Cat mutilations - what the heck is going on?!?

We have all heard of cattle mutilations, but now the same thing seems to be happening to cats. It could be shrugged off as one really sick individual, if it was localized - but it seems to be happening all over the U.S. and the world.

In case you are skeptical, like myself, here are some links to news reports from different parts of the U.S.

Do a little research, and you'll find lots more. All the incidents seem to have a few common threads.

• The cats are cut with surgical precision
• No blood around body
• Rewards offered, but no leads or suspects can be found
• Cat are usually found cut in half, both halves are carefully set as if to be found

I think that most law enforcement agencies see this as localized, and are not realizing its happening all over. Very strange, and disturbing, to say the least.
