Odd Stories: Man Found Eating and Wearing a Cat

Phoenix - A homeless man is in jail after he was found by police skinning and eating a cat.

Russell Christopher Hofstad was discovered after the owners of a warehouse often used for raves called police to report a burglary after they heard loud music playing when they opened the building.  That' when the police discovered Hofstad.  They found him with a painted face and some of the cat's insides and a tail around his neck.

Hofstad said he killed and ate some of the cat's body parts because he was hungry.  He also claimed he planned to make the cat into a decoration.

Hofstad said he lived in the building because he was released from jail on January tenth and had nowhere to live, so he went there because of the raves.
