I guess I am the only one confused on this issue.  I am assuming that stumpy does not think a police report was filed by the post he/she made.  I am also assuming that the owner of the cat does not want to tell us if a report was filed with the police.
 
I would like to know if we have a crazy person running around Bluff Park killing cats.  Isn't there a police officer that posts on this forum?  Could they tell us if this really happened?

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 am offering a $500 reward for information leading me and my family to the person/persons responsible for mutilating my cat- cutting him in half. The event occured Sunday night (Oct 19) in the Bluff Park community. He was left on Meadowlark Drive. Thank you for any information.

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."

I am not sure if the family member was upset because of the doubt or what happened to the cat.  My guess would be both.  At least it explains why stumpy did not think a report was filed with the mix up between the police and animal control.  I thought we would have gotten an update by now on the cat, but if there is nothing new to add, I guess there is no new info to past on.
 
I appreciate you contacting the family to clear up the confusion and hopefully the family will understand why some of us were confused.  It would be nice to hear what the police think about this.  Was this a random act or did the killer target this poor family?  We may never know.

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.

I hope that all responsible individuals are caught, prosecuted, and stopped.  Tomorrow is Halloween night, a time for fun for children, for most people.  It can be a time of danger for pets because of a few sick people.  Please keep a special eye on your pets, especially cats, tomorrow night.
