Joseph Petcka needs to suffer horribly in prison. From the Daily News:Responding to questions from his lawyer, Petcka admitted he kicked the cat "hard." He denied intending to hurt the cat, who he said hissed at him regularly.
[...] Dr. Robert Reisman, the ASPCA's top animal cruelty investigator, said Norman died an agonizing death after possibly being whacked against a countertop."The easiest way to cause those injuries would be to control the cat and hit its face on a hard surface," Reisman said. The animal doc said Norman's horrific injuries were similar to those caused when a pet tumbles out a window or gets hit by a car.
He compared the blows inflicted on the cat with a soccer kick and rejected Petcka's claim he "swatted" the cat in self-defense. "This is kicking it at a goal," Reisman said. "This was not pushing it away."
Norman suffered three broken ribs, a ripped lung and liver, chipped teeth and torn tongue.
He likely survived for up to 15 minutes following the initial attack, and could have dragged his crumpled body into a bedroom where he was found.
The cat died when blood filled his chest, Reisman said.
This just makes me sick to my stomach. Since I can't legally take a hammer to Petcka, I'll be donating to the ASPCA in Norman's memory.

There's a special place in hell for that man.
I hope he suffers hell on Earth first. A pretty boy like that in prison? I think he'll understand what it's like being defenseless as a kitten then.
