There are two stories reguarding this issue. First that a person took the cat and killed it, and second a animal attacked the cat. I am about 95% sure a report was not filed with the police department. I like sweethome are confused about this issue, and would like a proper story to explain it.

I have made contact with one of the family members, a very up set family member. Here is an update that THEY gave me to the situation.....
 
"The police were informed last week. My family was out of town, and my neighbors who called the police where transferred to an animal control unit. An officer has since been in contact throughout the past week with us and has sincerely apologized about the mishandling of the case by whomever transferred the call while we were away."
 

My neighbor- very old- called the police and told them it looked like a coyotee attack, thus Animal Control transfered him to Public Works and they came out.  When the man from Public Works came out, he told my neigbor that that didn't look like any coyotee attack that he'd seen, because it was such a clean cut.  He said it looked like someone had cut him in two.  By that time, however, he was there to pick up the body, so that's what he did.  When my neighbor came over to tell my mother when she got home, he was very upset and told her that someone had murdered our cat.  That's all we know.  The cat is gone now, so there is nothing to investigate.  My neighbor and my family believe that he was killed by a person or people, but we and the police have no evidence.  I hope you will all just watch after each other's animals.  The police did the best they could given what they had.  Public Works should not have taken him once they saw his body.
