Deceased; the cat was wired to a fence. The cat's paw was ripped off, and he was pelted with concrete blocks. A Houston veterinarian who specializes in injuries to animals conducted a necropsy. The veterinarian found that cat did not have any puncture wounds and didn’t die from an animal attack--the cat died from blood loss. Parents of the boys claim the cat was already dead and continue to speculate that a dog killed the cat.
