A 49-year-old Manitowoc man faces a possible felony charge of animal mistreatment. A number of residents provided tips about the suspect.
Police quoted the man as saying he felt suicidal but decided to kill his cat instead. A necropsy showed that the 10-year-old cat was suffocated – and the pet most likely died before being tossed into the river.
