A Godfrey, Illinois, woman was arrested on Monday night for allegedly killing a cat and four kittens with a hammer to punish her grandchildren.

Josephine E. Bell, 71, was charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty after her teenage granddaughter found her pet cat dead in the freezer, according to KMOV.

Authorities could not locate the kittens, which were allegedly thrown away.

Bell previously told her grandchildren that they had to clean their bedrooms or risk losing their pets, police said.

She allegedly told authorities that she had killed the cat and kittens because she did not believe it should have been her responsibility to take care of them.

As of Tuesday evening, Bell remained in jail, held on a $15,000 bond.

Ya know...if she wanted to get rid of the cats (shouldn't have gotten them in the 1st place), give them to a good home

Some people are sick. Grandma may have had a bad upbringing but imagine the grandchildren

Insane I tell ya

You are right. No mention of a daughter or a son. I just checked TWELVE sites. The media is all over the sexist aspect of it....
." Grandmother kills cats to punish kids . slaphead

She is being held until a hearing, on $15,000 bond,no word on if she has legal representation.
Or who the teenage girl is that lives there.?
Or why the cops were at the house.?
Or who called them ?
.
Weird.. this isn't over.. intriguing spock

Yeah thank you! She's really strong! I also have a son with health problems. I had really bad issues with leaving my kids. My mom is pretty much the only one I can trust.

This event occurred here in my neck of the woods, wow. If the national news stops reporting on it, i can give up-dates from my local news. So so sad, there are many solutions for un-wanted pets.

Says the teenage age girlnis a granddaughter. Could be any where from 13-18 yr old. I can only assume the granddaughter (or someone she told) called the cops after finding her cat in the freezer.

I am unclear of the sexist part though. She is a grandmother that killed cats to punish her grandkids. I'm sure she has legal rep even if it's court appointed

Mental illness shows up in various ways. Pretty obvious this is one very sick old lady.

The reasoning is identical to how my ex decided things. She didn't actually kill anything as far as I know, but she took at least one pet to the pound and claimed it was a stray. Lied about it. Claimed to have had nothing to do with the disappearance of a second, but since she repeatedly demonstrated she would lie whenever it suited her, and would (as this woman did) revert to self-righteous blame reversal whenever caught, I am reasonably certain she had the second done away with.

My ex was diagnosed Bipolar. Don't know what this lady is, and I'm no expert, but I'd bet on either bipolar, or what I think it it's close cousin, Borderline Personality Disorder.
