Pit bull ransacks stranger's S. Ogden house, forces euthanization of cat

Last updated Tuesday, March 19, 2013 - 11:52pm

SOUTH OGDEN — Police are unsure who owns a pit bull that ran into a house Saturday and mauled a cat so badly it had to be euthanized.

Cat owners say their 13-year-old tabby Milo lost its teeth and several back claws, then bled severely throughout the room where it was attacked around 12:30 p.m., before he could be separated from the dog.

A veterinarian could not save the cat, and Milo had to be euthanized.

WEST POINT — Davis County Animal Control Services is working to find the person who intentionally shot Tennessee, a black minx cat, with a pellet gun in the head.

Tennessee’s owners, Larry and Joni Hyatt, are also offering a reward to anyone who has information that would lead to the arrest of the person who shot Tennessee, also known as “T.”

Tennessee started coughing and sneezing and scratching at her face several weeks ago. When she wouldn’t leave her face alone, they took her to Dr. Mary Smart, their veterinarian at Quail Point Veterinary Hospital.

GREENDALE, Wis. -- In a reversal of fortunes, a once-unwanted cat has come to the rescue of an animal shelter in need of a new home.

However, this orange-and-white tabby named Daniel is no typical cat. He has a near-record 26 toes, a phenomenon that is helping the nonprofit Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center raise money to relocate to a new building.
