The duct-taped kitty in Philly
​What's the deal with young men torturing cats? Yesterday, we told you the tale of Acea Schomaker, who was hit with 90 days for stuffing his cat in a homemade bong. Today's weirdness comes from Philadelphia, where 19-year-old James Davis was arrested for duct-taping a cat mummy-style.

Out saga begins when Davis saw a cat in his yard. He apparently wasn't happy about this, so he decided to duct-tape the feline for... well... we couldn't exactly tell you. But the cat wouldn't stop wailing, so three hours later he stuck it in a shopping bag and left it in a neighbor's yard. The neighbor discovered it and called the cops...

​A Pennsylvania animal group put out a $2,000 reward to catch the cat taper. So Davis turned himself in.

But there's a little more to the story than meets the eye. Davis' brother and father were both murdered in recent years, and judging from police, the young man may not be right in the head.

"Basically he saw the animal in his yard, didn't like the animal in the yard," animal rescue worker George Bengal told WPVI-TV in Philly. "I think this young fellow has a lot of issues going on in his life. He was very remorseful for what he did. Hopefully he will get the help that he needs."

The upside is that Bengal's received 100 requests to adopt the animal.
