Sentence: Howard County Circuit Judge J. Thomas Nissel sentenced Ayten Icgoren to six months behind bars for mistreating dozens of cats in the Columbia townhouse where she lived with her daughter.

Icgoren also will serve 18 months of probation after she is released from the county's detention center.
