Tish Coleman, a 31-year-old Chicago woman, was jailed Friday after she allegedly stabbed her cousin's cat to death.

According to police, Coleman and her 26-year-old cousin were arguing Friday night when Coleman allegedly punched her cousin in the face and tore her shirt.

The cousin wrestled Coleman out onto the apartment's patio and slammed the door shut, however, Coleman continued to antagonize her cousin by creating a disturbance outside the residence, according to an arrest affidavit.

A short time later, another woman entered the apartment through the patio area - which allowed the victim's cat to run outside.

When the victim went outside to look for her cat, she discovered the animal laying on a nearby stairwell with multiple stab wounds.

After police were called, officers located Coleman about a block away from her cousin's apartment. During a search, officers recovered a bloody Swiss pocket knife from Coleman's purse.

Coleman was booked into jail and charged with aggravated cruelty to an animal and domestic battery. Her bond has been set at $75,000.
