A kitty killer hissed angrily at animal rights activists Wednesday, after taking credit for stuffing the helpless pet into a 500-degree oven.
As Cheyenne Cherry, 17, exited the courtroom, after pleading guilty to two charges, she passed a row of animal rights activists who said they represented more than 20,000 people who signed an online petition supporting harsh punishment for Cherry.
"Justice for Tiger Lily," read one sign held by the demonstrators.
Cherry grinned widely, stuck out her tongue and responded, "It's dead, b*tch!"
Cherry stood accused of animal cruelty and attempted burglary in the killing of her former roommate’s pet, Tiger Lily, and ransacking of an apartment.
Tiger Lily was left to die inside a blistering oven after Cherry and a 14-year-old friend trashed the apartment of Valerie Hernandez.
After her arrest, Cherry told police the cat killing was "just a joke." She admitted that the younger girl, 14, who is facing trial in Family Court, put the cat in the oven - and "I didn't let the cat out."
The pair fled the apartment because they didn't want to hear the dying cat's cries or desperate scratching at the oven door, authorities said.
As part of her guilty plea, Cherry Cheyenne, 17, will serve a year behind bars and agreed not to keep a pet for the next three years.
Cherry is not new to animal crimes. She was busted last year for using a BB gun to dog-nap a teacup Yorkie with her boyfriend.

poor kitty i hope its not because im vaction away from my house
That's really awful. How could someone do that to a living thing? And she only got one year in prison! Plus, she cannot own a pet for three years. She should just be banned from owning pets at all. And what she said to the person holding the sign! This girl got off too easy, I think.
THEY ONLY GAVE HER A YEAR!!! And she can't have an animal 3 for years... just 3! Totally not fair...
I completely agree with you!!
Wow!!! Maybe she should be put in an oven in a public place and burn just like the KITTEN did!! That's not only and animal,a living beautiful little creature but also a defenseless baby!! She should get the life sentence just like one would get for killing a person. People and animals are both living creatures=people should get the same punishment for killing people and animals!!!
