Patricia Lutz called police after making the discovery on Thursday at her home. A state trooper responded and dug up the rest of the cat. A neighbor was charged with trespassing after acknowledging he buried the cat there May 30. He told The Morning Call of Allentown on Monday that he thought he had the right to bury his cat there because he'd been tending the plot for 19 years. The cat, named Patches, is now in a pet cemetery. Lutz said she can't bring herself to plant tomatoes there, at least this year. ___ Information from: The Morning Call, http://www.mcall.com/ |
