be to look for some one who has scratches over 80% of their body.

Amen. It's a sad commentary on how much we have abandoned God.

The person who did this to the cat should be punished with a simple misdemeanor.

The people who murdered over 1,400 babies this very day should be executed by our civil government after trial and any proper appeals.

Don’t freepmail me.
If you can’t say it in thread, don’t say it at all.

Oh please, take your self-righteousness somewhere else. Do something about the parasites producing more parasites and sucking away my tax dollars then I will start caring about abortion.

Read your comment again. I don't think it was Blueflag that has to worry about being self-righteous.

Do you have a mirror handy?

Perhaps a serious case of cat scratch disease?

[spectre]

I agree with ya'll...Hope the kitty got them good!

Crime does not pay.
