(EUGENE, Ore.) - Police in Eugene, Oregon say a man who was frustrated with his ex-girlfriend took that anger out on her cat by castrating it with a box cutter.

31-year-old Jerry Caswell was arrested and charged with multiple counts stemming from the incident.

Police say Caswell was angry at his ex-girlfriend for not coming to his house Friday night. So he drugged the cat, named "Romeo", with human medication and then castrated it with a box cutter.

The cat was transported to the Springfield Emergency Veterinary Hospital and is expected to fully recover.

Police say that Caswell is a convicted felon and that he had multiple firearms and body armor in his home, which is prohibited for felons under Oregon state law.

Maybe the punishment should be an eye for an eye. Or in this case...
