CHICAGO - Police say a traffic stop led to animal cruelty charges after they found a live cat "marinating" in oil and peppers in the trunk of a car.
Chicago police say officers heard the cat meowing when they stopped 51-year-old Kurt Steinberg to ticket him for running a stop sign Sunday night.
They say they checked the trunk and found 4-year-old Navarro in a cage, his fur covered with oil, crushed red peppers and chili peppers, according to the Chicago News.
Police say Kurt told them he did it because Navarro was ill-tempered. Kurt was charged with cruelty and released; his phone number isn't listed. He has a lot of strange friends on Facebook.
Police say he told them he was going to cook Navarro. Kurt also told officers a number of things that didn't make sense, including that his neutered male cat was pregnant.
Animal advocates have cleaned Navarro and put him up for adoption. The Chicago Police were convinced that Kurt had been humping the cat and using the pepper as a sexual stimulant.
