Calgary police want to know who left a cat’s head on the doorstep of a northeast home.
An arson investigator was at the home in Temple on Monday, following up on a suspicious fire case when he found the severed head of a cat.
It’s unknown how long it had been on the home’s doorstep.
Police believe the cat’s injuries were intentional, not the act of a natural predator and possibly meant to send a message of intimidation to the fire witness. Investigators believe more than one person knows who is responsible for the animal mutilation as well as the arson.
A tattoo inside the cat’s ear identified the animal as a three-year-old female named Bell whose owners live nearby.
Anyone who has information on this case is asked to call police at 403-428-8634, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
