Animal Control is investigating the deaths of 10 cats outside a Northeast Side home.
Yolanda Trevino said that she made the disturbing discovery when she went to check on her cats in a tent she houses them in outside her home in the 12600 block of Cisco Boulevard.
The felines, including two kittens, had their necks snapped.
"I couldn't believe it," Trevino said in a sobbing voice. "My kittens were dead."
Trevino said that four felines, including two kittens, did survive the attack, which occurred between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m.
She added that she can't understand why anyone would want to kill her cats.
Trevino said that no one has complained about her pets.
Animal Control Officer Eddie Wright said he has little information to go on and he doesn't know if an adult or youth was responsible for the deaths.
