L.A. man gets two years in prison for killing girlfriend's cat

The Associated Press reports:

A Los Angeles man who killed his girlfriend's cat, telling her to "follow the blood trail to find Tweety," has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Blood was found in the girlfriend's apartment but Tweety was never found.

Scott Allen Atkinson pleaded no contest to two felony charges of animal cruelty and threatening the woman's life. He was sentenced Wednesday.

Prosecutors say that Atkinson, 46, killed the black-and-white cat after an argument in October, then he told the woman's daughter he was going to kill her mother.

Very often domestic abuse perpetrators kill their "lovers'" cats, dogs and other pets. These criminals are so sadistic they wantt to inflict extremely severe physical and psychological harm. No punishment is too severe for this devil in human form
