Police in Longmont are investigating a disturbing case involving a family's cat that was killed and dumped in a river.
LONGMONT, Colo. — The owners say the cat's GPS collar helped lead them right to the scene, but unfortunately, it was moments too late."They kind of defied what cats do. They like hiking and biking and have this full sense of this fullness of life. Particularly with Basil," explained owner Holly Mathews."They are indoor/outdoor cats. I was never willing to take that away from them after we moved here," she said.
Since Basil was a little explorer, the couple recently got a GPS collar for her. It shows where she is at any given moment. On a typical day, the app for the collar will show her zig-zagging around the neighborhood before coming home. The couple got in their car and followed the tracker, it was traveling southbound on Martin Street before traveling down East County Line Road, making a quick stop at the St. Vrain Greenway parking area, then a final stop at the bridge over St. Vrain Creek, just south of E. County Line and Zlaten Drive.
Police said there is never a situation where killing a cat is an acceptable response to a stray cat on your property.
