Duff’s son called police last Oct. 13 to report the family cat – Oreo – was dead.
When police arrived, the deceased animal was outside the Goulds, N.L., home and officers found blood and cat fur in the kitchen sink.
A vet determined the cat died from a stab wound to its chest, likely from a single-edged blade.
The 54-year-old Duff represented himself in court Friday, pleading guilty to one count of killing or injuring an animal.
