Police want to know who's shaving other people's cats

WAYNESBORO, Va. — The fur is flying in a Virginia town, and police are trying to solve the mystery.

Someone in Waynesboro is shaving other people's cats, police said.

Concerned cat owners contacted police to put a stop to the disturbing activity.

Since December, seven cats have been taken, have had their underbellies or legs precisely shaving, and then are returned to their owners.

Police Capt. Kelly Walker told The Associated Press Friday all the cats appear otherwise unharmed, though acting a bit bothered. He said police aren't sure what crime has been committed, but they do want to find the perpetrator.
