Marinated cat? This is just weird
Animal cruelty charges are being filed against a 51-year-old man who was "marinating" his cat in oil and peppers. Police discovered the cat when they heard it meowing from the man's trunk during a traffic stop.
And we thought we'd heard everything.
***Update: The cat, Navarro, has found a new home through the SPCA.

Buffalo police say officers heard the cat meowing when they stopped 51-year-old Gary Korkuc, of Cheektowaga, to ticket him for running a stop sign. Korkuc was charged with animal cruelty and released. (AP Photo/SPCA Serving Erie County)
