Police said the officers attempted to use pepper spray to get the cat down, and when that failed, they called animal control officer Jessica Spangler and told her to bring her harness pole.
The officers attempted to net the cat with the harness pole, and when that failed, used a Taser gun on the animal.
"Once the animal was brought down, Jessica told the officers that the cat was so severely injured that she ordered the officers to shoot the cat. For safety reasons, the officers took the cat outside the city limits and shot it," Chief Hearn said.
Senior also tasered-

The officers tried to negotiate with the man for about five minutes. But they say that when they tried to approach him, he came at them, raising the wooden club.
At that point, one of the officers fired her Taser at him, but it didn't make proper contact and the man kept coming at them.
The other officer then fired a second Taser, and the man started to fall. The two officers say they were able to catch him before he hit the ground.
