Aaron Spaulding, 39, was initially arrested on June 4 and accused of battering his girlfriend and holding her against her will, the Las Cruces Police Department said in a statement.While police were responding to the incident at Spaulding's home, they learned he may have been neglecting his dog and a domestic shorthair cat, police said.
Authorities said he strangled and force-fed drugs to the cat, and announced Tuesday that they'd upgraded his animal cruelty counts to a felony after tests found the cat had methamphetamines in its system. Information on his attorney was not immediately available.Read MoreHe was originally charged with false imprisonment, two counts of battery against a household member, interference with communication and two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, according to court records.
Jesus CNN!! IT'S LIKE YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING ANYMORE!

Walter Whites cat.
Who tested the cat, and why? This demands an answer!
She might wanted to get high too😂
Throw away the key to his cell
First a squirrel and now a cat?
With gems like this. No wonder CNN took mad magazines audience
This is crazy.
Soft kitty, warm kitty, all geeked up on meth..
I didn't know you could charge a cat with a felony, but do the crime do the time. I hope there is rehab included in the sentence. Down with dope, up with hope!
But walk into a Walmart with an AR-15 strapped to your chest and it’s just yo, what’s up brah?
Poor kitty! 😿
So this guy's cat does meth and HE'S the one that gets in trouble?!
Was it for the force feeding part or the meth part
Felony or feline-y? Too soon?
Maybe it's Jesse Pinkman's cat?
Charging cats now? Send him to rehab.

Shouldn't this be feliney?
Gross. Why
How do you even tell if a cat is on meth. They act so weird
He is apparently a rich bigot
Wait. They charged the cat?
I feel like this headline missed the obvious pun of him being charged with a 'feliney'
The man was charged with a felony, the cat was charged with a feliney!
I warned him and said one day it was going to catch up and bite him in the tail. I even did an intervention with all his friends around for support and we begged him to please quit the catnip. I hope now he gets the help he desperately needs at the Feline Recovery Center
Omg..Illegal Aliens rape 11 year old multiple times....
😞
How does the police decide to test a cat for meth? this sounds like more CNN made up fakenews.

And Crickets from CNN. What a sicko and pervert you are Don! CNN's Don Lemon accused of assault in sexually charged encounter at New York bar
What's the point of charging the cat?
Poor little kitty.
Now will you try her in court ? Allow her to say something in her defence ? Will you then sentence to rigorous imprisonment and fine her too ? Meiwwwwww !
The last thing this world needs is cats on meth.
What the hell is wrong with people? 😡😡😡😡😡
Feliney
Someone else in the fast lane to hell...have fun...
Animal's abuse should always be punished! peta
