A New Twist on an old story – Cat Man

Ever hear of a crazy old cat man - no its always so old lady - well he is our first cat man. Who lives where else - but Florida!

A man living in a home with a layer of animal feces between 2 and 3 inches deep and as many as 300 cats, both alive and dead, was arrested Friday. Jonathan Terpstra, 61, was charged with 55 counts of animal cruelty, two counts of tampering with evidence and one count of resisting without violence.

Authorities had to break some windows to ventilate the home. Oxygen levels inside the home were low and ammonia levels extremely high. One deputy told the paper that when he arrived at the home, there were vultures feeding on a cat carcass and more vultures on the rooftop.
