Mystery in Virginia: Someone is shaving other people’s cats

WAYNESBORO, Va. (AP) — Why would someone go around shaving other people’s cats?

The mystery has the attention of police in Waynesboro, a small city in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley where someone has been taking cats and precisely shaving their underbellies or legs. It’s happened to seven cats since December.

Police Capt. Kelly Walker said Friday that all the cats have been returned otherwise unharmed, but some seem bothered. Walker says all the cats clearly had owners — they were well-groomed and wearing collars. He says police aren’t sure what crime has been committed, but the owners “would just like it to stop.”

Walker says he learned of the feline barbering spree this week when a resident asked if he could post notices asking anyone with information to contact police.- wilx.com

  1. That sounds… actually rather concerning.
    As you know, there are freaks out there who get sexual satisfaction from animals, did they check the pets for any other sort of abuse?
    [if anyone came near my cat and tried that, I’d beat the sh-t out of them, ibr.]

  2. This is in my local news and it’s no mystery. It’s a SNR program (spay/neuter/release) by the local SPCA. Feral critters and wandering pets beware. We’re hoping the program expands to the local high schools and hangouts for the 20-something singletons.

  3. It’s not right people can let their cats wander all over Hell’s creation, spreading their dander over the lawn chairs of allergic people, while a dog owner who does the same gets a fine from animal control.

  4. I don’t let my cats out. They would get eaten by foxes, coyotes, great horned owls, red tail hawks, or eagles. I never thought someone would snatch one up and shave it, though.

  5. “911”
    “Somebody shaved my pussy!”
    “Do you want the Police … or … uhh … the EMTs to come look at it?”
    “You jerk! Somebody shaved my pussy!”
    “Were you asleep? Drunk? Otherwise unconscious?”
    “No, you moron! My cat! My pussy cat! Somebody shaved it!”

    “Be advised, this is a civil matter …”
