A Nebraska man is charged with animal cruelty after police said he strangled two of his family's cats.

Nebraska City, Neb., police Capt. Lonnie Neeman said that 47-year-old Eric Inman's wife and children left their house following a July 22 argument. So, Neeman said, he called her and said she needed to come home or he'd kill a third cat.

Neeman said officers found two cats buried in the yard. A vet examined them and determined the cause of death was strangulation.

Neeman said Inman told officers the cats were old and sickly and would soon need to be euthanized.

He was released after posting 10 percent of a $10,000 bond.

He has since been charged with two felony counts of animal cruelty, which carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Inman is due in Otoe County Court on Aug. 22. No attorney was listed for him in court records.

A number listed for Inman rang unanswered Thursday.
