A man who said he was convinced his cat's behavior showed who should live and who should die has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for first-degree murder, the top of the standard range.

Prosecutors said Butsch was delusional and high on methamphetamine but knew what he was doing when he killed Vavricka on Jan. 24, 2004. Vavricka's body was found the next day in some illegally dumped garbage.

Butsch believed his cat Sam was the reincarnation of a kitten he had baked to death in an oven 10 years ago and thus could show him who was evil and who was good.

According to testimony in his trial, Butsch shot Vavricka, who was asleep at the time in Butsch's fifth-wheel trailer in Lake Stevens, after the cat refused to go near him.
As a variety of people here can attest to, my cat does the same thing. However, (a) I have not shot anyone, (b) I have never baked a kitten and would maim anyone who did, (c) I currently am not high on meth, and (d) the cat doesn't stay away from the evil person so much as bare its fangs, screams and generally scares the bejesus out of the evil person.
