You may never have heard his name before, but one time professional athlete and Brawny paper towel model Joseph Petcka is currently on trial for killing his girlfriend’s cat — in self-defense.

That’s right. A full grown man. Defending himself against a tabby cat.

After a night full of drinking, screaming at his girlfriend that she loved her cat more than him, and eventually chasing her out of the house, Petcka apparently had an actual altercation with the small animal, getting so angry at it that he eventually “bludgeoned” it to death.

The Devil — I mean Petcka — is pleading self-defense, but I’m sure everyone and their mother hopes he gets convicted. Not even Brawny can clean up this mess.
