A man has admitted to beheading a cat and placing the head on a stick after the cat "failed to die" when he strangled it. Police said Joshua Daniel Pena-Cedillo, 22, cut off the head of the family cat, taped it on a stick and displayed it in his backyard.
Cedillo told police he had initially tried to strangle the cat to death but upon failing, he tried to suffocate the cat with a plastic bag before decapitating it with an axe.
