Cops arrest man with 300 dead cats in his freezers

Three of his freezers were filled with the animals. The guy lived with his 81-year-old mother, which reminds me to rent "Psycho." (Sacramento Bee | News10.net)

maybe he was trying to find one whose color matches his beard better than that AWEFUL rug on his head...

In other news.....the price of General Tso's Chicken just went up at every chinese restaurant in town.

Maybe the cats were frozen in various positions... like he was setting up a home-made version of Tetris.

guy looks like a BAT! from his picture accompanying the Bee article.

-When I was a kid a Chinese restaurant near my grandmother's was shut down for serving road kill dear.

-another one closer to my ancestral home (we didn't at at this one) was closed for having kitties in their freezer.

-one of my buddies from Connecticut told me that a Chinese restaurant in his home town was shut down for having a *hawk* in their freezer, lmao.

-Unnamed (or unremembered) Chinese restaurants in Philly's Chinatown section has been shut down for serving numerous domestic animals, and, get this, MOST FREQUENTLY for RATS and PIGEONS. Blech! :P

Only frequent reputable places, folks!

Sterilization is called for.

He was probably going to return them to the pet store and never got around to it.

Posted by: twerp | May 5, 2008 1:20:05 PM

He might have just gotten tired of the neighbors not keeping their cats under control and got fed up with animal control not doing anything about it and decided to handle the situation himself. Then again... he might have a fixation on "Sleepwalkers" by S. King. Who knows what goes on in the mind of a person who played way too much D&D and got way to "into character."

Hard to say what goes on in the mind of a fruitcake.

his mug shot looks like that guy in Austria that had his daughter in a dungeon for years making incest babies

Truman Capote wrote about a woman who kept her dead cats in her freezer because she couldn't bear to part with them.

He's gotta be using those cats for hair pieces!
OMG!

Cats is tasty.

Posted by: spstevens | May 5, 2008 3:43:08 PM

Dog tastes better and they're easier to catch.

OK, that was Calif.

Texass is up next.

I can't help but wondering what was going on in the live cats' minds. You can call cats a lot of things, but stupid (usually) isn't one of them.

Posted by: outofsalt | May 5, 2008 6:11:52 PM

I've always preferred fresh pussies... the frozen ones frost my mustache...

I don't know...sounds like this guy didn't attract the best and brightest of the feline graduating class or they wouldn't have been in the house in the first place.

300 DEAD CATS.....MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: ULTRA | May 6, 2008 4:42:45 AM

Were they for a chinese restaurant?

Cat's... The other white meat.

I have a dead chicken in my freezer. And a chunk of a dead cow.

Posted by: Alan | May 6, 2008 6:49:14 AM

Awwww...poor kitty. :(

Posted by: Amara | May 6, 2008 7:01:25 AM

I don't know why he was keeping dead cats, but they never said he killed them. If there were still 30 running around, he is obviously not a cat hater. Maybe he just didn't know what to do with them. Ya know, one died, and he thought, I'm tired, I'll freeze it and bury it tomorrow. Then another one died, and before you know it, he was up to is 'icehole' in dead frozen cats. Is this racial profiling cause he is a scuzzy looking white guy? If he was Chinese, it would just be an investment.

Posted by: jojo | May 6, 2008 7:49:59 AM

Thanks Wolf. Yuk. No more frozen pizza for moi.

Oh, and I see it isn't the only case.

Birth Control is readily available in Germany, infanticide isn't necessary.

Maybe he was planning to re enact the battle of Thermopylae with stop motion.
