Chicago - Percy Love, a 22-year-old Southwest Side resident was arrested Monday afternoon after officers witnessed him take a running start and kick his black cat named Nightmare into the air. The cat, just under a year old, went flying 15-18 feet high and Love ran after the feline with both hands in the air in the "field goal" gesture. As he ran towards the cat, officers noted that he was also laughing with enjoyment.
Currently held on $50,000 bail, Love's charged with one count of animal cruelty. He told the arresting officers, "This is my cat Nightmare. He is tough, we play like that all the time -- it's just a cat."

Chicago's Animal Care and Control representative Cherie Travis stated how though the kitten didn't suffer any life-threatening injuries, vets are still performing X-rays to insure no internal damage has occurred to the cat.
During a hearing January 24, the court gave Animal Care and Control ownership of Nightmare. Travis said she had high hopes for Nightmares' possible adoption.
"He's a very friendly cat, hopefully he'll be up for adoption soon," she said.
