Cat endures severe abuse, dies

With a noose around its neck, a cat was dunked in diesel oil by some mean-spirited person.

That’s the theory, anyway, after the diesel-drenched cat was brought to Alpine Animal Hospital by a good Samaritan on Saturday.

“He smelled so strongly you almost couldn’t be in the same room with him,” said Amber Clark, a veterinarian who worked on the cat before it had to be put down.

Clark said the cat had bruises, wounds and deep lacerations on his neck that were consistent with a noose or attempted hanging/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
