IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Police say a pet cat died after being shot with a pellet gun in Idaho Springs on Saturday.

For some residents there, Felix the cat was synonymous with the town.

"He was a black cat," says resident Jim Clark, with a smile.  “He used to pester the neighbors’ dogs.”

“Hopefully somebody will come forward,” says longtime resident Kate Foi.  “A family is missing a pet and missing a family member.”
