Giovanni Estrada, now 20, entered the plea in court this morning. Investigators say he tried to drown the cat in its locked carrier back in September because it killed one of his pet crawfish.
The cat, later named “Lovie” for her affection towards caretakers, had been shot by a BB gun multiple times. She was found by a passerby after the carrier was thrown into McKay Bay. Lovie was cared for by veterinarians and later adopted.
Via Lovie the Cat abuse suspect pleads guilty.
