Professional cat spooner.
Dorchester, MA - Neighbors described a macabre scene as they peered into the backyard of an abandoned Dorchester home: A young man swaying to the beat of music, his arm rising and falling rhythmically as he allegedly chopped a cat to pieces. He wore a single black glove, the witnesses said, and between each swipe of his machete, he cleaned the blade.

The 12-year-old daughter of Justin’s [a neighbor] girlfriend said she had seen the 17-year-old once before, when he and two other young men last week walked down behind the abandoned home, which is overgrown, boarded up, and covered with “No Trespassing” signs.

She thought nothing of it, she said, until the ball she and her siblings were playing with rolled down into the yard. When they went to get it, she said, the three young men were gone.

There was a dismembered cat lying in the yard.

Already spooked, the family immediately called 911 when they saw the young man Tuesday. He had tools with him, they said, and looked as if he were burying cat body parts in between cutting them up.

When police arrived and asked the teenager what he was doing, according to the police report, he told them he was just “hanging out.”

But as police surveyed the yard, they saw dismembered animal parts strewn about. A large machete, a folding knife, a hand saw, a trash bag, and a bottle of Clorox were found on the ground, according to the report.

“What would possess you to kill the cats in a back yard?” one of the officers asked the young man, according to the report.

The teenager said he did not have money to put the cats down, but officers told him shelters would take the cats for free “and he didn’t need to do this to them.”

The teenager then told police the cats were really strays he takes in, according to the report, and he killed them because “he was bored.”
