Since Thanksgiving, Mikky Mikkelsen no longer allows her cats to go outside and that's because Mikky's lost four cats. She tells us one disappeared, another was found dead in her backyard and two of her cats were found on the road in front of her house, mutilated.

Mikkey describes what her cats looked like when she found them.  "He had no insides," she says.  "There was no blood. There wasn't anything."

At the advice of her friend, Mikky had a veterinarian perform Necropsies on her mutilated pets. The vet's report concluded Momma Kitty "... did have a clean incision line in her abdomen and had been gutted. Her GI tract had been removed."

The report said the same for her other cat Andy, though his gutting was not completed.

Mikky tells us, "When I found them, I couldn't stop crying. Now, I'm just angry. I want to get this person so bad."

Mikky's cats are her family; they were with her as she recovered from liver and kidney transplants and she says she still cries at the cruelty of what was done to her beloved pets.

And now, she says she wants to see their killer punished. She says, "Am I afraid of this person? No. I wish he'd come over her and face me."

Caroline County Animal Control tells 8News, there is no other reported cases of cats being killed in the area, but they are beefing up patrols.

Cat advocate and friend Cari Bartz says the crimes against Mikkelsen's cats are horrific. She tells us, "These kind of things do take place and I think that people should be aware of that. If they are caught, they will be punished and you just can't go around doing these kind of crimes."

Bartz says her group wants to build Mikkelsen an outdoor enclosure so that her cats can be safe.

They are asking anyone who wants to help, to contact Shadow Cat Advocates at www.sca.petfinder.com.
