Accused cat killer Joseph Petcka says he was attacked by Norman, a declawed kitty?
Joseph Petcka, the "Sex and the City" bit actor who is accused of killing his girlfriend's cat last year, claims it was, 
well, in a word, self-defense.
But in his trial, which began this week in New York, it seems the actor who once played the Brawny paper towel guy will have some serious 'splaining to do. He is accused of killing a 7-pound feline named Norman on March 27, 2007.
According to the NY Daily News, his girlfriend, Lisa Altobelli, insists he acted in a jealous rage because he once accused her, 'You love Norman more than me!"
Yesterday it was revealed in court that the cat was, in fact, DECLAWED.
Ouch.
Today an ASPCA official is expected to testify that the kitty died of broken ribs and massive internal injuries.
Petcka faces two years in prison for charges of felony cruelty.
And can we just say that two years is not enough? Let this be a lesson to every pet-owner. If your cat or dog doesn't like someone, pay attention! There's a reason!

What an absolute monster! I hope he rots!
On much lighter note, National Talk Like A Pirate Day is tomorrow, 9/19: http://tinyurl.com/6rdogr
It's shameful what this person did. You know the cat, for whatever reason the man killed him, suffered and feared for his life. It is wrong.
Does anyone have a site I can email or call to vote this guy GOES to jail?
Joseph "Petckilla"?
Ruined his career, and for what? But let's look on the bright side: Quite a pretty boy, with no doubt quite a pretty ***, should be the toast of his cell block. Watch out for that temper!
This isn't as bad as what happened in my home town not too long ago.

Self-defense? It's a cat. Disgraceful. Prepare the cell. With a cat.
I hope you die a painfull death YOU LOSER
Please PLEASE someone/ANYone who knows this worthless individual Joseph Petcka will you PLEASE teach him a lesson on how real men fight (they don't pick on innocent animals). He's so obviously got issues with being *small*--it's such a cliche' for a small endowed man to take it out on 'the world' for his inadequacies.
Generally I don't condone vigilante justice, but 2 years is not enough time for what he did to that poor blameless animal.
I want someone to hurl this *** across a room, and slam his head into a wall. He is a worthless waste of space and the world would be a better place without Joseph Petcka. He doesn't deserve death, he deserves to be crippled for the rest of his days on this planet.
SOMEONE GET PETCKA!!! PLEASE
(how ironic...petcka must mean pet killer)
This man is the most vile piece of human extrament there is. Two years is not nearly enough for what he did. This is a violent, evil man who deseves to have happen to him what he did to that poor little kitty. I wish I could be the one to dish out the punishment to this prick. I hope he gets iced in prison.
I NEVER want to see this bastard on TV, ever! There better be jail time served for this!
