Prosecutors sought a nine-month prison sentence for 26-year-old Yihui L., who is accused of shooting five cats with a crossbow in Eindhoven between November 2025 and May 2026. One cat died and four were injured. Reports said he later admitted the acts and told the court he had wanted to drive the cats away after being scratched by a cat and stepping in cat faeces; he expressed remorse and said he had compensated the owners for damage.
