Q: Neighbor shot my domesticated cat-says she was trying to get in his baby bunnies cage--Never came and told me this b4
She was a stray 4 years ago--and had kittens on that property which was abandoned at the time---she has always gone between my property and his but stayed in this general area--- I had domesticated her -she does not like to be penned up for long.. I had gotten her spade and 3 yrs rabies shot--and even got her broken tooth fixed..I am a responsible pet owner ---I told him when he moved in about her and that if she wandered on his property not to hurt her she was harmless--She was here to eat Sept 27 2018 around noon but was acting really scared--then she went running over on his property--I heard a gunshot and I haven't seen her since--He threw her in the weeds and by now there is no body--I had no idea if she was bothering them--He never came and talked to me about it--so I have no proof it was her getting his rabbits b4 he killed her--I would have penned her up again--I wanted the sheriff to see if he had any previous pet cruelty charges against him but they won't do anything
A: If the police won't write up a report about the incident or investigate by talking to him, you should call the prosecutors office to see if they would do a citizen intake.
