(02-06) 15:38 PST REDWOOD CITY -- A Redwood City man was sentenced to a year in jail Friday for stomping a kitten to death because his roommate's 4-year-old daughter had drawn all over the bathroom door.

Jesus Calderon-Franco, 33, pleaded no contest in December to felony abuse for killing the 4-month-old kitten, named Pucci.

At a hearing Friday, Judge Clifford Cretan of San Mateo County Superior Court also placed Calderon-Franco on three years' probation, although he is expected to be deported to his native Mexico after he finishes his jail sentence, said Steve Wagstaffe, chief deputy district attorney.

The incident happened Nov. 30. Calderon-Franco, who had been drinking, became angry that the girl had drawn on the bathroom door in their apartment, Wagstaffe said.

Calderon-Franco grabbed the kitten by the neck, squeezed the animal and threw it off the second-story balcony. He then went outside and stomped the kitten to death.

The girl's uncle saw the attack, and the father found blood on the sidewalk and the kitten dead in a nearby trash can. A necropsy revealed that Pucci had died of multiple fractures.

Wonderful dude! Kids ought to be protected from him. His roommate's daughter drew on the bathroom wall? Make the kid and roommate clean it up! You don't go and attack anything that moves because you are PO'd, but I guess those are his values. Deporting Jesus will only mean he will be back here threatening pets and perhaps people if he really gets mad.
