"Lady Gaga's 'Meat Dress' Taken Too Literally: Ohio Woman's Cat-astrophic BBQ"

Oh, just another day in America! A 27-year-old woman in Canton, Ohio decided it would be a fantastic idea to allegedly stomp a cat's head in and then—wait for it—eat it in front of her neighbors. Because why not, right? It's not like empathy and common sense are on the menu in 2023. Bravo, humanity. Just bravo.

Oh Meow-My! Ohio Woman Arrested After Allegedly Turning Kitty into a Snack

In a bizarre incident that's made even the most liberal of us say "WTF?", an Ohio woman was arrested after police claim she stomped a cat to death and then had herself a little feline feast—all in front of an audience. Buckle up, folks.

A 27-year-old woman has been slapped with a charge of cruelty to companion animals, according to Stark County court records. Because apparently, some people still need a legal reminder not to turn pets into entrées.

Canton police cuffed the woman on Aug. 16 after they say she killed and ate a cat in a "residential area in front of multiple people," according to an arrest report snagged by USA TODAY. I mean, who needs Netflix when you've got real-life horror shows like this?

During an arraignment hearing on Monday, the suspect's bond was set at a cool $100,000, WKYC reported. Her next hearing is on Friday, so mark your calendars for more WTF moments.

USA TODAY couldn't get a hold of Ferrell's defense attorney on Thursday. I mean, what do you even say to defend this hot mess?

The 911 Call that Started It All

On the fateful day, Canton police officers rolled up to the scene after getting a complaint about a woman who "had killed a cat and was eating it," an investigative report said. When they arrived, they found a woman with her hands on a cat "which appeared to have its head smashed in," the report continued.

Blood on her feet, hands, and fur on her lips—the report reads like a low-budget horror script. Officers then took Ferrell to Stark County jail and secured the "cat as evidence," because who doesn't want a smashed-in cat corpse hanging around the evidence locker?

It's still a mystery whose cat it was, but let's hope it wasn't someone's beloved Fluffy. RIP, kitty.

In the meantime, can we all agree that 2020 needs to chill with the crazy?
