A teen who horrified a judge and seasoned animal cruelty officers by brutally beating and stabbing his cat to death -- because it defecated in the house -- has been prohibited from owning pets for 10 years.

The 17-year-old also received two years probation Thursday after pleading guilty to unlawfully killing an animal, after he put his cat in a garbage bag and stabbed and kicked it before tossing it over a fence.

Justice Lloyd Dean, who has two cats, called the young man's actions "despicable" and said he had to set aside his own feelings during sentencing.

"This is something that strikes at the heart for me," Dean said.

...opinions are like a..holes, ya' know!

Americans want to be free... but nobody seems to understand how to go about it. It's fun to watch the show. I'm making some plans.

Cats are good for nothing. Mice are more fun! Hamsters are better entertainers, and a large fish tank is close to heavenly in it's contribution to sanity.

Dogs rule in my house. I know I'll get a happy greeting at the door! As for the value of your opinion, mine sometimes stinks too! But, I go with mine every time! Not all boys who kill animals are serial killers, as they would lead you to believe.

Who do you think ate the first oyster, man or woman? In high school biology, we studied live ones which promptly got slurped. We disected a cat, formaldehyde and all. It would have been better to get one fresh from the Humane Society. They kill some fresh every day!!!

Exactly so, and I can smell yours from here.
“Cats are good for nothing.”
Either, you never lived on a farm or if you did, you were oblivious to what was going on around you.
“Not all boys who kill animals are serial killers, as they would lead you to believe.”
That’s a no brainer. Do you bother to read and COMPREHEND what others post?
“Dogs rule in my house.”
Dogs are great. I’ve had five at a time.
