:( How sickening.... :( Thanks Maria!

In Jefferson County, a New Alexandria man, Robert County, made a disturbing find in a local creek - a cat stuffed inside a microwave and tossed into the water.

“I junk for a living so I thought whatever I found down there I could recycle,” said County. County made the horrific find seven feet below the surface.

“I was bringing it up to the shallows when it came open on its own and what turned out to be a dead cat came floating up out of it. It was incredibly gross," he said.

County said he couldn’t even breathe when he saw the cat.

“At first it was just a lot of shock. Then when I came up for air and I looked at it I noticed it had orange spray paint on it. Other people who come here to swim tell me that disturbing find makes them leery of what else could be in this water," he said.

Raymon Harris often comes to the creek for peace and quiet, but now said he may change his mind.

“That’s disgusting. I feel like if you don’t want the cat, you should take it to a shelter or one of the hospitals. Drop it off somewhere. You don’t have to put it in the microwave, there’s no sense for that. I really hope they catch him," Harris said.

Humane officers said they hope to solve the case and County hopes he never makes another find like this again.

“People come here to fish and swim. Jefferson County deserves a whole lot better than finding something like that," County said.

Humane officers said the microwave is an older model and the cat is a female Calico.

This is evil beyond belief. My heart breaks when I think of what that dear little cat endured before she crossed over to a better place at Rainbows Bridge. Her body and soul are now free, happy and healthy in the paradise meadows of Rainbows Bridge. My Beautiful Little Shadow will have greeted her with open paws at the gate. I hope they do catch the person/s who did this terrible, cruel thing and lock them up indefinately.
SALLY D.

Twitter doesn't set me on fire-so far I've had 17 hookers following me...The internet invites idiots, miscreants, general low lifes to spout off anything they like-some of it is incomprehensible. This incident-this is beyond belief. This little cat is free of it now, though-and hopefully the monsters/s that did this will pay for it.

That poor kitty, what he must have gone through. May he now RIP. I hope the scums who did this feel so guilty it eats away at them until they lose their minds!
Thank you Maria.

Jefferson County doesn't deserve this? Surely that pretty little calico cat didn't deserve anything like that!

The freak who did this should be stuffed in a freaking oven. You have a sick and twisted mind for doing something this cruel. I hope God has mercy on your soul. Your a disgrace to America.
