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.

GOOD FOR HER!
I like Cats and Dogs. You don’t beat cats everyone knows that. The guy was out of control, so I’m sure there was more to it.

She’d walk if I was on the jury!
To beat a cat is terrible. Obviously they were having problems, and the cat situation pushed it over the top. I can see her winning in court.
Justifiable homicide in defense of another. Not guilty.
Ping.
Something of note for study?
Translation: The victim shooed the cat off his easy chair.
“Cats would just be a start, then he moves on to people.”
It’s likely she was already abused to the point he could no longer get the response he wanted — crying, begging him to stop — so this time he decided to show his manly power by torturing her defenseless cat...his final mistake.
I can’t even read about it,just the header-—and good for her.

“She’d walk if I was on the jury!”
That makes two of us!
If anything, this thread has shown what people value more, human or animal life and what basis they have for that belief. And yes, everyone will take his post wrong.
“just the header”
I know what you mean.
You’re probably very close to the truth.
It’s a girl thing.

I saw what you did there.
