The self-proclaimed white supporter, accused of fatally shooting 10 blacks at a Buffalo supermarket on Saturday, once stabbed and beheaded a feral cat, according to an ominous record in an online magazine.
18-year-old Peyton Hendron described in detail the attack on the vicious animal in a March 25 recording published in the Discord application, and justified the act of illness by saying that the stray cat attacked his family cat Paige.
Gendron wrote that he repeatedly stabbed the gray stripe cat and hit its head before grabbing the ax and cutting off the animal’s head.
“When I got home around 10:30, I was eating pizza bites when my cat Paige screamed out of the garage,” Hendron wrote.
“I came in quickly and the gray cat attacked her. Then I spent the next hour and a half chasing the cat around the garage and stabbing it with my (communication) knife.
The radicalized teenager carefully recorded the murder, recording the time the blood spilled from the cat’s mouth, the knife he used to stab her and the number of times he cut her neck until her head was removed.
He also posted alarming photos of the cat’s decapitated body and his own face sprayed with blood.
“It was bleeding from the mouth around 11:00 and around 11:45 I managed to catch the cat’s tail, curl up and hit the cat’s head in the concrete ground,” he wrote. “I did it several times and when it became relaxed, I got caught [sic] an ax and swung at her neck ~ 20 times until it came off. ”
Hendron writes that he did not feel empathy or emotion after the murder of the homeless man.

“Honestly, I’m not feeling anything about killing this cat right now,” he said. “I thought it would hurt, but I literally feel empty.”
He said he told his mother about the cat’s murder and she handed him a box to bury her body in the backyard.
“I just took a shower and now I’m here, I barely dug the grave, it’s so shallow,” Hendron wrote. “Well, my cat Paige is already safe from this evil, wild cat, let’s find bliss in the mind less [sic]”
About a month before detailing the time he killed the wild cat, Gendron opened a separate diary entry on how his cat Paige has spent more time with him than anyone in his life over the past few years.
“My cat Paige has hung out with me more than anyone else in the last few years, I hope when I’m gone, my family can take care of her properly,” he wrote in a February 27 recording.

The mysterious message is typical of the often suicidal thoughts that the accused mass shooter shares in his online diary.
Gendron’s online diary includes thousands of daily entries detailing his plans to shoot and kill black people in the months leading up to Saturday’s massacre at the Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo.
In his recordings, he often expressed doubts and fears about his plans for the mass shooting and how his only options were to either get through it or commit suicide.
Hendron, who surrendered after Saturday’s bloodshed, faces a charge of murder in Erie County and could receive heightened charges of hate crimes and internal extremism soon after the case is presented to the grand jury.
